[homebird]

That is one possibility.

[moondanced]

They need to be found. And stopped.

[homebird]

That is assuming they are responsible for their own actions.

People have been drugged before, here. Made to do things they would not otherwise do. Queen Alicent warned me when I arrived, though she spoke in terms of bodily pleasure. Not murder.

But people are easily enough incited to the latter, given the right motivation.

[moondanced]

There's a disturbing number ready to jump at violence for this alone. Drugs may be one motivation, but it seems others look for the smallest to incite them.

[homebird]

Yes.

That is the game I don't want to play.

How does your father fare, Lady Baela?

[moondanced]

Ready to violence.

He wishes to avenge his wife and son. I don't fault him that, but he rushes forward without evidence.

[homebird]

Then he will make matters worse.

Everyone is afraid. It's the real monsters who deserve to suffer. Not the one who swung the sword, but the one who commanded they do it.

[moondanced]

Only if they truly had no control of themselves in so doing. If they were merely tempted by a meager reward, then they are as guilty.

[homebird]

Yes, I agree.

Also, that we must find who they are if we are to find that answer.

[moondanced]

I will not be resting until I find who killed my Jace.

[homebird]

Nor should you. You deserve your revenge.

So does your father.

[moondanced]

We should look to each other to aid one another should danger find our doors.

[homebird]

It is well that you have family here, Lady Baela. You can help each other.

[moondanced]

I meant you and I, your Grace. I would like to do right by Lord Cregan Stark and ally with his descended Queen.

[homebird]

[ she misses her sister.

her brother.

the north.

winterfell was full of people she could trust without question, and now she is here, and there is no one that she can trust like that.

sansa has lived that life before, and despises knowing that she must do so again. ]

Your cousin Aemond has been kind to me, and your aunt, Queen Alicent.

And you have been kind, my Lady.

I would like it if we could help each other.

[moondanced]

I know my family is close, but I would like for you to not be alone. You are still of our home.

[homebird]

What of your own descendent, Daenerys?

[moondanced]

She is considered family, too.

[homebird]

I shall consider your words, Lady Baela, and I thank you for them.

I greatly miss my own sister tonight. She is not much older than you.
