"Aegon..." Alicent hissed as Cassie, Peter, Rocket and Groot sat around the table. "No, send them away."

"I would but I don't want to." Aegon corrected taking a seat.

"Aegon this is important-' Alicent began. 

"Hey lady, I put my good pants. I know how to be presentable." Rocket spat back. 

"I am Groot."

"You dont need pants." Rocket countered. 

"I am Groot." 

"We could get you pants." Cassie agreed. 

"I am Groot."

"YOu are welcome." Cassie remarked as Aegon poured her a glass of wine. "Gotta get a bottle of this for the flight home." Cassie said taking a long sip. 

Viserys was carried in on his throne delivered to the table, his family rose out of respect as he was sat down again before them at the head of the table.

"Get up." Peter instructed following suit. Rocket groaned as he got up. 

''How good it is... to see you all tonight... together.'' Viserys said looking around at all this children and grandchildren. "And some new friends..." 

"Your grace, this is Cassie and Peter Quill." Aegon began. "And Rocket, the tall... creature is Groot."

"I am Groot." He agreed. 

"I am Daemon." Daemon mocked. 

"I am Groot." Groot repeated gruffly and Cassie bit her lip to keep from cackling with laughter. 

"Friends... Aegon you have such unique friends... is that a raccoon?" Viserys questioned thinking he was hallucinating. Cassie snapped an arm out keeping Rocket in his chair before he could attack the king. 

"He doesnt like to be called that." Aegon remarked confidently and Cassie smiled back at him. Rocket grumbled as he started eating his food.

''Prayer before we begin?'' Alicent offered clearing her throat as she looked at Rocket but he stared back at her as he took another bite. He wiped his paws on the table cloth and climbed on the table to reach the seared chicken at the other side of the table. 

''Yes.'' Viserys agreed as they held hands. Jace looked to Groot as he held out his tree rooted hand to him. 

"I am groot." He told jace. Jace looked at Cassie for translation.

"He said he doesnt bite, the termites that we found were chopped off on the last planet." Cassie remarked casually. 

"Right." Jace agreed awkwardly grabbing Groots hand.

''May the Mother smile down on this gathering with love. May the Smith mend the bonds that have been broken for far too long. May our new... friends make their way home quickly. And to Vaemond Velaryon, may the gods give him rest." Alicent said clearly before looking up at Daemon.

"Oh our new bestie wants us gone Cas." Rocket remarked his head tilted to the side as he looked across the table at Alicent. 

"Thank you got having us is what Rocket meant to say." Peter corrected.

"No its not." Cassie and Rocket corrected simultaneously. 

''This is an occasion for celebration, it seems. My grandsons, Jace and Luke, will marry their cousins, Baela and Rhaena, further strengthening the bond between our houses. A toast to the young Princes... and their betrothed". Viserys declared

''Hear, hear!''

"Cousins." Peter repeated. 

"Fucked up." Cassie murmured taking another sip.
