Lots of people want lots of people out of the picture. I was thinking, depending on just how much fear Garland has of the Red God, he might want Lyman back in the Westerlands, just to keep the Seven's peace. He may be an arrogant, trickster of a Lannister, but they always, always pay their debts. Marry Alerie off to Lyman, and suddenly, you have a very, very interesting scenario. Or, he might stay the fuck out of any plot, and just run things, as he always did. There will be letters written, by the way. [@Major Ursa], c'mon, come down to King's Landing? Worst that can happen is you get Ned Stark'd!
