[rezni]

Certainly. I'm at your disposal.

[lambencies]

My plan to assist the parents of this town... Should I wait until approaching the families again or would that only make them suspicious?

The outcome did not deem us guilty, but my behavior caused a lot of distress. Especially to those with children.

I know you have no children of your own, but I value your opinion.

[rezni]

Don't abandon your plans, Alicent. I believe them to be of great benefit to all of us.

[ however— ]

But were it me, I would let some time pass. No more than a month, but more than a week. Now that the moot has passed, it will give everyone time to settle their nerves. And I believe that in that time, you'd see some of the parents seek you out before you go to them.

[lambencies]

Yes, a month would be too long. I agree. I'll take your advice and keep my distance until it feels right to touch on the matter again. Thank you.

Also my apologies for not congratulating you on the opening of your hall earlier. I believe it will be a success.

[rezni]

Thank you. It's not the circumstances I envisioned opening it, but I think the diversion has been of use to everyone. If you ever wish to attend, I'll reserve a place and a token for you.

[lambencies]

I am curious to see what you've done with the place.

In the meantime – if my eldest son, Aegon, attends, I would kindly ask you not to let him take part in the games unless his brother is there to accompany him.

[rezni]

Has gambling been a problem for him in the past?

[lambencies]

[ what hasn't been a problem for him in the past? ]

He is the King. [ so to even suggest such a thing? impossible! ] I simply wish that he does not go to these places unaccompanied.

[rezni]

[ Alicent can't know exactly how close to home this hits. There is a beat of quiet, before— ]

If I see him arrive on his own, I'll call for Aemond. You have my word.

[lambencies]

I knew I could count on you and your discretion, Nikolai.

[rezni]

Of course. And don't forget my offer. I'd enjoy playing host to you, should the mood ever strike you.
