i'll talk to him

( no one is killing each other on his watch. )

[provoke]

Will he listen? He might have questions about why you're interceding.

[behavioural]

if he asks, i'll tell him the truth

[provoke]

I don't mind that. I mind if he'll think less of you for your intercession.

[behavioural]

he won't

( he might give him a hard time over it though, but he can handle it. )

[provoke]

Mm.

I truly didn't think he would so eager to fight. 'Twas a mild insult.

[behavioural]

it was still an insult though

i can't have the both of you at each other's throats, aemond

[provoke]

I didn't make the challenge. He remarked on a call for insults and he's surprised to have fielded an insult himself? I could have pressed with worse.

[ he will concede, however, that it was an insult. ]

If he retracts the challenge, I'll not speak ill of him again.

[behavioural]

if he retracts the challenge, can you make amends with him for insulting him?

[provoke]

He threatened to kill me on no uncertain terms, Pierce.

Whatever apology he feels owed is well and paid for by his own challenge.

[behavioural]

( he didn't think this was going to be easy. )

yea, you're right
he shouldn't have threatened to kill you
if you don't want to apologize, then you don't have to
but you're both important to me
i don't need you guys to get along
just don't put me in a difficult position

[provoke]

[ it's not often — truthfully, it never happens - that someone appeals to his nature for his own sake. his mother had tried it for the realm, and his peers have tried it for themselves; pierce is asking for both of them, in his own way.

what a strange feeling it is, to be considered and not discarded. ]

I cannot just ignore a challenge laid at my feet so directly, but I have no desire to press this any further if it discomforts you.

You matter more to me than he does.

[behavioural]

thank you
seriously

[...]

oli has given me his word that if you're willing to apologize for insulting him, he'll retract his challenge and apologize for making the threat

how does that sound?

[provoke]

Is he willing to do it in person?

[behavioural]

it wouldn't be his first choice, but he's willing

[provoke]

It is the only way he will hear it from me. I am still a prince of the seven kingdoms, even if my birthright is not recognised here. An apology is not something I can easily give.

[ an apology is something he could be killed for. this oliver must appreciate what he's even daring to ask. ]

[behavioural]

we do this in my room then

( he needs to be there in case this goes off the rails. )

[provoke]

I should come unarmed, then?

[ seeing it's a private choice for neutral territory. ]

[behavioural]

yea, unarmed

come by tonight

[provoke]

For the apology? Cutting it a little close to the quick, don't you think?

[behavioural]

( he would rather get this out of the way, but— )

alright
just let me know when

[provoke]

First light on the morrow. Six in the morning, I believe is the hour.

There is something I have to take care of first.

[ he has a sister missing he needs to find. ]

[behavioural]

sure, i'll see you then
