"Things are going well enough. There was a minor setback recently. A job left unfinished, but it will be dealt with in time, I am not concerned. If a fighter were to drop his hands to his face and cry every time he missed a jab, well.. he would not be in the fight very long," The Braavosi lord leaned over the table and kissed his companion.
"You know Prince Daeron, I think that poor girl will starve to death if you do not take your dining duties a little more seriously." He smiled widely.

Daeron nodded with a grin and fed his companion some quail, followed by a sip of wine. "You speak wise words, lord Delinal. To be truthful, my brother has heard about the troubles going on here in Braavos. His biggest concern however was this alliance of free cities that seems to think Braavos needs to be taught a lesson."

Delinal waved his hands, "Posh, they are rabble. They have no idea where they'd be if it weren't for us. Fighting amongst themselves look a bunch of chickens pecking after worms, more likely than not. Once I'm Sealord, confirmed and true, they'll be put into their place."

"Then I shall wish you the best." Daeron replied, kissing the girl beside him on the neck. "Though I must say, you serve a good table."

"Your brother, the King, he is... sympathetic to this alliance?" Delinal asks, leaning forward slightly.

Daeron shakes his head. "I think Daemon has decided to remain impartial, as far as I know." Daeron slowly drinks from his wine. "Perhaps his involvement depends on what he hears from me when we speak next."

Delinal smiled, "Another glass of wine Prince Daeron?" he gestured for a servant to refill the Prince's glass.

"Thank you, lord Delinal." Daeron said, holding out his glass for easier filling. "I do have to say, Braavos is a very beautiful city. Even if I cannot stay for too long I find myself longing to come here every now and then."

"Indeed," Lord Trei says, "Well you are always welcome here at Manse Delinal. I'm sure you will pass my well wishing on to your brother as well. Does he have any desire to see the abroad? I think it is good for a king to... meet with his equals, from time to time."

Daeron nodded. "I will give him your wishes. As for Daemon's travelling... well, he is used to moving around, what with court not being in one set place, though I will recomment Braavos to him for sure. I well know the wisdom one can learn from travelling."

"Most excellent," Delinal replies, munching thoughtfully on a piece of meat, before offering a piece to his companion, who dutifully licks his fingers clean.

Daeron does the same, smiling to himself as he did so. "I have heard much of the Faceless Men of Braavos. I assume the, ah, temple is still active?"

"Of course," Delinal replies, "Why do you ask? I assure you my wine is far superior to what they serve at the temple." He grinned.

Daeron grins, even though he doesn't quite understand the joke. "Mere curiousity; men, or women for that matter, that kill with ease and are able to change their appearance are an appealing thought to me. Though I believe their cost is quite demanding."

"Its exorbitant. Do you have someone who needs killing?" Delinal asked with an upturned eyebrow.

Hope you all are well and happy.
