Selwyn says, hushed again, "If ill comes of this, if Rhodri's blood is spilt, you know I will have to leave, and why. I would ask you to come with me."

"Nothing brings comfort to a ghost, your grace," Rhodri replies, his face eerily calm. He does not notice the axe, or does not care.

Callen walked over to Rhodri, and sank to a squating postion so they were eye to eye. "Why have you come here oathbreaker? Come to seek forgiveness for your crimes against me and the gods?"

OOC: Whoa, sorry, wasn't here.
Aranya was tense. "He's not going to kill Rhodri, Selwyn. But if he does, he'll have me to contend with." Somehow, she knew Callen would not kill him. She felt she could trust him...at least, she hoped she could.

Rhodri looks Callen straight in the eye. "It was near to the day my house swore to Lord Dondarrion's rebellion that my father, the great Lord Alyn Royce, died. What I did not know then that I know now is that the Old Gods laid their curse that day. My house has gained greatly from our deeds. Glory, castles, wealth, and power. My brother stood as Hand for five years, and only House Lannister could rival ours in glory and power. But we were dead, dead already, dead from the day we made our pact."
"One brother was ripped from my company. My other brother torn apart and murdered, a body I could barely recognize. My cousin has laid ill for years. Our house is wasting away, wasting because we are Oathbreakers. We are accursed."
"Lay your penance on me. I do not come to beg your forgiveness. I do not come to simper and bow and call you King for fear that you may win the Iron Throne. I come because it was you and your blood we betrayed, and the Old Gods will only lift the curse if you will give me penance to make amends."
"Bid me die and I shall. Challenge me to fight for my honor against you and I shall. Challenge me to fight as your champion and I shall. Order that I swear over my allegiance to your name and I shall. Tell me to take the Black and I will do it."
"It is your choosing. I do not care. Whether I die or live, House Royce will remain. The curse will disappear."

Callen gave a smile, whether at the man's words or the thought of skewering him he could not tell. He got up and stretched, "not all of your house was disloyal. Well they're not of your house yet oathbreaker, but they will be. Aranya, you are to be made a Royce, you too captain, if you wish."

Aranya looked at Callen, her face not betraying the disbelief she felt. Then she smiled. "You honor me, Your Grace. Thank you, I will gladly be made a Royce." She took Selwyn's hand and squeezed it, urging him on.

"I have told you before, your grace, that I would be willing to take the name, but not to betray my brother," Selwyn says. "I was still born second. I would know what penance you shall give my brother Rhodri."

"Your Grace can I talk to you in private for a moment." said Rindwynd as he lead Callen a few meters away. "Callen I now you are anger at Rhodri but I trust him, I ask you as a favour to house Tyrell to spear his life and place him under my Protection if he shall turn on you I will take the responsibility." finished Rindwynd

"Rhodri is now the Lord Regent of the Runestone and the Vale," Aranya said. "I'm sure that's how it works, and I was there when Lord Breyn died in King's Landing. Let Rhodri and his family come back to the Vale, and take your seat again."

Callen looked from Rindwynd, too Aranya, too Selwyn, and finally Rhodri. "I shall not ask Captain Selwyn to betray kin." "Rhodri Royce you and your family shall be destroyed, it shall be as if you never existed. The names of your children and wife shall be as if they never existed. Now postrate yourself before me."
OOC: Before everybody goes apeshit just bear with me

Rhodri's face drains of what little color it has. The one thing he hoped above all was that his actions would absolve and protect his wife and children. But he says nothing, and bows.

Aranya glared at Callen, but caught Selwyn's eye and controlled herself.

Selwyn appears to be choking with rage, but contains himself.
