Brandon and Darien

[Lord Howland Royce]

Brandon shrugged, "Well the danger must seem real enough, so I thought to maybe continue Aranya's plot for a while. It might even be a work if we are lucky".

[Flex]

"Good enough. Wow..." He had to step back for a moment and take it all in. "Killing the Sealord. We're putting ourselves in a highly dangerous position here. Now, how would we pin this whole thing on the Targaryens?"

[Lord Howland Royce]

"Well, if we are careful enough they won't be able to blame us, and we won't personally go to Braavos. I am not sure yet, the Sealord seem to refuse the dragons any help. Overly long notes that seem to be misplaced would just make it obvious," Brandon said. "We just need something simple". Brandon paused thinking of what could be used.

[Flex]

Darien strained his mind but could not come up with anything useful. "I can't think of anything right now... but perhaps we will come up with something in the time it takes for Yozs to get here. Surely there has to be something simple that would work."

[Lord Howland Royce]

"I could write a note in High Valyrian saying "Don't dissapoint me, the dragon remembers", there's not many who know the language and the Targaryens have the strongest link to Valyria," Brandon suggested.

[Flex]

"Hm, yes. I suppose that will do. And where best do you think this letter should be 'found'?"

[Lord Howland Royce]

"Well, it won't do if it was looking all neat and folded when people find it. It could be put in some servant's clothes, in a pocket or something. The "assassin" will try to burn the servant clothes. If the paper is hidden in the sleeve, the sleeve could be some ways out of the fire and so preserving the note without being too obvious".

[Flex]

"Perfect! Now all we need to do is be careful that none of us are caught. Do we have any of our own men among the Targaryens?"

[Lord Howland Royce]

Brandon shook his head, "Not that I am aware of, Aranya might have had someone though".

[Flex]

"Okay... it seems we will need to keep up with what the Targaryens are up to. This man also might be helpful in planting something that could link them to the Sealord."

[Lord Howland Royce]

"If there is such a man, it would help a lot, and I believe the King's spies are able to look after the Targaryens. No point in taking on too much for the moment".

[Flex]

"True, however I believe one can never be careful enough. Is there anything else?"

[Lord Howland Royce]

Brandon scribbled down a sentence in High Valyrian and gave the note to Darien, "I don't think so".

[Flex]

Darien took the note and put it into one of his secret pockets. "Good luck then, cousin. I hope the battle shall go well for us." He gave Brandon a pat on the shoulder and left.
