Don't mind if we serenade her now, but I want to try and get one more study in so that we can describe her. Suave rhaenyra who leaves alicent all a flutter ftw.

[X] Yes, serenade her with poems of your love and affection.
Surely, that is at least partly Daemon's fault, he outright refused to visit Rhea's bed.

It is worth remembering that while Rhaenyra is currently a tennager writing her very first love poems, Alicent too is a teenager having her first poems read at her.

Do we really believe such an obvious truth would occur to Johanna "Internalized Misogyny" Westerling?

You may have a point, but surely Johanna could understand wanting an heir of your own body.

Ah, that makes sense. Interesting that she apparently has a high opinion of Viserys' judgment, I wonder if that's a just her assuming she should defer to the king or her husband, or if it's for another reason.
There might be hope that is clearly not being of low moral character will change her opinion… although that is often not how that works, so a bit of a crapshoot. Also, we'll be having an affair no matter what we do and that probably counts as low moral character.
Another thought I had here was that if things ever end up in a state where Daemon is trying to sweet talk the Westerlings, then we could sabotage that by informing her of Daemon's sexuality. But that'd be kind of a fucked up thing to do.
We definitely should keep uncle groomer away from our brothers and sisters though, and that's likely a point of agreement we can have.
Nothing she's said has seemed particularly misogynistic (or at least no more than Westerosi norm), and she took our training in stride. She is homophobic obviously, and has strong opinions on the marriage.

A true knight doesn´t back down from a challenging quest, especially for her lady´s sake.

Whence the actions for the other options...

Getting more staff, which is a matter of happenstance and serendipity and cannot be planned around, or growing older, which won't be for a good few turns at least.

Honestly from a quest design perspective the action squeeze is probably a good thing.

Yeah. Like there will in time be more actions (within reason) and stuff like just being able to assume you're always doing enough training to maintain your strength and skill at the cost of something. But when that starts you'll be facing new responsbilities like raising having and raising kids, working as a member of the small council, perhaps managing things on Dragonstone if you so choose. You're probably never going to be in a situation where you can do everything you want.

Of course - if you can do everything, there would be no element of choice. And needing to strategize actions is a challenge, which is something quests need. There absolutely should be an action economy squeeze. But the reverse of that is that we do in fact need to strategize actions, and it's an argument in votes like this.
