Lady Stark paid him his price without haggling, and turned to walk with Olander Reed.
"I have never felt that kind of heat, or seen such weather with flowers blooming or the grass growing green and warm, though I have heard about it. I am used to the cold and winter, but I am eager to see what the south is like."

"You shall see your fill of the south at King's Landing, I am sure."
The two strode out of the leather vendors tiny shop and into the bracing winter air of White Harbor. Olander walked beside the Lady Stark, his gaze failing to meet hers, but rather falling to the smallfolk crowding the open market.
"Speaking of, milady, I have been eager to speak with you of the wedding feast. It will be an effort consuming undertaking, I can imagine."

Tyla gazed at him as he spoke, and then seemed to snap out of a reverie when he waited for a reply. "Yes, I think so. I don't know much about these southron traditions except for what I've read. I think we need only concern ourselves with the North Kingdom party, right? I was thinking that a theme all of the North could relate to would work...perhaps you have some ideas?"

The boy's face reddened, and he looked as though he were about to throw a temper tantrum, but the elderly Maester put a hand on his shoulder, and the boy looked up at him, and than back at Stark, "milord Stark shall have what he requires. Ser Axell will show you to your apartments, at which time you may speak with him. Ser Axell, see that they are comfortable, and than return directly." "Yes milord." The older knight said. "Milord Stark, if you would." He gestured, leading the Lord of the North to a series of well appointed rooms. Roose handed his grey cloak to one of his guards, who took a position by the wall. "There are matters we need to discuss. Especially concerning the new Lord of White Harbour." |

The elderly knight raised his eyebrow, but remained wordless.

Roose placed a gloved hand on the table. "The city, it has been pacified of all followers of the Red God followers?"

I think we need only concern ourselves with the North Kingdom party, right? I was thinking that a theme all of the North could relate to would work...perhaps you have some ideas?" "The Children of the Forest," Olander said in his quiet voice, attention drifting away as if caught up in some secret thought only he was privy to. After a moment, his tepid eyes flickered, and he glanced to Tyla. "That is, the Dawn Age, and the Age of Heroes. All the old tales and things that give cause for the might of north. The feast should be in honor of the Old Gods; for the Children and their weirwood, and for their greensight; for the First Men; for Bran the Builder and the Wall. We must remind His Grace and the other kingdoms that the North is as large as they all put together, and how in the ages of old that the North has always been the one to protect against the darkness." Olander paused for a moment, then looked as if he would continue, before falling silent. |

Tyla's eyes widened. "That is the perfect theme! I can imagine it. Oh, we should have our party in the Red Keep's godswood."

"The boy needs a regent." Said Roose, placing a gloved hand on the table. "The show of temper in the audience chamber is enough proof."

"With due respect milord, he is a bright and sober young boy, and he has listened to myself and the Maester in the more complex questions so far. I do not see any reason to poke the hornet's nest."

"And I do not see any reason for their to be a hornet's nest in the first place. Lord's cannot afford to act like angry bees."

"He's a lord, milord. I recall hearing that you also did not take kindly to the suggestion that you have a regent due to your own... limited experience. The boy listens well to his elders, and I would not like to see that jeopardized for the sake of a title, for what does a regent do but advise? I'd rather the boy receive good advice, and have no regent, than have a regent, with advice he won't take. The boy listens to council now, that is well enough."

"Then you heard wrong, I didn't not take kindly to having a conivinning murderer being my regent. It just so happened that he died as I neared my coming of age. If the boy has already learned how to listen, then then he needs to learn how to obey."

"You are his lord, you may order a regent be appointed if you insist, but tradition and law has always dictated that a Lord's word is law above the wishes of his regent's. But you have heard my counsel, if you choose to ignore it that is your right as well."
