Vardis is brought up by a guard. He looks around at the stonework, and approaches the big wooden door to the Steward's Office. He ponders a moment about knocking, but decides to take the liberty of heading right in.

Lymon is sitting at his desk sewing up a pair of Maester robes. With out looking up he says, "Yes?"

"I'm Vardis Blackwood, kind of a big deal. I'm supposed to be fostered here."

Lymon laughed, and asked "Who told you that?"

Vardis stops and thinks for a minute. "We-.... Well, I suppose nobody but my father, Lord Blackwood. He did tell you I was coming, didn't he?" He gets caught up in the naivety of youth for a few moments. "That would figure, damn Lord Father didn't care much for me anyway. Figures he would forget."

"Oh he told me. Welcome to the Hightower." Lymon replied.

Vardis' face contorts, and he realizes the Maester was fooling with him. "Oh. Right. This place is huge. You must have a ton of other kids here?"

"I do Vardis. From a great many houses with longer honors then Blackwood. I would not advise telling them of your importance." Lymon said knowing look.

Vardis looks down at the ground, shamed by the Maester. "Yes, Maester Lymon." He takes a moment to think about his new life here. "Will I be taught lessons by you? And will I get to train with the Master-at-Arms?"

"There are daily lessons for all the fosters in the library, and the Master of arms trains with all the boys." Lymon said.

"Sounds like fun," Vardis says with a little grin. He jumps up from his seat. "Can't wait to train. May I go? Oh, and uh, which way do I go for my room? I got a little lost..."

"A servant can show you to your rooms... and you can go." Lymon said as he shook his head.

"Thanks." Vardis turns and heads out, slamming the door behind him.
