What was Kevan doing with Garlan????

[Charming Serpent]

Just an idle thought ... What was Kevan doing with Garlan during Tommens marriage in the back of the room?? Cersei notes him speaking heatedly or passionately (cant remember the exact wording) and wonders if he is with the Tyrells. Question then remains, is Kevan conspiring about something we dont know with the Tyrells to possibly remove Cersei or even something greater?

Well we know Kevan has no love for Cersei nor has the Tyrells, so i think something tricksy is going on, but what i dont know, i let BOaz come with the wild theories

Ok, found the entry: "The queen finally found him (Kevan) in a corner, talking intently with Mace Tyrell's son Garlan." She then wonders what would they have to talk about and how she doesn't trust Garlan just because his name is the gallant.

CS, I recently read Tommen's wedding as well. I noted Cersei's observation...

Kevan and Garlan have a number of commonalities. Both are younger sons of mighty houses. Both are loyal to their houses. Neither will inherit their father's lands and titles, but that has not stopped either from making good lives for themselves. Both have proven themselves as battle commanders and counselors.

Yet, both seem to have a great love of country and a deep desire to see it healthy and whole. Neither are so blinded by house fidelity that it prevents them from serving the kingdom. Both congratulated Tyrion on his foresight and bravery... in fact, they are the only two to do so.

Mayhaps Kevan sees in Garlan a man of character, a man of patience, a man of justice... i.e. a younger version of himself. Mayhaps Kevan sees a potential ally.

Yet, I don't think that either would plot openly against Cersei while she is watching. I think they were discussing the war. They probably talked of the Lannister-Tyrell victory over Stannis and the coming fights at Storm's End, Riverrun, and against the Riverlands' bandits.

If Olenna, Mace, and Loras were to die, then I think a Kevan, Daven, Jaime, Willas, Garlan, Margaery, and Tommen alliance could be a formidable front that would concern itself with the actual welfare of the realm. None of the members are great players, yet united they might prove strong enough to preserve an Andalish kingdom that could resist Littlefinger, Stannis, Euron, Arianne, and Dany.
