Jaes continues eating his meal, and turns to Laena, "I am glad that you like the soup, it is a local delicacy and is held in high regard within our city." He states with a smile as he takes a spoon full and eats it. " And how about yourself, Princess Rhaenna? I had it added to the menu especially for you."

Rhaena was uncharacteristically ravenous, having already eaten a fair bit of the first course, she looked round at Jaes and offered him a glowing smile, the food having been all delicious so far, "I have yet to try it, but if it really was placed on the menu for me, it would be terribly rude not to try it," she said, picking up a spoon and taking a sip of the soup everyone was talking about.

"I meant no offense, Triarch," Aegon replied, though he made no move to dismiss Rolf. "We trust your security, of course, but we would be remiss if we did not prepare for unfortunate events even in unlikely circumstances." Aegon's smile was not genuine, but it was pleasant enough. "The bird -- it is heron? It is delicious."

"Indeed, it is being heron; you are having a skilled eye," the Triarch replied with a smile. "The soup is being a fish broth, with vegetables and oysters and, ah-" she paused for a moment and a slave ran up to whisper in her ear.
"You are calling it testicle, of the elephant. It is being a very auspicious and rare dish in Volantis, and is being served to young couples because it is being a potent aphrodesiac and it is being a great stimulant for the making of children. I am always knowing when my husband desires another child, for he it is serving it to me whenever he does. That, and other reasons as well," she added, with a fond smile at the man sitting to her right. "Is it being to your liking, Prince of Dragonstone? It is being a great honor, in Volantis, if your guests are conceiving an heir while they are being under your roof."

Aegon kept eating the heron, but he laughed. "That is an honor we hope to bestow to you as well. In the end it is the will of the gods, of course, but it shall not be for lack of trying." Aegon reached over to squeeze his betrothed's hand briefly in a public gesture.

The Triarch nodded knowingly, and she smiled sweetly at Aegon. "I am remembering when I was a girl, newly betrothed to my first husband. He was being a much older man than I, and was not always being as gentle as you, Prince of Dragonstone. Your betrothed is being a very lucky woman."

"On the contrary, I am the lucky one," Aegon answered. He was getting better at this useless kind of small talk, Aegon reflected, but he was not sure if that was really a good thing. "A man could not ask for more in a bride."

Rhaena looked round to her betrothed and put a hand to her chest, seemingly a little overcome as she looked on Aegon before looking round at the Triarch, "Betrothed couples are rarely as fortunate as Aegon and myself in being so well suited to one another."

The Triarch smiled widely, eyeing Rhaena up and down. "We are providing the finest apartments for you both, and we are hoping that you are using them well while you are staying in this Daughter of Valyria," she replied, before turning to look at Aegon. "You will be forgiving me, I am hoping, for speaking of business at dinner, but the other Triarchs and I are wishing that you will be coming to speak with us in the Capitol, to be discussing matters of state. There is being a meeting tomorrow, that we are requesting that you attend; you may be bringing your betrothed, if you are wishing."

Jaes continues eating his soup and heron, while the Triarch and the Royal Couple discuss matters of business. He thinks fondly of the surprise that he had prepared for them once they make it back to the rooms that were prepared for them.

"We should be glad to attend," Aegon responded. He had no strong feelings on whether Rhaena went or not, but they could discuss that later. "There is much we might discuss with Volantis that might benefit both of our great nations."

"I am agreeing, there is being much that Volantis can gain from the Iron Throne, and the Iron Throne from Volantis," the Triarch replied, though Aegon did not miss the order in which she mentioned the benefits. "But that is being unfit talk for the dinner table, and I am begging your forgiveness for speaking so."
She finished her bowl of soup, and looked to Aegon, whose bowl was untouched. "Is something being amiss with your meal, Prince of Dragonstone?"

"It is all very good, Triarch," Aegon replied, beginning to run out of ways of telling these people that their food was satisfactory. He dipped his spoon into the soup, avoiding anything solid or lumpy, and took a small sip.

It is being a great honor, in Volantis, if your guests are conceiving an heir while they are being under your roof." Arenya was silent, eating her meal watching her family interact. The soup was very good, as she spooned it into her mouth. On the third spoonful, she caught the mention of "elephant testicle". She paused and raised her napkin to her mouth politely emptying the soup into the sagging rag, removed it and drank a large helping of her wine. |

Since it is impossible to spit a mouthful of soup into a rag, half of it spilled all down the front of Arenya's shirt and onto her breeches.

Brandon considered that the Triach was laying things on rather thick, and Aegon and Rhaena predictably overreacted. It would be an obvious symbol that all was not as it seemed. He remained impassive, but he would speak to Rolf and Arenya about insuring there were no troublemakers in the apartment.

Jaes watches as the woman across the table tries to spit up her soup and failing that having it land all over her clothing. "It seems that our food did not agree with you, It is a shame that it might ruin your clothes." He states with a long inward sigh.

Arenya looked at him,"it's a difference when you hear the ingredients of your food, then you receive a visual." "Basically the soup was very delicious until I heard what it was. I meant no offense." Then looking down at her vest, she smiled at him lightly,"I can have another made. It was just that it was one of my favorites." |
