Joanna smiled. She didn't have her sister's feeligns about Steffon, perhaps because she saw him rarely now. "Steffon's not that bad! He wants only what is best for you and for House Baratheon. I am quite sure that he loves you as a brother ought." She stopped and looked hard at Marianne. "Do the two of you quarrel?" "No more then any siblings. Steffon just has ideas that I disagree with alot of the time. I fear he went downhill when our father died, and drinks now." |

"Uncle Eustace used to drink as well," Joanna mused. "Perhaps there is something in the blood of the Baratheon men that makes them particularly susceptible. I don't believe my father drank to excess, though, and he had the same blood. as Uncle Eustace. Ah, well, who knows why men do the things they do?"
Joanna laughed.
"What kind of things do yourself and Steffon disagree on?"

Marianne shrugged. "Just things at the end of the day, nothing so dire that he wants me out of the way forever, and some things that are forgiven within the hour. I know if I need him he would be there, same as Rodrick."

Joanna nodded.
"Good. I would be there too, you know, and likely our other brothers if you had need of them. Family is the most important thing there is. I believe our kin understand that."

"I think Mother drummed it into my head enough." Marianne said with a smile. "She must have been worse on you four though!"

"Yes, definitely, though 'worse' is a bad choice of word, little sister. Naturally we eldest children had to hear more of duty than the rest. Daemon has responsibilities none of us can ever dream of, which Mother obviously understood, while the boys had their lands, and I, well, princesses have only one responsibility. We marry to oblige our family. You have a similar responsibility though there is less pressure on you," Joanna said. "I would have envied you that, once, but I am happy enough with my Jon."

"That is true. I am truely glad that I was not born a princess." Marianne said with a small grimence. "I would hate the eyes of the world looking at everything I did, how is Daemon? I havent talked to him at all since I came to the city and I dont want to draw him away just to see me. I see him with courtiers surrounding him all the time."

!That is usual, for Daemon. Kings are never allowed to be alone. He and I haven't spoken much, recently, but we will speak again soon. I just don't want to overwhelm him."
Joanna smiled all of a sudden.
"Why don't we get together, all seven of us, away from the pressures of Court life? That might be fun."

Marianne laughed. "That would be fun, we could all see mother or something, that would make her happy seeing all of us together. For once."

"Yes. It sounds perfect. I shall talk to Daemon about the Court's movements and then I can arrange it with him," Joanna decided.

"I can talk with Steffon and Rodrick. Maybe you would get further with Maekar then I would." Mari said, liking the idea more as they talked

"Alright. I'll try it. I see Maekar now and then when both of us are in the Vale but we are not particualrly close. I will approach Daeron too, of course."

"Well he is more like to listen to you then he is me at any rate." Marianne said with a grin. "You know how he is, but then again if we hold it in the vale we could just surprise him with it. See what he says to that."
Her eyes sparkled mischeviously.

"Well, that's a possiblity but we would then have to make sure he wasn't planning to go elsewhere," Joanna argued.

"Well one of us can attack him at one stage. Whoever first!" She said giggling
