The next day after the small folks rioted outside of the Great Sept, Aemma had been up all night thinking about the riot and all the ways it could've been prevented.

At some point in the night Aegon had awoken for his one hour out of the ten that he sleeps, seeing the troubled look on her face as she told him the events of the riot, leaving the two siblings to discuss how they could mend this.

That discussion leading through the late hours of the night and up to now where all the people on the council had been called to an immediate Small Council meeting by order of their Queen.

Everyone was already waiting in their seats for Aemma to arrive, the doors to the council pulling open to reveal two figures standing arm in arm by the door as all the memebers on the council but Aemond raised from their seats.

"What is she doing here?", Aemond harshly asked, holding back his anger as his eyes were stuck on the sight of his mother and Aemma waltzing into the room with their arms linked together.

"Attending the meeting", Aemma said it as if Aemond were stupid as to not knowing why their mother was attending todays Small Council.

Trying to hold his anger back Aemond slapped his hands onto the table as he stiffly raised up from his seat, standing up as he looked between both Aemma and Alicent, trying to see what game they were playing at.

"I know you haven't been at the last few Small Council meetings as of late, My Queen, but the Queen Dowager has been dismissed of her seat at this council", Aemond snarked to his twin, rounding the table in anger as he moved to meet Aemma.

Invading her personal space as he bent down to  meet her level, their noses almost touching at his closeness, trying to intimidate her.

"I have called this council meeting and I want her here", Aemma snipped back to him, holding her head high as she walked past him and around to the top of the table.

Feeling powerful enough as she then stopped at the head of the table before sitting herself down in the Kings seat, seeing Aemond open his mouth in protest as she raised her hand to showcase to the council the Kings marble ball that Aegon had placed in her hands last night.

Aemonds mouth closing as he huffed, moving back around the table as he stared daggers at Aemma as he then went to sit in her usual seat on the left.

"Mother, would you be so kind as to sit beside me today?", Aemma then called to Alicent just as Aemond pulled out the chair, making a show of placing the marble ball in the placemat, letting it clink down against it into place.
