(Changed Taegor's name to Taegon to make it a little different from Maegor.)

The Tyrians also didn't want to be outdone, so Vaehna also volunteered one of their riders for the war.

"That should be more than enough." Old Maegor said.

The other senators agreed.

"Very well, senators, this meeting is adjured." Consul Taegon. "Houses Aeksion, Glaerys and Tyria will send their riders to rendezvous with the reinforcements in Volantis to aid Volon Therys and crush the Prince of Sar Mell's army, ending this little Rhoynish uprising."

The Triumvirate departed, Taegon walking behind the other two Consuls. As this meeting had been a matter of foreign policy, the Legislative and Judiciary Consul didn't intervene. Each Consul only ever preceeded over meetings that related to their branch of the government.

As the other senators began to leave, Oros walked up to his brother. He whispered. "Rhaegel, why are you sending me off to Volantis? I thought you wanted me to help you here in Valyria."

Rhaegel put a hand on Oros' shoulder and talked down to him as if he was a child. "Oros, we must be proactive if we are to restore our reputation. Having the exiled lordling fight for the Freehold instead of whore his way through half the world is a good start to that."

Oros frowned, he hated when Rhaegel acted superior to him. He was 8 years his senior, but they were both full grown men. "What of the rumors?"

"What best way to get rid of bad rumors than to replace them with good rumors?" Rhaegel asked.

His brother didn't reply. ''Cutting the tongues of those that spread rumors is better, but I suppose that would be impossible in a city like Valyria. Too many tongues to cut.'' "Fine, I will fight in this stupid war."

The senator smiled. "Good, maybe now you can make good use of your savages instead of just flying them around our grandfather's dragon."

Naelassa approached. "A word of advice, keep an eye on the Tyrian when you get to Volantis."

"I know that." Oros remarked. He was well aware of the rivalry between their Houses. "What of this rider from House Glaerys?"

"House Glaerys are an honorable bunch and as dull as the anvils where they make their swords." Rhaegel replied. "Only Lady Laerys is of any danger in this game of politics, but she was born a Belaerys. Her children's sharpness I cannot attest to, as I have only ever met them in passing here in the Senate."

"I'll keep an eye on them too." Oros nodded.
