After being requested by her brother, Robyn goes to see his wife so they can get to know one another better and maybe even start towards being friends.
It's late afternoon, just starting to get cooler.

Cassana is lounging next to a pool, enjoying the sun's rays. She smiles at the princess. "Robyn! I hope you've been having fun!"

"Yes." Robyn said smiling back at Cassana, "Lots, it's so interesting to see a new place like this for more than just a couple of days. Are you enjoying being home?"

"Oh, yes," she said. "But it feels different now, you know?" She shakes her head. "It is also a bit more boring since all the recent excitement has occurred. Not a bad thing all told."

"Boring is safer at least" Robyn partially agreed and moved to sit down near her. "I can see why your city is one of the great wonders of this world... your old city."
Robyn paused for a second, bonding was not her strong suit, "How are you finding marriage?"

"It is odd," she confesses. "It is...my duty, you know, but it has its charms too. Benjen is a good man and you have all been wonderful to me." She turns to face her more fully. "It hasn't been boring at all," she laughed.

"you're duty?" robyn asked, raising an eyebrow she was fairly sure Cassana told her that she was marrying Benjen because Meereen was on a slow march to it's own destruction... as it was going to starve to death. So either her duty was to herself or she'd lied.
Robyn kept smiling... be nice, she reminded herself. 'I suppose so. At least you got to choose for yourself, most in our situation do not," Robyn said trying to sound kind. "There is that, life in the north will never be dull in all likelihood. If there is one thing westeros likes doing, is keeping you busy."

"My duty as a woman," she explained. "Or...hell I don't know. I keep hoping somewhere in the world will be some measure of peace. War grates on your soul after a while you know? I've trained to fight my whole life, but sometimes I want to drop the spear and grab a glass of wine, I guess."

"Why not do both?" She asked, "Trust me if the north will teach you nothing, it's that the only thing we fo better than fight, is drink ourselves into varying stupors."
She looked sideways at Cassana, "have you never been drunk before?"

Cassava shrugged. "Not really. I have two or three glasses then I just get sleepy," she admits sheepishly. "It is a bit embarrassing."

"Not at all," she said and grinned, "Just something we should remedy" Robyn stood and offered her hand, "Come on, we're going to get smashed."

Cassana takes the hand. "Oh...okay then." She squints. "You drink a lot, don't you?"

'only when the occasion calls for it" she said, and smiled pulling her good sister to her feet, "which is recent years has been a fair amount, and someone not drinking is definitely a cause to drink."
She pulled cassana out the door and towards some steps downwards, "We won't go mad, seeing as you're new to this"

"At least let me change from my swim clothes!" She laughed. "I can't show off my body to the whole damn city!"

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind, but if you like," Robyn said, letting go of her. "you're brother isn't going to, you know, banish me forever for this is he?"
