The men nod. They'd never put a Flint in service to a man whose people hunted Clansman for sport, but they didn't feel need to mention it.
"We thank you for the offer," Tormund said. "Have yourself a good day."

Ser Waymar Corbray and Ser Tomas Corbray are practicing with each other. The older Waymar is scowling at the young Tomas muttering under his breath as Tomas laughs casually.

Ser Eldon Grandison, the Heir to Grandview and his cousin Ser Erron Gower arrive in the Courtyard to spar.
Ser Eldon flexed and swung his arms about as he walked in, clearly feeling a bit rusty due to his recent lack of practice.

Tomas walked over to the two men with a large wine skin, "Hello Ser Knights? Care for a drink or would you rather hit my cousin around a bit."

The younger knight, Ser Erron Gower nodded his greeting and stuck out his hand with a broad smile.
"Well met Ser Knight. Ser Erron Gower at your service. I think we could manage both. How about....."
He paused and cocked his head quizzically to one side, as if thinking of a proposal, before giving another broad smile,
"How 'bout, I'll have a drink with you and we can both watch the battle of the cousins for entertainment! Your cousin against mine.
"What do you think Eldon?" he asked, turning to his companion.
Eldon had been studying Tomas, but at the question his eyes moved to Erron. He allowed a small smile to flit across his lips.
"Why not? I get tired of beating you all the time anyway."
He shifted his gaze back to Tomas. "I am Ser Eldon Grandison of the Stormlands. Who would I have the pleasure of addressing?"

Tomas bowed perfectly with quite a bit of a florish, "I am Ser Tomas Corbray heir to Hearts Home if the Gods would take my older brother from this world. But of course the pleasure is mine in meeting such gallant knights."
Waymar grunts at his cousins words, "Ser Waymar Corbray. Honoured." He bows his head then moves back to practice while the nobles bantered with words.

"Corbray." mused Eldon. "From the Vale then." he said as more of a statement than a question.

"Yes I am. It was such a beautiful place to grow up. So your houses are from the Stormlands."

Ser Erron nodded quickly.
"I serve my uncle Lord Edwyn at Grandison in the Dornish Marches. But my family's lands lie in the southern Rainwood, close to the isle of Estermont."

"Proud lands I would think. So you recently lost your Lord Paramount a truly horrible thing. Then there is also Lord Rhodri at the ancient seat of Storm's End."

For a moment both Stormlanders said nothing. A muscle pulsed in Ser Eldon's cheek as his teeth clenched.
"Yes." the older knight replied finally. "Most unfortunate."

"Oh now is that anger at the killing or Lord Rhodri?"

Erron went to speak, but Ser Eldon held up his hand.
"Lord Dondarrion's murder was a heinous crime. All Stormlanders hope that the perpetrators are caught and in turn suffer the maximum penalty."

"Yes is it not the most trust worthy thing that we have a strong legal system to punish traitors of the realm."

Eldon grimaced. "Let us hope so Ser Tomas. However they have to be caught first."
