[Phase 2] Blood of the Dragon [Aerion]

"Well, I cannot deny that I am very excited to see what the man that bested The Warrior himself might do against a mere mortal" She glides in and studies his muscles approvingly, obviously welcome. "I'm not particularly skilled at relieving that particular sort of tension" Her tone and face suggests that she is quite adept at other kinds, the methods a young man might easily imagine her to allude to would be exhausting. Perhaps best suited the night before or after. Some knights believed such things were detrimental to one's performance on the field the day after, and it was not a subject any maester had cared to write a tome of, for surely Butterbumps would have ensured that everyone knew of it's conclusions if so. "But it leaves me askance, should you prevail in the final as the gamblers believe, does the crown of gold and pearls truly suit her dark curls and eyes? Does not a crown better suit the silvery sheen of those who were born to rule above all." Mya preens on her tip-toes, as a six year-old imagining herself as a princess proudly wearing a crown which her parents would complement it's splendor. In so doing, her gown clings to her form, if Aerion's mother had been like most other ladies, she might have tried to steer his attention to some other lady, too skinny for a mother's taste, but there is a graceful elegance to her long limbs and slender neck that makes up for her lack of other endowments. She seems more interested in enjoying herself doing the pose than coming onto him, but if she minds him staring, Arion has grossly misunderstood her on that action.

Status Breeding vs her ID (13 not 15 in this case), gain +1b to be used once where you like (an additional +1b on 3 DoS, both can be spent at once or separately)
Also, you get chivalry bonuses, so your ID is 12 and your composure 11. +2 to influence tests.
ID: 15
DR: 3
Composure: 12
Convince: 7d6k4+2 17 Which is 2 DoS, for 2*4-3=5 composure dealt.

"Do we insult the sheep when leading them into the dragonpit to become today's supper?" Mya reacts as if challenged to a duel of one-upping one anther with words. "Our father was a great many things, but when he wanted mutton, his lords willingly served, as if it was a great honor. Is Butterbumps the only one who ever reads books at Highgarden? We're exceptional, you know, so wrote The High Septon himself back in the old king's day. He put it far more eloquently of course, but I like my shorthand, Dragons can do whatever fuck they want."

Her passive will (Deception) is 16, 2 DoS lowers her DR by 1, switching to new rules gives her +1 passive results, composure and ID, instead of +2 ID.
ID: 14
DR: 2
Composure: 13
Convince: 7d6k4+2 21 vs anointed should be 1*4-3=1.

"To etch yourself in the memories of the tourney as the champion who spurned Lady Aemma, in favor of a sister, to be living proof that dragons are fickle beasts that defy the rules and conventions of the sheep." Mya smiles wickedly. "Besides, they are going to have a feast seating the Queen of Love and Beauty right next to her champion, now imagine how much more fun that is going to be with me by your side than her? She's hardly even a woman grown yet, shy, proper and not quite knowing what to do with oneself and thus keeping quiet makes for dreadful company, would you not say so?"

"Nobody can quite remember Lord Durwell defeating Ser Daemon at Highgarden, what they remember is how he refused to crown a Queen at all! Everyone will have an opinion, did I fuck your brains out they might be thinking? Did he plan to do this all along? Did he and Lady Aemma have a falling out? For a Great Bastard to be boring is the greatest crime of all!"

ID: 14
DR: 2
Composure: 13
Convince: 7d6k4+2 19 Is 2*4-3=5

She seems to consider that last suggestion for a moment, but it appears it's not enough to make her find it agreeable, maybe later, who can ever know with this one? "Do you have a set of tiles in here? If you can't last long enough, I'm sure we could go again"

So how manipulate works:
Change the technique into what would get her the promise of a crown in whatever way most benefits you.
-Charm is only valid if the disposition change (+2) would be enough to make him agree to it because he likes her, but that's worse than convince since she'd get +1D on the next intrigue.
-Seduce is a stronger candidate, because the disposition change is then +5, 4 of those being temporary, meaning friendly most likely (but that would require this to be high enough disposition from Aerion to let her have her desire), and since the result of her defeating Aerion with that is for him to give in to her advances....not available with most NPC's though.
-Bargain always works, as that basically gets her what she wants in exchange for something he wants(of lesser value).

As for yield, maybe just the disposition, she's not that easy to get under the skirts of (for the moment anyway), and that other part would practically force Aerion to ride with her favor (or at least nobody else's) at every opportunity where he might crown her until he does, or be back to the problem of riding with someone else's favor and then crown Mya instead should he win the whole thing.

"If that is so..then I'll claim prerogative of lady's first" Mya proves surprisingly flexible in retrieving the set.

Cunning for playing tiles: 4d6 12 So that's what Aerion needs to beat to win that game.
Unless he's distracted by the sexy: 7d6r1k4+2 18 whatever penalties that attempt at simple intrigue might inflict on him.

Yield works for her.

Aerion does manage to keep up with Mya for long enough that the rematch will have to wait, maybe he could come visit Raventree? That place is so utterly boring if she can't entertain visitors that she'll have plenty to do, would put sister Gwenys at ease, for she does worry her pretty head about what Mya is up to when bored. Since it usually involves pranks on her siblings, all in good sport of course, maybe she is right. But Gwenys also needs to loosen up a little and take it in good spirits...like retaliating.
