The room that Robb Marbrand has been placed in while he is a hostage at the Hightower. It's a mediocre room, with two beds, two cupboards for clothes and a small privy where one can conduct one's business in a bucket and wash your face. At the moment, Robb lives there by himself.

Robb sat nervously on the bed, waiting for the knock he hoped would be coming on the door. He had snuck into Mariya's room earlier when he wasn't certain that she was there and had left her a note, asking her to come to his room this evening. He didn't know if she would though, so the sword would stay hidden til she came.

Siome time later, a knock came on the door.

Robb almost jumped off the bed, his body filled with excitement, and rushed over to the door and opened it.

Mariya stood there, dressed in her training attire. She smiled at Robb.
"Hello."

Robb bowed slightly and returned the smile.
"Lady Mariya, you came, come in, come in." he said with an excited tone to his voice.

She smiled and entered the room, looking around curiously since she'd never been there before.

Robb gave a quick look out through the door, and when he saw noone he closed the door again and locked it behind him. He then headed over to the cupboard and took out the sword from behind there and placed it on the bed before Mariya. It was still wrapped in the cloth.
"Here it is, the sword that you asked for."

She smiled, her heart racing as she upwrapped the cloth.
"Thank you, Robb. Does our smith know it's for me?"

Robb swallowed hard, this was the part that he hadn't been looking forward to, since he wasn't too sure on how Mariya would react.
"Well, no. He told me that he didn't have the time to go about making little girls toys that they shouldn't play with from the beginning."

"Oh. So who did you tell him it was for?" She asked.

Robb shook his head, hoping that he wouldn't have to explain any more than he just did, but apparently he had to now.
"Well, I didn't. I went to the forge just after closing time and made it myself." he said, feeling his heart beat faster as he waited to see how Mariya responded.

Her eyes wideend.
"YOu did? But...you said you only tend the firest and things! I didn't know you actually knew how to smith a blade!"

Robb shrugged.
"Well, I am not really allowed to, but I've helped working the bellows and watched the blacksmith a lot while I've been there. I failed a few times with the steel, but learnt from my mistakes. I know that it's not a master-forged sword, Lady Mariya, but I hope that you'll like it anyway."

She gazed at the sword. Though it was obviously not forged by a master smith, she thought Robb had done well. The workmanship was pretty good in the circumstnaces.
"I do," she said. "I'll treasure it always, Robb. And you know, if you wish to pursue this, you will get better with time."
