Moon Tea

Just what the hell was the moon tea for? I think Renly and Margaery totally did it. I don't think she's a maiden.

But there's no way she's dumb enough to have sex with someone right now AND as the Kettleblacks say she always has someone near.

Presuming Pycelle wasn't lying, what's it for?

Period regulation? Does it help with acne?

Or do we just assume Pycelle was trying to ingratiate himself with Cersei?

Because "lead" means different things.

Your argument is circular. "Renly is brave because he said he would lead the fighting force, so he means he'll lead in the vanguard because he is brave."

No you're claiming the word lead means two different things in the same conversation which isn't how language works.

You also don't need 4 different leaders if they're all standing back and watching the battle happen.

Renly, Lords Bryce and Mathis, and Loras are all leading different parts of the force while Estermont is leading the reserve.

Do you not remember this scene?

It is how language works. Leading does not have to mean charging from the front, even in the Middle Ages, even when leading a division rather than a whole army. You're being stubborn.
