Evan chuckled,"Oh do not take my comment the wrong way, I care about the North and their dealings because it could trickle down beyond their lands. "
" I do believe my sister's son is there, but I have not kept up with events as of late with her. "

"Oh. I fear I don't know much about such things," Amanda said with a little shrug. "But I do hope your nephew is safe, of course. Fortunately my own house is so small, and my relations are not given to travelling, so I am not very worried."

He again chuckled at her, "Such advantages I wish we had, but..." Evan tossed his hand up, "such is the role to bare being a major house."
"Some smaller houses may not even be able to handle the constant turmoil of such duties. "He smiled at her," Be thankful... There are days, now that I am growing older I find myself thinking of doing more than being perched here among the bickering and scheming... "
He sighed, looking into his glass"... To becoming a husband again, to do a better job at being a father or both..." Evan grinned at her, "but such dreams are far from me fulfilling at this present time."

"I see. Well...there is no reason why you should not do both of those things in the future. I imagine that the scheming and bickering would be much easier to deal with if you had someone to share your time with. There are many people here, but it's still possible to be alone, I find."
She smiled at him.
"I am so happy to have a friend here."

She smiled at him. "I am so happy to have a friend here." Smiling, he then kissed her cheek softly, "I am also glad to have a friend here as well." Evan then looked at her, "Do you know why my sister is the ruling Princess even though I am the elder son?" He downed his wine, tasting it on his lips waiting for her reply. |

She shook her head. "No, I didn't know that you are the elder. Please tell me if you think I should know."
She was looking at him with a great deal of curiosity now.

She shook her head. "No, I didn't know that you are the elder. Please tell me if you think I should know." She was looking at him with a great deal of curiosity now. " Well... ", he leaned back on the chair," I believe that friends should share truths will other, do you not think so? " ".... But, I let Lyssa rule Dorne because that is not my place, she is perfect for it. Her abilities make her perfect, her mind, her ability to tell the unrelenting truth no matter the circumstances." Evan could not help but smile when he spoke of her, "She... Is... Strong, a true Martell in every sense", he looked at her grinning, "her brothers had a place in that, but we ultimately have our sister, Carmesi to thank for that." "It may also be her war experience that rounds her, as well. "He nodded," I did the right thing for her, our love of our family and of Dorne. " His eyes smiled,"and my place is to protect her. Wearing the title: ruler of Dorne, I cannot do that. " |

She looked at him for what seemed a long time. Then, eventually, she nodded.
"It takes a strong man to admit to his own weakness. I have never heard of anyone refusing power of that nature, no matter whether he is suited to it or not. But that is good. A bad ruler suits nobody. Though I do not think you would be a bad leader, myself."

Though I do not think you would be a bad leader, myself." Evan patted her hand lightly, "I do thank you for that compliment." He poured them more wine, "And you are right there are few that would give up power, but that is what makes us different in my family from the others in Westeros. We can step aside when we have to, and still support each other." Realizing, she had been there a while, Evan sipped from his cup, "I am sorry, I did not mean to ramble on like an old woman." Chuckling, "I am sure you don't want to sit here listening to me praise my little sister. What would you like to do instead my lady?" |

"Well, we could walk in the city if you like," she said. "Unless you would like to stay inside?"

"Well, we could walk in the city if you like," she said. "Unless you would like to stay inside?" He stood,"This room holds me captive enough." Evan offered his hand to help her from her seat, "I think some fresh air would do me good.." Then he chuckled, "... Fresh air... I forgot I am in Kings Landing, there is no fresh air." "Maybe the gardens then, my lady? " |

Amanda laughed as she let him help her up. "The gardens have a better chance of fresh air than any other place in the city, to be sure. Yes, let us walk in the gardens. Do you walk there often?"

He laughed with her, then smiled," It has been a while since I've ventured there, but I think today should prove well. " And they exited to the gardens. |

Evan read the letter he had just received from Doreah. As his eyes scanned the words, he anyway knew what she meant and what she wanted him to do one he arrived at the Lannister manse.
He put it down on his desk and began to get prepared to see his sister.
