    He was to talk to Queen Lorina. Strider paced a little as he waited for her, brown eyes cast down. He loved Westeros with all his heart, and seeing it torn apart like this was the worst. What would Eurydice have done? The Lannister shook his head. He disagreed, somewhat, with the queen's new orders- they were out of the blue and too controlling. It was as if the government held full powe over the people and there was nothing they could do about it without starting a rebellion (which they had doen), but he also disagreed with rebellion. Agh, it was all so hard. He swished his tail jerkily side-to-side as he thought, soft pawsteps making no sound on the floor.

    "Strider, thank you for meeting with me. I would offer you a meal, but I'm afraid I don't trust anything from the stockpile," she said with a wry grin. She'd averted one attempted poisoning already; she wasn't eager for a repeat performance.

    Strider glanced upwards and bowed respectfully as Lorina came in. He grinned a bit at her joke. He never really fully grinned, it was always a small smile or a quick smirk. Nothing was out of the ordinary here... Yet. "I can see why you'd be suspicious," The former heir replied, tail still twitching with anxiety, "The rebels rose very quickly. I wouldn't trust it either."

    "I don't understand how the movement gained such support, to be honest. Nobody objected when lands were switched over from the Starks to the Flameseekers. I don't- I don't usually go out of my way to pursue... justice, equality, those lofty goals that people always tell us are so important. I wanted to do something right, for its own sake. Just once," she said, grinning again, as though that could mask the pain of her words. "I wanted to let everyone be judged on their own merit. That's it."

    She made it sound very understandable, the Knight had to give her that. It was a ruler's duty to promote justice and equality, but this didn't quite seem to be that. "I understand- you've proven yourself a great leader, but just the fact that you took away the Houses- the very things that made Westeros and helped it thrive and made it different- caused the most unrest. It's kind of hard to simply take the fact that your house no longer matters unless it happens to be the one in control." Strider kept a calm face, eyes staring up at the dragoness with a plea to consider. The most hurtful part to him was the house demotions as well.

    "But that isn't what happened. I did not dissolve the houses, but, rather, set the foundations for their land to be divided more equitably. In fact, it benefits the largest houses a great deal- we could have two Wardens from the same house now, for example. I had intended to announce the first Lords and Ladies that meeting, in fact, but, you know, a member of the family declaring secession from the nation does tend to derail things, doesn't it?" she shook her head, aggravated. "My stepfather is a good ruler, but he is blinded by his anger and greed for power. Frankly, I had thought that demoting him was a mere formality- setting an equal starting point for all potential Wardens. I had expected to name him Lord of Dorne today, and reinstate him as a warden at the next meeting. Now my people are turning on each other, because he chose to take his discontent and make of it a war." She shook her head sadly.

    "Everyone was a bit hurried, I believe some have just been looking for a reaso to try and take you down," Strider spoke, thinking back on how even he had been a bit nervous about Lorina taking Eurydice's place. "I think what you're doing is definitely a big change, something everyone just needs to get used to. I'm still not fond of the Houses being taken out of the official status, but I can see what you're trying to do with this. I think." He paused here. Oberyn was a good man and a great leader, and Strider wouldn't hesitate to follow him, but everything had been so rushed. "I do know, however, that war is comig whether we can reason with the sides or not, so we'd best prepare for a rocky future."
