This seems to be going about it completely backwards to me with what we know of Laena from our meeting with her just now. I doubt that she will take kindly to being forced to not do what she wants to. No, we need to convince Laena that Daemon isn't what she wants in the first place.
Of course, that assumes a future son alive at the time.
The next time we talked To Laena we should brought up our friendship that we made on progress as Rhea feature prominently in it.
Asking her to stay and then doing absolutely nothing with her for half a year (worse, sailing off to Dragonstone for half of that) sounds like a good way to waste the opportunity. That said, if we do fit her in next, it's gonna leave absolutely no room for anything else without dropping something significant.
We don't know if Rhea's location is close enough to be invited hunting. The last time her location was mentioned is in Interlude : Arrival when she arrived together with us in King's Landing and It's been 3/4 year since then.
I think there is a typo here. It probably should read "your relationship wouldn't deteriorate"
If we could invite Laena to Dragonstone we would interact with her next turn and also help in AP hell as I think we still lack one action and one convo in T17 the Dragonstone turn (Alicent/Poet/Music/(Qoren if we invite him)) so we can fit her in.
Context matters, though. Qoren's arrival was very visible and an obviously Big Deal, and our father is about to announce a betrothal, which gives us a great excuse of having spent this time dealing with the Dornish delegation. But after this, Qoren is very likely going to go back to Sunspear (only so much time he can afford to spend away from his own kingdom as a relatively new Prince), and we run out of visible indications of the deep AP hell we're in.
Huh, did he roll really well somewhere, did our easy acceptance speed up the process, or were the negotiations always going to be shorter than he had expected? Just curious.
As far as I know, background rolls were fairly smooth and no major changes were asked for by Rhaenyra. Fucking over the Peakes was the biggest ask we had and that went perfectly too, so...
The "let's hope Rhaenyra is so busy she forgets she's on the clock to do something about Viserys" plan (honestly don't mind that, half-measures would probably do more harm than good on second thought)
I'd prefer to speak with Otto about the RTA, our betrothal and generally improve our standing again. We pretty much need to butter him up one way or another before we can spring either of these topics on him.
Daemon: triumphantly returns to King's Landing
If we are going to do Azel's TRA write-in Next turn, I'd recommend talking with Isembard Arryn as well.
I very much disagree, we are in AP hell, especially with Viserys' Disease and Alicent's Romance, and if we are not asking about Alicent or our Dad's treatment, then we should talk with someone else...
It would probably help, but with so many important things to do, I wouldn't bother at all with him next turn... Azel's plan is cool but I wouldn't bother to put more than a single action on it...
Laena, yes. Qoren, no.
I don't really see how talking to Gwayne would help with Otto. He made his pitch and if he doesn't support us already, there's nothing that another talk can achieve.
Well, the main reason why I want to talk with Gwayne is because of the description of his conversation this past turn... Especially the part about "He could prove a valuable ally still and the three of you might be able to figure out a way to ensure Alicent never has to leave your side."
And I am not especially interested in talking with Alicent next turn, but since it seems we can only talk with both of the siblings about the matter at hand, well, I am just rolling with it...
