"Of course I a not!" He protested, scoffing. "I am a man of principles, how can you even say that?" He shook his head. "But I can go there to drink tonight and see what I can learn for you. The sacrifices I make for my little sister."

"Then I'll make you do it for me!" She said, singsong, and laughed to herself with humour. "You're all about unseemly women and untoward behaviour, are you not? You'd fit right in!" She cackled with mirth in her eyes.

"My point exactly, Maera. While this is not the only way to whore around, it's rather conventional and so moderately easy to track. So, shall we set up camp near the Dirty Dornishman? Mind you, people go there to just drink as well. It's those who are drawn to the second floor you can find suspicious..." He said it seriously, then tapped his chin. "Now that I think of it, it may be hard for a young, graceful woman with a strong sense of integrity like you to investigate the matter without becoming exposed to tainting conduct."

Her smooth brow furrowed at the suggestion and she frowned.

"I would not want my future husband laying with those women. You make a fair and valid point, brother. Any man who attends a brothel is not one I would want to pursue me afterward."

"You are asking me for advice and guidance? Unheard of." Kevan laughed. "But you may not like the first idea I have despite it's rather sound. If you want to tell apart those worthy from those less so, check who will be attending the brothel tonight."

"Well!" Young Maera smiles conspiratorially, dipping her head towards his, "I was hoping to lay gander on said potential allies, when they are unawares. It's late, and guards are down after journeys to reach Ashford, some more exhausting than others. Where do you suppose we would get the best look at what we have in front of us? Where would you begin?"

"But this is your hunt tonight, Maera." Kevan reminded her with a smirk. "So where are we going? Invading one of the tents?"

"We have nearly all of Westeros open to us, here, brother- for our choosing! I've never seen so much diversity, it's so exciting! I can just taste my future here, waiting to unfold! Whatever you want, I'm sure you'll find it here, hiding in these rolling seas of tents."

"As long as he's willing to teach, dear sister." He snarled, removing his hand. His contentions with their father were well-known to both. In fact Kevan had become more defiant lately as he was losing patience for the old man to deliver on his promises. "I feel like I need to get the teachings of the world more. Fortunately this looks like a right place."

She wrinkles her nose visibly. "Is that some sort of pillow talk? Hey!" she swats violently at his hand on her head, ducking away from him - but smiling, nonetheless.

She knew he cared.

She just wouldn't say as much. Not out loud. Not even at pain of death! Not then!

"You may be heir, but we're very lucky to have Father with us. We have a lot to learn from him still."

"You'd be surprised by the extent of my understanding of and for women's needs" He snickered, ruffling her hair as he caught up. "I have to learn a lot still, Maera, just like you." He added on a more serious note.

"Well! Looking out for you is a lot of work. A lot." She underscored the emphasis with a roll of her shoulders, and slowed down her gait a bit to wait for him to catch up.

"But I'm grown, now, and I can handle a lot of different things! I have to learn everything. I mean, I can't expect you to understand what women need to know."

"You mean you are that kind of vanguard that springs traps on self so I can just walk idly in and have all the sweet things unharmed?' He chuckled, teasing." Are you not taking too much on yourself?" Her understanding was absolutely correct, jokes notwithstanding

"You should get used to seeing me so far ahead of you, sweet brother," she called over her shoulder. She seemed to be looking for a spot of trouble she could embroil herself in, that much was for sure. "If I meet any pretty girls here, I'll be sure to send them your way in my wake!"

But there was an unspoken certainty between the two: Maera knew Kevan would always be there to catch her if she fell.

That actually dulled the competitive edge in his mind and awakened brotherly affection. Kevan thought of unpretty things he would do to any of Maera's suitors if they turned out to sleazy and conniving, hiding their dark hearts behind a studious mien. He considered it a danger for her, to fall for an intelligent man rather than a good one. The intelligent ones were usually trained to wield their mind as a weapon.

"Don't race yourself into the forest after dark without ensuring I have your back." He called to her.
