Giles is their castellan, he counts. He has the favour of the servants as well, it would serve to have him partial to hearing us should we ask him regarding matters of the manor.
As for Tim — a token to remind him of his faith, I would think. He hews close and dearly to his god. It would do him well to have something material to hold for it.
All the more reason to put in the effort, wouldn't you say? Imagine the respect it would bring, to be able to say we have Giles's favour in true, however conditional it may be.
And I should leave Tim's gift while he's not around, then.
[ people crying — that's not something aemond knows how to deal with at all. ]
Tim values memories, does he not? Perhaps something that aids in that way? We are made up of our memories, in truth. Comfort is the wheelhouse of gifts, too.
Mother would appreciate sincerity over the gift itself. She is fond of you, she will like whatever it is you choose if you choose it truly. As for Aegon; something he might find pleasure in. It needn't be drink. He likes to be praised, my brother.
That might be a good plan, yes. I'll keep watching him -- and the Balfours. Maybe it'll do SOME good.
Yes, you should, though I don't know if you'll be able to escape it forever. He'll find a way to show you his gratitude.
Thank you, that's all helpful. [He's taking exhaustive notes, yes.] I've never done this before, given anyone gifts, much less this many people. I want everything to be perfect, especially after the months we've had, recently.
Me? Nothing. I mean I'll like anything. It's all new to me, it's just nice knowing people were thinking about me.

No, we can't. I have you, Aegon and Alicent for your family, then Tim and Hawk, of course -- we probably overlap somewhere else, too.
What did you get Tim?

Would that be too personal?

No, I think that's a wonderful gift. You might make him cry.
All my ideas are book related, but something to keep him warm, maybe. Remind him of his home. Of the people he cares about here. I don't know.
I don't want to do too much, though, you know? [He said like a lying liar who lies.] What would Alicent and Aegon want? You know them best.

What of you? What would you like?
