"Man has a temper," he replied, the irony of that statement once again not lost on him. "Expect he's happy for the moment though. All that trouble for a bit of white laundry."
"You know when I recommended we tie those backwood knights to the Crown and grant them Harrenhal, I did not think the task would fall to you," he said, tone not apologetic in the slightest, just cold statement of fact.

"And yet here we are," Saesha said, tone going sour, "or rather, here I am, being sent into exile for supporting my brothers. What did you imagine would happen then, if not this? " all the other great bastards got exactly what they wanted... She was being dramatic, and mopey, but for the night everyone else would have to deal with it.

"I recommended Princess Daena," he replied, flexing the fingers on the hand he had cut open. "His Grace was not amused. Her Grace, even less so."

"Far beneath a princess to marry a commoner raised high," she replied, rolling her eyes, she had thought with daemon on the throne things would be different, for bastards and the like, seeing as he was one, that was apparently a naive assumption. Oh well. "I am glad that there was someone so expendable around to spare the princess," she said with a sliver of a smile.

"I suppose a child is no fitting mate for a warrior," he allowed, voice trailing off a bit, unclear if he was speaking of Ser Belric or himself, as he was to wed Princess Daena's twin sister. "Still, you deserve better...than that old ruin."

"Thank you, but Belric is not that old," she said and smiled a bit more genuinely at her own impressive humour. "Harrenhal will be a welcome architectural challenge. I might leave one tower a smouldering wreck in memory of what our family did to it. What is it you think I deserve?"she was oddly touched by the sentiment.

"He can fight, I'll give him that," he muttered, as if it begrudged him to admit it. "Bryden was just lucky he got to him before I did."
"Ever the optimist, sister," he replied, tone indicating he did not find optimism an enviable quality. "You deserve to be here, where your talents are of best use. You earned your place, maybe not with blood, but certainly with sweat."

"I fought, I helped daemon from day one." Saesha replied, frowning, glancing at their brother briefly, "but fine, he wants me away, fine, I'll go. Daemon doesn't need my talents anymore, that's fine, it happens."

"Did more than that twin of yours," he grumbled, bitterly, seeming to ignore her own melodrama in favor of his own gripes.

"Yes well, she has talents more suited to him at this present moment, clearly," Saesha replied, looked to her sister, "is she going to sign?"

"Everyone signs and she'll consider herself lucky that's all the blood she lost," he said, with a touch of venom, though when it came to Shiera he had always been more bark than bite. He did not remark on her talents.

"Perhaps." Saesha frowned, she was bitter about Shiera, more bitter than she wanted to admit to even herself, her sister had always got more than her, better than her, she got the men she wanted, the things she wanted, now even when she was on the wrong side of a war, the exact position she wanted, while she was cast out. "goodnight Aegor, unless we have to stay here until everyone has signed."

"I do, but you should rest," he waved her off with his bandaged hand. "You have a long day ahead of you."

"Yes, and a long life after, regardless of how many days I last after," she waved to her brother then left the keep to go rampage in private.
