"I haven't seen nor heard from Balon since Highgarden. He was to travel north, to the Riverlands for a while but more than that I don't know. He's like the wind, my brother. Try to tie him down and he follows his own way. That or an angry arse." He chuckled, Daeron would know Balon well enough to agree.
"It's a sad thing but our family seem no longer wanted at Gyldenhaal. My mother and our youngest brother, Vortimer, has joined me at Starpike. With my father's death it seem we where no longer wanted." The details on mother's exile need not be touched upon. "But Vortimer has taken service as Ser Horas Redwyne's squire so there might be knight of him yet." He looks proud of his brother, who after all had won the Squire's Joust at Highgarden, yet the spark of brotherly competition is clearly there, something Daeron might relate to.
"Our sister... our dear sister. Where does one begin? You know she more or less told Lord Eldon Merryweather to go stuff himself?" He can't help but laugh, and beams with pride at the idea of it, how dangerous it might actually have been.

He joins Titus in laughing.
“That sounds like Balon. That man is a tempest and about as easy to tame and leaves an equally impressive wake.”
He gives a sympathetic smile at his mention of his family’s de facto exile from their home.
“I am sorry to hear of your kin being sent away, Lord Jon only weakens his house by casting aside so much talent and courage. Few lords are capable of standing up to Lord Eldon and for your sister to do so is impressive. Her enmity will make her many friends at Kingsbridge should she ever visit. There is little love lost between Houses Starling and Merryweather.”
His grin at Delia’s antics is hard to read. Either her actions against a hated enemy impressed him, or that and he’s interested in adding her to the long list of women he’s interested in courting.

He shrugs, not wanting to say too much of Lord Jon's rule. "We'll endure. Starpike is our home now and my cousin have been more than good to us."
Noticing Wildfyre's grin he smiles with a raised eyebrow. "She is... strong willed, I believe is the right way to say it. Poor Ser Preston will have little say in wether they'll wed or not. When she sets her mind to something it tends to happen one way or another. She's much like Balon in that way." Or mother.
"Lord Eldon is a blight upon the realm. He openly mock chivalry and knighthood yet sees no true justice. A beast like him acting with such impunity truly speaks of the state of our realm."

Daeron's gaze returns to its characteristic intensity as they discuss Lord Eldon more.
"A storm is coming, one that will wash away the filth and corruption that plagues our kingdoms and I don't see Lord Piggy and his ilk surviving that reckoning. Not if I can help it at least. He might have survived Abelar's attempt to remove him from power, but the man lacks the caution and humility to not continue making enemies and soon neither his wealth nor power will keep him safe."
I've got nothing more specific for us. /scene

"Pray someone will put and end to his arrogance. Soon."
The two carry on drinking for quite some time. Much like Titus and his brother Balon, the two men where oh so different in oh so many aspects, but there was no enmity between the two... quite the opposite.
Once the Tribunal was to reach it's conclusion he would return to Starpike and report to his liege of the rumours regarding Master Harrot. The sooner Lord Gormon knew of the threat the might possess, the better.
