Arya nodded her head and took a bite of food. "I won't argue the matter. I wish you happiness."

"Thank you. Your good wishes mean much to me. knwo there will be many who disapprove, though Daemon swears such rules do not apply to the blood of the dragon. "
She drank some wine and picked at her food.
"He plans to marry me, you know."

"I would think so if he loves you. He is the king as you say, and I assume you want to marry him too so you can ride the dragons with him. It was tradition for the sisters to be wives and ride the dragons too." Suddenly things made a bit more sense.

"It was," Joanna agreed. "Unfortunately Morgan does not understand that Daemon's feelings towards her are the same as they always were. She thinks I want Daemon all to myself. I don't. Arya, I promise you that your friendship will be remembered once I am Daemon's wife, but I would be thankful if you would do me a favour, for the good of the realm."

"I could understand Morgan's feelings I think, no one wants to share. What would you ask of me Princess?"

"Are you to remain one of Morgan's ladies?"

"I don't know how that will work. Would you take me on as one of yours? I would need to explain myself to Morgan."

"Of course."
Joanna smiled.
"I plan to invite my goodsister Anni to serve me and I'd be happy to have you as well if you wish to join me, but I don't expect you to if you'd rather not. We need not discuss the matter if it makes you uncomfortable. The favour I would ask of you is this, will you keep an eye on Morgan for me? I am worried about her state of mind at present. Daemon thinks she will come round, in time, but I am not sure. The last thing I want is to make her miserable but it seems an inevitable consequence of the present situation. I would like to minimise the damage, if it can be done. Your help with that would be much appreciated."

Arya nodded, "I can do that for you. But would you wish for me to remain in her service and watch her, or be your lady and simply visit her from time to time?"

"Remain in her service, at least for now. You always seemed happy in that role so it may be best you keep it, unless it becomes difficult for some reason. Hopefully I'm wrong and Morgan does love you, though I know she can never love me, now."

"It wouldn't be good for the King or court for two warring Queens. I will do my best to mend the divide that has formed. I will do as you ask. It would help if I could have my man with her. To stop her from doing anything foolish, but he doesn't come from a great house."

"That's a good idea. I can't be seen to intervene, of course, but I will give you my backing if you choose to Daemon," Joanna promised. "I hope that between us we can do some good."

"My man will do as he is told Princess, there is no better quality than that in a man. But it is not all too important maybe. I don't know, it was just a thought."

"It's a good thought, if you can pull it off. I am not sure, though. Do you think Morgan would consent to having a man at her side who is not of the Kingsguard?"

Arya shook her head. "No, I highly doubt it. He'd probably have to win some of the tourney so the king would consider taking him on."
