"Perhaps that is for the best. I imagine that she'd have a fit if she heard about what Daemon and Joanna were doing together, she always seemed so against you Targaryens reverting to your old ways," he said with a wink.

"Joanna has always strived to get what she wants." Daeron replied. "And Daemon, well, he loves our sister. We'll see what happens."

"Daemon loves himself, he wants our sister, at least from what I can tell. I am surprised that Joanna is content to be the King's mistress, even if it is publicly known. That seems a little... hypocritical, based on how she talks about women and their rights," Steffon replied.

"Maybe she is willing to sacrifice one thing for another." Daeron replied with a mysterious smile. "After all, Daemon has let her ride a dragon on several occasions."

Steffon nodded, and then blinked several times in surprise. "A rather awful thought just came to me, I do not know if I ought to voice it aloud," he said quietly, an uncharacteristic nervous look on his face.

"'A whisper can sometimes be stronger than a shout.'" Daeron quoted from one of his books of history. He raised his glass for a toast and drank.

Steffon toasted his brother without smiling. "I am no good with whispers and secrets, that is why I rarely attend court unless I have to."
His voice lowered even further. "I wonder if the King took Joanna as a mistress after her husband was killed, or if he ordered Lord Jon removed to make his conquest easier."

"I am afraid that is a question which might never be answered." Daeron answered. "Joanna did recover rather quickly from mourning."

"I've always known Daemon to be somewhat self-serving, but I attributed that to growing up at court. I never thought he would be capable of such things that I hear whispered about him these days though. I find myself... vexed," Steffon said unhappily. "I mislike not knowing what to do," he added, draining his glass and again gesturing for it to be refilled.

"For now we must live with it." Daeron replied. "I feel very much like you do but we must not hasten to a decision... after all, Daemon is the king."

"Aye, that he is, and that we must," Steffon said. He sat quietly for a few moments, neither man saying anything. "Did you and Daemon truly double-team Joanna and Becca at Runestone? That was one of the rumors that I heard a few weeks back."

Daeron chuckled to himself, staring at the wall. "Becca unfortunately never showed up; Joanna however... well, let me say we did her in a civil fashion."

"Ah. It sounded like a party Becca would have found thoroughly amusing. Who else attended? The Queen, I imagine?"

"Aye, though she left." Daeron replied. "There were a few more, though they did not play such a great part."

"I heard Maekar was there with his wife, but I also heard that Daemon and you had a little thing going on so I chalked those both up to overeager gossipers," Steffon replied.

Hope you all are well and happy.
