Handing a goblet filled to overflowing to Maurin, Piers sat back down. "I thought we swore to never speak of that again. How is Lyle? I saw him at that wedding in the Landing but I was working. Unlike you two I have important duties to our Leonine lord."

"Better to be used sparingly in the perfect circumstances than overused in every circumstance my friend. Lyle is doing well, he said he'd meet us later at the Tomcat's Roar if you feel up to slumming for a bit." Maurin grins and leans back, relaxing a bit more.

"I guess you are right, it is better to have near useless skill, then to be a master of many talents. You can not 'Slum' without Ser Piers my friend, your honor runs too strong." Taking a sip from his wine, he continues, "Before we go a hunting, serious talk. That book I threw you is about dragons, drink deeply of its knowledge. We might be in the need of a dragon slayer, and our Lord thought of you."

"A dragon slayer, I doubt that's a term anyone would ever use. It seems from the legends I have read, it'd have to be something like, 'The lucky bastard who got the last hit against the dragon and survived when 500 of his friends died before him', but we will see what this book has to say." Maurin thumbed through the pages, giving Piers ample time to ready himself.

"Well thats why our thoughts were of you. Not that we want you deceased, but we figured you might be able to flank this particular problem and stab it in the back."
Picking up a plum from his bowl of plums he continues, "I know this does not seem like a healthy task to have, think of it as more a mental challenge then a practical problem."

"Ahh, I see....so we would have to distract the dragon with something that would keep it's attention, Basically a really annoying thing, like the Worm....that'd do." He chuckles and grabs another plum.

"A worm to distract a wyrm. Its like fishing, only infinitely more dangerous, and infinitely less boring. I think you have struck on a good idea. Where are we to come up a giant pulley system to hang him from." Leaning back he tapped his chin several times with his finger.

"I think the hangman's noose would do in a pinch, though we would have to magnify it slightly. Of course, we could always use the Golden Boar as bait, who doesn't like a good roasted boar now and again?"

I do not think Lord Baldwin will soon part with that man, Ser Ilger and Bardulf were good men and much respect by the lord. Yet anything is possible." stifling a yawn Ser Piers looks at his friend. "I think this is the limit for me. I have traveled all day to reach here and I need my beauty sleep. Stay as long as you like, but I must rest."
Piers rises and winks at his friend before retiring for the night.

Ser Maurin bows and leaves his friend to his beauty sleep, before joining Lyle in the Tomcat's Roar.

The Lord Regent's own modest first home gets a sign with a P stuck in the front garden.
