[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"I cannot speak for Lannister. But for my part, I am no Arryn, I am a Royce. And I am sworn to the service of the Hand. That is the vow I must keep. The Baratheons are Stormlords, nothing more, a few generations with a stolen crown does not change that. This is a Valyrian kingdom, and they have come again, dragons in hand."

"Serve them once more, as your House has always done so faithfully."

"As for Rodrick, his crimes, his wantonness, his violence and temper are all well known and recorded."

[Bunny-Rabbit]

"This 'Kingdom' you speak of only exsists because of foreign sister-fucker. You should study your history a little better Gathor. If it weren't for that you would be serving the King of the Reach."

Ser Piers laughed merrily, "Are you expecting to convert us to your side, I think that would be a daunting challenage.

[stahadis]

"One dragon I heard, and a small one at that, and no this is not a Valyrian kingdom, there where seven kings before Aegon came."

"and what will you do when the next mad king sits on the throne? one with a dragon?"

Gathor laughed "King of the Reach, that does sound good to the ears, vary well Ageon did build the kingdom but Aerys almost slew and Robert saved it."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"King Aegon IX is no madmen, his brilliance is legendary in the Free Cities. Even the supposedly Mad King Aerys has been ill-painted by history because of the Baratheons. King Aegon will lead Westeros to a prosperity unimaginable under the drunken whoreson Rodrick."

[Bunny-Rabbit]

"Madness is possible in all lines. There have been mad Lannisters and Tyrells. You prepare for a storm that may never come." Ser Piers yawned, "As interesting a discussion as this is, can we finish this talk after you surrender."

[stahadis]

"You will lose men when you attack our walls then it would be the river lords you will have to fight and after that, maybe your lord Lannister would be more... understanding."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"If Highgarden falls today, and the streets of Oldtown run with blood tomorrow, the Riverlords will yield. But it needn't come to that. Swear fealty to King Aegon and this land shall be grateful, the Seven will be grateful, your people shall be gratefull and sing the praises of your name."

[Bunny-Rabbit]

"My Lord understands much." said Ser Piers with a knowing smile. "Have the Starks moved at all. Only you and the Tullys fight. Why should the Tyrell blood spill while the northmen stay inside their freezing halls."

[stahadis]

"They stay and they talk, but to my cousin who rode north a month ago. While the wester lords leave their castles and lands to fight on the Reach."

[Bunny-Rabbit]

"There is no need for any westerman to ever step foot on the Reach. We are forgiving much more then you. Your men have run amuck in the west." Ser Piers raised an eyebrow.

"Do you wish to invite us in for supper?"

[stahadis]

Ser Gathor smiled, "I am afraid we cant feed you, someone is laying siege to our castle. I will discus this with my father and come back to you with our minds made."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"Choose wisely. Choose peace. We shall await your response tomorrow."

[stahadis]

"Vary well then" Gahtor turned to ride off back to his castle.

[stahadis]

"House Tyrell is ready to offer it's terms"

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Ser Rhodri and his banner party return to the meadow to hear Ser Gathor's terms.
