Highgarden Cells

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth didn't say anything at first, he simply moved closer to the cellbars.

"If I can get you out of here, will you come with me?"

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"What of my King? I cannot abandon him here. I have said vows, as has my brother," Giles says.

[sethgreyjoy]

"King Callen Baratheon is dead. Threw himself from the tower, though I hear rumor that he was murdered. It is said his battlecry could be heard throughout the city, and he was found with his sword in hand. Quite a suicide." Seth left no question in his tone as to what he thought of the idea of that.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Edrick reacts to that, lunging from his seat. "The Storm King would never kill himself. Never."

Giles looks grimly at Seth. "Your cowards of the Reach disgust me. I take it we shall die soon."

[sethgreyjoy]

"That is why I come here." He looks around the room and then continues. "I would take the both of you with me. You would be treated with respect and kindness at my home, and none would kill you there, I can promise that." Seth stepped into the wan finger of light in the room. His eyes shone with sympathy for his former mentor.

"I would do this to protect you, as you have protected me in the past, and as you have protected the Realm."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"At your home? We would not be free to return to where we want?" Giles asks.

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth stepped forward, closer to his mentor. "You must travel to Greycopse and see it, it is a beautiful place." He seems to be particularly avoiding answering his question directly. He looks around again. "I know some guardsmen that could do with a bit of training from a Kingsguard."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"It is better than this cell here," Ser Giles says. Edrick strides forward as well. They both suddenly appear eager.

[sethgreyjoy]

"I cannot promise that I can retrieve you, but I will try. Know that I will try." He looked sad.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"Not now, then? Very well," Ser Giles says. "We will await you." His face blazes with determination.

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth nods, and without saying anything further, he turns on his heel and leaves, Iron padding softly behind him, a feline face looking over it's shoulder at Ser Giles, almost quizzically.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Giles looks at Edrick once Seth is gone. "We must kill Aaron Fossoway before we escape."

[theother]

Edrick glances at Giles. "You think I don't want to? But he'll be surrounded by guards, we'd be cut down before we even got close. I don't fear death but it seems pointless to do so for no result. I think we owe it to Callen to escape and protect his heirs. With Eddard dead, Miles gravely injured, Erik forswearing his vows and that young northman newly joined, only Anselm is left who I trust and, though I love him as a brother, we both know that either of us are better swords than he"

"Erik, though. Erik I would kill before we leave" his eyes blazed angrily.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Giles spits at mention of the fallen cloak's name. "A blackened rose, that one. Aye, you are right. Rickon is our King now, and it is he who we must protect."

[theother]

Edrick rattles the bars "Of course, we need to get out before we do anything" he says with gallows humour
