A stag has noticed arrivals, of late. Of the Westerosi, there are (or were) -- wolves, quite a few of them, two stags, a dragon, perhaps? A lioness as well, but what of the lion? I had heard there was another.

And now there is a man of the sea, too, newly arrived. He stands with the other stag, to my knowledge. Are there others present? Where do they stand, here or at home? Things must certainly be different on this ship.

A dragon is gone.

Then I suppose the stags have one less to worry about.

Do they?

Perhaps. It remains to be seen.

Do the stags still fight each other?

They are at peace for now. It remains to be seen.

You make us sound more like a menagerie than men.

[ Ever the fool, Renly was. ]

Perhaps I should have included a lobster, as well. Fitting, is it not?

[...Yeah, Stannis, he's playing the annoying little brother card.]

Your idiotic japes amuse none but yourself, little brother.

[ Yet in his heart, perhaps he feels a slight twinge of regret.

He brought his doom upon himself... ]

I disagree, were Robert here he would have been amused.

[He did, yes, but he does not know that just yet. perhaps it is best to let sleeping dogs lie for now.]

Holding yourself to the standards our late elder brother set would be foolish at best.

Yes, you have said so earlier. I am no fool, Stannis.

Yet your actions would prove otherwise.

That is your opinion, and it seems you have not bothered to change it in a very long time.

... it must be quite the sight, to have such an arrange of fantastic beasts in one place!

[ a soft laugh to indicate he's joking. ]

[There is a very amused sounding-drawl in answer.]

Oh, I assure you it is, ser. Very fearsome indeed.

Quite the zoo.

You with the Ren Faire? [ A stupid question, of course, but you never know. ]

...Ren faire, ser? I do not take your meaning. [....Well, that's a yes.]

Uh-huh. Just answered my question. It's not ser--Brendan's fine. Pretty sure you're older then me.

[Okay, but that did not answer Renly's question at all. Oh well.]

I am one and twenty, ser.

[ Yeah, welcome to Brendan. ]

You don't act your age. [ Coming from someone who acts like they're 80. ]

[Thanks, he makes things so much less confusing.]

What makes you say so?

Cat like you in the burg doesn't gather a cavalcade of friends like this. Sure, could be people from your neck of the woods--but it's eggs in the coffee. Dig? That's the crop.

....Are you quite well, ser? [He sounds just slightly unsure of himself, now, because what if he's talking to a madman of some kind?]

[ AUGH. ]

Yeah, M'fine. If this is about how I speak, I can try to rephrase it.

I await your explanation, then.

You talk like a leader, but it's not exactly just schoolyard followers. It's somethin' else, I guess.

[He still doesn't quite get it, but the meaning is plain enough, now.]

I am one, so that may be it. Or I shall be, once I win my throne.

Once you win it?

Aye. There is war in Westeros.

Where you're from. [ There's an unsaid 'elaborate' there, but Brendan's not really one of many words. ]

It is, yes. I am from Storm's End. The war is -- over the iron throne, which my eldest brother lately held.

So you're rightful heir or somethin'?

I am a better choice for a ruler than the current one.

[ That? That's interesting. Way interesting. Bendan's brow raises, even if Renly can't see it. ]

Uh-huh? [ Teenager for 'explain?' ]

My nephew is cruel and foolish, unfit for the throne his father held. [--Robert was somewhat foolish, too, but definitely not as bad as Joff.]

Huh. I thought that's how a monarchy works, though.

My eldest brother took the throne by force. I intend to do the same, if I must.

[ H...u....h. ]

You could install democracy. Food for thought.

I do not understand you.

[ brendan is way too lazy to explain in his own words ok ]

[--And he will just be perusing that and be very confused.]

A man of the sea, aye?

Aye, the man called Ser Davos.

Ain't ever heard of him. What sorta man is he? Aside from...

[He waves a hand.]

...of the sea.

A smuggler who saved the life of myself, my brother, and what remained of our bannermen many years ago.

[He raises his eyebrows at that.]

Sounds like a good man, eh?

Well, we've got a cow in the oxygen garden, if that's any help. Chickens too.

Not the sort of animals I quite meant, but thank you, ser.
