ooc: Uh, lets have the conversation in the Hands Encampment, but I have to run. The guard speaks, "Lady Lannister, the Boltons attacked the Hand and the Lord Regent, your uncles are either injured or have fled." Elaena studies the guard and sees the truth of his words. She gives Marten a cool look before she enters his chambers with her brothers and closes the door on the men, saying nothing. |

"We were too late....I am sorry." -Marten tells her, and sighs as she doesn`t respond to him.
She goes to the camp, as quickly as possible.

Elaena tries to keep her brothers occupied, but the guard's words keep making their way to the front of her mind.
Your uncles are either injured or have fled.
She wondered which was Morax. It was not in his nature to flee, but she knew he would never let himself be taken alive if he had a choice.

A few hours later, Aethon and Gared were asleep atop Marten's bed. Elaena sat in a chair on the other side of the room, watching them sleep, wondering what was going to happen to them now.
What's going to happen to me now?

There was a knock at the door. Several rumpled Lannister guardsmen await outside the door.

Elaena opens the door, glaring at the men.
"Yes?"

"Madame, I am dreadfully sorry to intrude on your retreat, but my Lord Lannister has requested that I fetch you and bring you down to Lannisport." The man bows deeply flourishing his scarlet cloak, and as he stands he plays with his golden moustache. Offering her his sparkling smile he adds, "At your leave, of course."

"No, I think not," Elaena says firmly. "I'm not going anywhere until I've spoken with my lord husband." She closes the door again.

Randal enters, and looks at Marten, "May I speak with you?"

OOC: I posted topic in Lannister thread. I assume that Marten didn`t yet have time to seriously talk to Eleans.

Marten returns after several hours, very distressed and pale. He waits few moments before he speaks, knowing how bad the events went.
"It all went to hell, Eleana, and your life as well as your House are threatened. Apparently, there wers some heated private negotiations between Horas, Randall and Lyas. I told you that there were difficulties, but obviously my dear cousin Randall wasn`t keeping me up to date all the time." -Marten scowls for a moment, than his sorrowful look returns.
"Than it came to the fighting, it seems like your uncle brought some hidden troops and at the same time the Hand decided to arrest him. And....." Marten pauses, finding it diffiicult to look straightly into Eleana`s eyes. "Randall chosen to side with Horas over Lyas, at the last moment."
"Well....there was a fight, and Bolton soldiers lost, outnumbered. Lyas escaped but your uncle Morax has been taken captive, he is safe. All your other relatives shall be treated well, my cousin assured me.
Lord Horas declared Erik Coldiron not guilty and Ironborn demanded your execution. I have spoken with Halraw, but he is difficult to reason with. Horas on the other hand, decided that you won`t be persecuted as you are my wife, and I assured him that you are innocent, though he warned me that he will treat us as traitors if we step out of line." -Marten stops for a moment, considering what to say next.
"I won`t let them harm you or your family, I promise. I will challenge Randall if need be, but I will protect you. We will have to work it out, somehow. I am sorry, I am really sorry, I didn`t know it wil happen like this. I tried my best to prevent it."

Elaena considers his words in silence for a few moments.
"Why should I trust you?" she says finally.

"You don`t have to, Eleana. But I still want to help you, I have this duty."-Marten looks straight at her now, his conviction returning.

"So you spoke to Randal then? I thought he was in Lannisport..."

"He was in Hand`s Encampenent, now he is in the Rock. Why are you asking?"- Marten is surprised at her choice of question.

Hope you all are well and happy.
