Matos

Medusa looks at Brandon Stark kindly as the newly elected king turns to her. Jon, or Aegon standing with his cousins."Queen Medusa, King Jaqen." Jaqen nods his head lightly, allowing him to speak. "Am I correct to assume that Prince Oberyn Martell and his family as well as House Tyrell will stay on Matos indefinitely?" The royal couple chuckles, Medusa wrapping an arm around Oberyn who grins, while Jaqen places a kiss on Lady Olennas hand. "We wouldn't want to miss them. Their families have already become one with ours.", Medusa says calmly, gesturing towards Eden, sleeping in the Prince's arms and towards Avalon, smiling happily in Olennas lap. "Do you forsake claim on your old reaches then?" Olenna and Oberyn exchange a glance before Oberyn answers. "Dorne hasn't been my home since my sister perished. And now that my brother has died it would never be home again. Manage over sunspear however you desire. I believe I speak for myself and Lady Olenna when I say that myself and my family have already found a better home in Matos at the royal court of King and Queen H'gar." "My granddaughter and grandson died in that city." Olenna gestures towards the ruin city. "And though Willas is strong minded and quick witted, he has finally begun healing from his injuries. All thanks to these two people here. And I.. believe I am far better off with them than I would ever be in Westeros. When we first arrived in Matos Queen Medusa greeted us with these words. 'Welcome to the only garden where flowers still bloom'." The old woman smiles. "Grow stronger we will. However.. not here. Take Highgarden and let us be done with it."
"I would like to suggest a trading contract between Westeros and the island of Matos.", Bran says, making Medusa smile and Jaquen grin. It was as if everything were set back to zero. Just better. "And Matos is not completely uninterested. We shall meet again for the terms and conditions. However.." She turns towards the dark haired man still lingering beside his sister's. "Aegon... What will you do?" He blinks, surprised at her addressing him. Mostly not used to being called by the name of Aegon. "What can I do? I'll go north, I guess. Beyond the wall." "Or.. you can come with us." The offer from the serpent queen surprises everyone aside from her family. "Pardon me but.." "Aegon Targaryen. As your uncles friend and secret keeper I offer you a place at my families court in Matos.", she says gently. "And Arya Stark.. as the man who trained this girl to become faceless herself I, Jaqen H'gar, king of Matos forward the same invitation to you. We will leave rather sooner than later. Our court is rather busy and we wouldn't want to burden our nieces or Willas and Ellaria too much with holding it for us so your time to make a decision is brief. However.. you of course may feel free to follow after us." Aegon Targaryen glances at his 'sisters' before bowing his head. "If you would take me I'd be glad to spend time with the woman the man who raised me regarded as his most trusted friend." Nodding her head Medusa smiles as he walks over to her, taking her hands into his and kissing them lightly. "I've seen Braavos and I've seen most of Westeros. Both have little to offer for me. Perhaps Matos can give me what I am looking for." Arya Stark joins him, giving Jaqen a cheeky grin, earning a light smile back, the man picking up his son again while Medusa gently takes Eden from Oberyns arms. The man looks at Aegon for a couple of moments before he pats his back. "Welcome to the family. It is ever growing and rather chaotic. I am sure you too will feel right at home in no time."

The friendly interaction coming from Oberyn makes Medusa feel like a proud sister, watching her older but socially crippled brother interact with others. Aegons birth was the ending to the series of events that lead to his sister and her children getting killed. However Medusa was proud to see him understand that children can not bear their children's faults.
"Let us leave then. I promised Obara and Nymeria some more spear training.", Medusa smiles and Oberyn laughs. "And I promised Willas to help him train some of the eagles we keep." Olenna chuckles. "Of course. Nothing but birds on his mind."

The two newcomers join the group in their retreat, Arya quickly getting closer to Medusa. "Can I join the training?", she asks, her eyes wide with awe. Medusa smiles. Her green eyes lighting up. "Certainly. I don't doubt the girls will love you." Neither do I.", Oberyn smiles. "Aegon. Would you like to join me on a joyride around the island?" The man raises his eyebrows at Oberyn. "Not to fear. There are no brothels on Matos. Most people have joined armed forces since we pay them well for undergoing training and there is better work available. You don't have to look at him like that. He's being genuine. You'll find out soon enough what he looks like when he's messing with you.", Jaqen tells Aegon who looks a bit nervous for getting caught while Oberyn laughs. "The only other people besides my paramour I would be interested in are walking right here.. there most definitely is nothing for you to worry about.", Oberyn says, gesturing to the royal couple who in perfect synchronised motion lightly swat his arms, making the prince laugh.
All of them laugh and finally they set sail. The gigantic fleet of ships around them as they set course onto Matos.
