Francis nods to Haley, "He will get better. The man is tougher than an Auroch, everyone knows." Varner departs.

Haley turns back to her husband, and held his hand tightly. "I remember that day well. You were so young and beautiful and strong. I was so glad I was marrying you and not some shrivelled old man."

"Yes. I don't know who was more happy you or your father. When I looked at you I knew I had won the greatest prize in the realm." Tallahar's eyes open and he looks around the room he spies a boy, "You boy go and find my Son William and see if you can find a woman by the name of Jeyne with three babies bring them here."

Haley almost shook Tallahar in frustration. "You're trying to say goodbye, my love, and I won't let you. You heard Varner, you're strong as an aurochs. Even blades can't kill you."
The quiet of the tent, however, was soon invaded by William, Jeyne and the triplets.

Tallahar turns his head to William, "Son, I've been stabbed."
The boy not understanding simply nods.
"Now if I'm going to die your going to have to look after mummy OK. You'll be the Lord of Uplands." Tears form at the edge of Tallahar eyes.
William steps back and Tallahar looks to Jeyne, "Bring the triplets down so I may see them again." As Jeyne lowers them so Tallahar turned head may see them. "Oh my little girls I will miss not seeing you grow. And Callen I so wished to tell you stories of the man you were named after."

After Tallahar says goodbye to all his children, Haley turns to Jeyne. "Look after the children, I will be here tonight." Jeyne nods and the troop leaves, William carrying Callen and Jeyne carrying the girls.
When the rabble has finally left, Haley turns to Tallahar and pokes him in the arm with every word she says. "You. Are. Not. Going. To. Die. You are going to live and to make sure of that, I am staying right here with you." She squeezes his hand fiercely.

"Yes M'Lady as you command I obey. But maybe just maybe that is not something I can follow and if we do happen to walk down that road I want to make sure that everything is sorted out before I do."

Emelia stepped into the tent to look in on one of the injured Dornishmen from the melee.

When Tallahar woke the next morning, he found Haley holding his hand, asleep in a chair next to him, and Lilith standing over him, tending his wounds.
Lilith smiled when she saw him open his eyes. "You have lived through the night, my friend." At this, Haley opened her eyes as well. "The good news is all the healers agree that this was the worst part. This wound will not kill you. The bad news is that you are going to be weak as a kitten for a long long time and you will never regain your full strength. At best, if you work very hard, you will be a very good swordsman."
Tears started rolling down Haley's face "I told you you weren't going to die," she said.

Emelia looked at Haley and Tallahar, her face unmoved. Her lips were about to move, but she looked to Lilith, held her peace, and returned to observing the injured Ladybright knight.

Tallahar nods at everything they say to him but simply closes his eyes and falls back to sleep.

Duodec opens his eyes and spies the Princess. "Your highness," he croaks, "Apologies for not..."

Ser Humfrey burst into the tent, concern etched onto his face.
"LORD TYRELL?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!" He boomed, knocking over a table as he searched for his liege lord.

"Humfrey I am here." Tallahar turns his head and looks at the great clumsy Giant.

Emelia smiled down at Duodec Ladybright. "Don't worry, you did fine. The fight was horribly rigged in favor of the Green Cloaks."
She turned to Humfrey. "Not so loud, Ox. There are wounded trying to rest."
