[ Well, if Renly didn't know Stannis as family he might be afraid. ]
It was a peace offering. Did you not like it? I thought you could use it to relax a little.
[ He turns, smiling even brighter. It is so much fun to irritate and push his brother's nerves, it is true, and Renly enjoys it all the more for getting vengeance for his death. ]
It served only as one of your idiotic japes, did it not? Or, do you mean to say that there was some deeper meaning that I was not aware of?
[ Though truth be told, some of that question might very well be in earnest. For, he never did understand what that peach had truly meant, and perhaps he never would. ]
[ Renly just lifts his shoulder, offering a smile. ]
It was merely a peach, brother. Why is that such a shock to you? Can a man not offer another a peach without suspicion? What has our world fallen to, hm?

YOU ARE THE WORST LITTLE BROTHER EVER OK
I suppose this is your idea of a jest. Or do you have some deeper meaning behind this ludicrous gift?
[ It was almost as if they were back in King's Landing, on the Small Council again. As though these past three years had not truly happened.
But Stannis knew far better than that. ]
idk i think there have been worse

ok maybe euron or ramsay
Afraid of that horrible sound that is Stannis grinding his teeth harder than ever. ]
It says that it is peach flavoured.
[ The same as their parlay. There had not been a day that had gone by where he did not think of that seven-damned peach. ]
are you saying that renly MIGHT be worse than ramsay
It is. What a coincidence indeed. That is the fruit I offered you at our meeting, is it not? Curious.
[ He lifts his hand to his chin to rub at his beard, absently. ]
if the drink's poisoned then they're on almost the same level
[ Which was perhaps more than he should have divulged, but when one is speaking to a dead man, one may do queer things. ]
What was your meaning behind it, brother? Do you mean to insult me, as you once did?
[ Or is there something else? ]
who said anything about poison you're paranoid
[ He stands, lifting himself up and watching his brother with a half-smile and tilted head. ]
Was the peach so foul to your palette?
