Cae is definitely not curled up on a couch wearing Cas' shirt, again. Taking an accidental nap.
And then he flips the couch. "WAKE UP, CAE."
Caelan has totally stolen one of Cas' shirts and is just lounging around the lair reading in one of the beanbags, wearing his shirt over the dress she was wearing.
He doesn't even care, at this point he's pretty sure Russell and Irene have one of his shirts.
Now that everyone had returned to their homes from Dorne, Alestor set about his work with much more fervor. He had been looking over maps of both the Crownlands and the Stormlands, they each had their own unique strengths, and their own weaknesses. Strengths and weaknesses that Alestor believed complimented one another. The Crownlands was one large port, gold and fine goods passed hands every few minutes. It however, was not incredibly fertile, the Rosby and Stokeworth lands did what they could but they could never feed a whole kingdom. The Stormlands has forests, and fields, but no major ports, and a tiny population compared to the Crownlands. Bringing the two kingdoms together solved their problems.
If they could begin to bring Crowlanders into the Stormlands, and give them the resources needed to establish farms, while it would take time, it would mean they would take strains off of other areas. Alestor also wanted to begin looking into establishing a major port in the Stormlands, while their coast line was hazardous there had to be at least one spot that they could use to their advantage. If he had to Alestor was willing to finance the expenditures with resources from his house, at least to help the beginning of these projects.
He had drawn everything up, and was now heading into the Queen’s solar, smile on his face. “Your grace, I’ve had theoretical breakthroughs in my work. I think I am working towards a solution to help increase resource development. I have a few other ideas not written down that I thought best to share with you first.”

Alestor was a fighter, skilled in combat, but he was also incredibly detail oriented. It was a trait he had inherited from his father. He installed in Alestor his frugal nature, a lord who spends all his gold is a lord with no gold Bartimos had taught him. It was a lesson he took quite seriously, and it was what he applied to his role as Master of Coin for Cae. Since King’s Landing had been rebuilt, and the bringing of the Stormlands into her direct domain their coffers were up. Things looked more hopeful, of course that did not mean things were at were they once were, and that would take far more work. Smiling as he walked into his working breakfast with his queen,
“Your Grace, I have good news. I can finally report that with life coming back to King’s Landing, we’re bringing in a small profit, nothing like we used to have, but, at this point all progress is good progress. I recommend we begin to economically develop the Stormlands, there is real potential there I believe.”

[Card] Sending birthday wishes from afar! Hurry up and get your ass out here for a visit because we’re well overdue a catch-up. In case you’ve forgotten, my birthday is August 26th so that gives you plenty of time to organize an amazing present for me (was my hinting obvious enough??).
Love (now and always),
Asher and Cae
[Card attached to presents]: Hey birthday girl! Missing your face more than usual today so hopefully you’ll come and visit soon. Until then, I’ll just have to settle for our weekly FaceTime. Cae gets the credit for the beautiful painting BUT I get all the credit for picking out the dresses... okay, maybe not all the credit because Cae was with me when I picked them but I definitely deserve most of the credit. Just remember that I’m your favourite. Love, Asher (and Cae) xx
