That's just how family is. Sometimes it's hard to live with them, but you can't really live without them.

[Except she's been doing a pretty decent job of living without them for the past year or so.]

He's smart and funny. Effortlessly charming and really good at talking his way out of trouble, which is probably a good thing because he's also really good at getting into it. He always knew what to say when our mother was being a nightmare.

[ like aegon, then. troublesome as much as he is winsome, clever and charming but putting his talents to frivolous pursuits. the struggle of having brothers, aemond thinks. ]

Perhaps you should leash your brother for a time. Keep him still that way, so that he might not hurt himself along the way. My brother Aegon is about the same, though I do not think he and your brother would share many interests.

He has fondness for drink, our Aegon.

I wonder how effective that actually is for keeping people out of trouble.

[It's probably not his intention, but she's immediately reminded of spotting the occasional parent with a young child wearing a leash backpack at the mall, and the sheer randomness of the memory makes her smile.]

Bobby liked playing video games and watching horror movies. I'm not sure if your brother would enjoy either of those things. We used to go bowling too, sometimes.

A leash? It works well enough, if the leash is made well for its wearer. Some work best with a cage, some with a leash — it takes some cleverness to know which one best suits a man.

Or a young child, I suppose.

...What is bowling?

[bubblegumheart]

I'll keep that in mind. I used to babysit a kid whose parents insisted that the only way to get him to behave in public was making him wear a backpack leash, and I guess it worked well enough for them but I never actually needed it.

[Then again, she only saw him for a handful of hours at a time, a couple of times a week.]

Bowling is when you take turns rolling a heavy ball down a lane to see how many pins you can knock down each time. There are ten pins and you usually get two rolls per turn.
