The Swooping Peacock

[Gregor Corbray]

Proudly located near the center of the city on a rise overlooking the river.

[Gregor Corbray]

After navigating the numerous crisscrossing streets Gregor enters the Swooping Peacock and asks after Lord Redwyne.

[The Smith]

The barman looks at Gregor,"He is in his private dining room, may I ask who you be?"

[Gregor Corbray]

"I am Gregor Corbray, a messenger from Maester Lymon. I do not wish to interrupt Lord Redwyne's meal. I will wait until he is finished if that would please his lordship." Gregor said then looked for a chair to sit and wait in.

[The Smith]

The inn was full of empty chairs.

The innkeeper walked from the room.

[Gregor Corbray]

Gregor took a seat in the nearest chair then rubbed his hands together looking around the room as he waited to hear from the innkeeper.

[The Smith]

The Inn keeper came back and said, "He will see you in there."

[Gregor Corbray]

Gregor stood then straightened his tunic. It was one of the few that he possessed without ink stains. He followed the innkeeper to the private dining room. Taking a deep breath he exhaled and walked into the room.

[The Smith]

Lord Jonas sat at the table eating. He looked up at Gregor bored.

[Gregor Corbray]

"My apologies lord, I did not wish to disturb your meal." Gregor said apologetically with all sincerity. "Maester Lymon sent me on behalf of the Hand of the King. I am to arrange for the delivery of the eight crates of wine from the year of his majesty's birth. Lord Hightower feels this festival will be a fitting time to enjoy this special vintage." He finished then waited for Lord Redwyne's response.

[The Smith]

Jonas said, "Go on."

[Gregor Corbray]

Gregor nodded then spoke "I was told you have eight crates of this special vintage from the Arbor set aside for this auspicious occasion. The King will be most pleased to learn they are from the year of his birth." He smiled then paused a moment to clear his throat.

Gregor continued "His lordship wanted to ensure that they would be delivered in time for the festival. Are they already here with you in the city?" He asked expectantly then waited for Lord Redwyne's response

[The Smith]

Jonas leaned back, "They are not. Still back on Redwyne."

[Gregor Corbray]

Gregor thought for a moment before responding. Redwyne would have supported the Tyrells therefore Lord Redwyne would have no love for the King or for Lord Garnett. "Do you intend to have them delivered in time for the festival my lord?"

Gregor knew Lord Garnett would be displeased and his displeasure would extend to Gregor since Maester Lymon gave him the task of acquiring the crates of wine.

[The Smith]

Redwyne said, "Of course." He sipped his wine.
