Um, since I don't have a clear idea on his wife, I'm not sure what to say. I DO NOT have at as Ariana, but I didn't have a person quite in mind since her identity wasn't all that important right now. I could use a version of Ser if I needed to, but enough different that it wouldn't point back to obviousness. But he and his wife were very close when he left like a dick. I actually don't see her being as bitter as her son. Very sad yeah, and she'll be mad as hell when she seems him again, but I think she'll end up hugging him and crying or something. I don't want it to be a complete angst-fest...

Also, keep in mind this Vanni is from a year after Red defeated him. It's AT/AU, so...
I would like to keep the mother alive, and as I was thinking about it, I think it would be interesting if perhaps she had been barely pregnant when he left. So, Silver's got a baby sister :)
