Castle of Keyce

[Maester Maurin]

Stronghold of Maurin Lannister, Marten`s father. Castle stands on the hill surrounded by the fields on one side, small river and forest on the other. Villages can be seen father away.

[Maester Maurin]

Marten Lannister, Eleana and her brothers arrive at the castle, accompanied by small group of guards. They left Casterly Rock during the night, as Marten didn`t want it to be noticed.

[elaena]

This is nice, Elaena thinks, looking around. Much less harsh and detached than Casterly Rock.
She wonders what her brothers think of it. They have been uncharacteristically quiet throughout the duration of the journey. They keep eyeing the guards, trepidation and frustration etched plainly across their faces.

[Maester Maurin]

"Indeed, I prefer this place to Rock as well." -Marten looks at Eleana, quessing her thoughts.

"Maybe we can have some rest from this nightmare here. My father is a good man, he will give us his support."- He says as they ride to the gates.

[elaena]

"We all need the rest," Elaena agrees, glancing concernedly at her brothers.

[swammeyjoe]

They notice that the Castle is less defended than normal due to men being called up for war.

[The Smith]

Mauren Lannister tall and blonde walked stiffly from his keep. Running his eyes over the procession. "Greetings, Son and Daughter? Welcome to Keyce."

[Maester Maurin]

"Greetings father." -Marten cannot help but feel respect for that man, despite all his experiences and his growing prowess as a Knight. Part of him felt just like a little boy again....

"Eleana, meet my father, he taught me all I really needed." -He hold her hand, walking towards him.

"Father, this is Eleana, kindest and fairest woman I have ever known."

[elaena]

"It is an honor, my lord," Elaena says, curtsying deeply.

[The Smith]

Maurin admired his sons bride a long moment, and then waved inviting them into his keep. "I have set up chambers for the two of you in my best rooms. Was the journey tolerable?"

[Maester Maurin]

"Yes, it is not far from Rock after all, though Eleana`s brothers are tired. You are tired as well, Eleana?"- He asks.

[elaena]

Elaena nods wearily, glancing at her brothers as she does so.

[Maester Maurin]

"Well, I think that we will eat a dinner before we go to sleep, right father?" -Marten grinned. It felt good to be back at home.

[The Smith]

"Of course Marten. I will take you to the feast hall." Maurin leads them through the keep engaging them in pleasant conversation until they reach the feasthall. Walking up to the main table he waves for the servants to bring them chow. He sits and begins to study Eleana intently.

[elaena]

Elaena, feeling a little uncomfortable under Maurin's constant gaze, tries to spark up a conversation with her brothers, who make noncomittal noises in response.
