Random Mott headcanon. I think post book 4 Mott felt bored without Jaron and missed him as he stayed in Belland.(Though he had Trea for company.) After all Jaron makes his life interesting and they both know it. He talked with Darius about Jaron and they became good friends soon enough because of that. I imagine their conversation was mostly Mott sharing everything Jaron went through and all the reckless things Jaron did in the past year before he reunited with Darius and Mott definitely said how much trouble Jaron gave him as Mott had to protect him from all he got himself into. (Plus Jaron argued regularly with Mott)
Meanwhile Darius probably told Mott, Jaronâs childhood stories that included several accidents Jaron had caused which the public don't know or knows but not the exact detail of it. (Jaron never shared because it's embarrassing to him.) Also he added how many times he had to defend his little brother back then.
I am sure the conversation went mostly like this:
Mott after hearing a childhood story from Darius: Jaron did what??đ˛đ¨
Darius after hearing from Mott about Jaron in the past three books: He did what??đ¨đ˛

For Jaronâs birthday here are a few Mott and Jaron scenes from my fics. ( Again all are from Jaronâs pov.)
This was from Mottâs birthday fic.
Next one is from an ongoing The Aftermath fic which is alternate TSC ending fic so it's just post TSC Jaron talking with Mott but these are my favorite scenes.
I love the joke of Mott being the King's ideal nursemaid in tst. đ¤Ł
This sounds angsty but I am sure Jaron was very tired of fighting throughout the books post TSC. đ
Okay here's a pillow fight scene of Mott catching Jaron, Roden, Tobias, Darius and Fink in a pillow fight from my old fic:
The pillow fight was in full swing when Mott and Harlowe burst in. Mottâs voice cut through the chaos. âWhat are you doing?â
Harlowe sighed as his gaze swept across the feather strewn room. Mott folded his arms and spoke sharply. âI could expect this from Fink, Roden, or Tobias, and I certainly expected this from Jaron. But Darius as well? You are nearly four years older than the three of these fools and much older than Fink. Why are you part of this?â
Darius caught his breath and pointed at me. âJaron started it.â
I grinned without remorse as Kerwyn appeared in the doorway and sighed heavily, as though remembering the days when Darius and I had done the same as children. âThis happened when they were young boys too. I am getting too old for this.â
My eyes flicked to the doorway where Amarinda stood, laughing breathlessly. âYou could have invited me. This looks fun.â
I bet Mott catches Jaron climbing roofs post series. So here is a portion of that scene from an old fic.
âJaron, how many times have I told you this?â Mottâs voice, stern and exasperated, echoed from a nearby turret.
âWho told you this time, Mott? Darius?â I called back, spotting his broad figure standing in the turret with his arms crossed and his expression caught somewhere between irritation and concern. My tone was light, though a playful edge lingered beneath it.
âI need to speak to Darius about keeping my secrets. He is not nearly as discreet about my habits as he was when we were children.â
Mott released a heavy sigh, the sort that suggested we had repeated this argument far too many times already. âI have known you for two and a half years, Jaron. That is long enough to understand your habits. When you were not in your room, I checked here. It is winter. You could catch a cold, even if it is not snowing.â

Okay that TRK scene where Mott runs telling you won't get me thief before Jaron even does anything to him. It's canon then Mott is not a good actor. 𤣠Would help in my fic idea of everyone doing a play to cheer up Jaron and messing up completely in it. ( I think Amarinda at least is improvising but it won't get fixed until Jaron joins them because I am sure the best actor award in the series goes to Jaron. )

Summary:
Mott sat to my right from where he observed the scene around us.
Finally, he looked at me and furrowed his brows. âI found the letter you wrote me and a gift in my room this morning. Why are we having a picnic today, Jaron?â
I grinned. âCan't you tell?â
He studied me for a moment, then slowly said. âI certainly can.â
