Graham follows Benfry's gaze, but not knowing the other man does not know how to react. He makes a mental note to get better at recognizing coats of arms.
"Uh, right," Graham says. "Thank you m'lord Regent. I think. Do you need me to do anything now? Or House Blackwood?"

Benfry shook his head "A formal declaration of the ending of hostilies and recognising the rule and word of King Rickon Baratheon should be sufficient for the nonce. If your family has any pull left with Princess Tristeza Martell then I would appreciate an effort to reconcile her with his rule before a great many people have to die to do so"

"Will do. I didn't really know Horas' wife. Some of his people might, though. I suppose you could talk with them, if there are any left after the Red Keep falls." Graham coughs once. "Shall I deliver your news back to Raventree Hall or stay here?"

Benfry looked at him for a moment before replying "I'd prefer you remain with the host, to show your House's good intent, if it pleases you - although I will not coerce you to stay if you truly wish to leave"

Graham nods. "I'll stay then."

When the meeting seemed to breaking up, Robb called to Graham and, taking him by the arm and out of earshot, asked him for a word.

"Hmm?" Graham says, "Do I know you?"

Robb eyed the man with loathing. "No, I don't believe so. I am Robb Tarly of Horn Hill. My father was Lord Trevor Tarly. He was in King's Landing during the coup..." Robb said, studying the other man but Graham made no obvious sign. "He died. I was wondering if you could tell me how. You were there, were you not?"

"I was in my tent. Your father wasn't in there with me, I can vouch for that. As can one of King's Landing's most buxom tavern wenches." Graham chuckles a little, but his laughter fades away when he realizes it is not particularly funny.

Robb, who usually would have laughed at the jest, shook his head in disgust and shoved past the man towards his own quarters.

A few days later, Benfry and entourage leave Blackhaven to journey back to Kings Landing.
He invites several of the noble lords to accompany him but requests that greater portion of men are left behind to keep an eye on the Dornish to the south and also to spare Kings Landing from trying to feed them all

Robb Tarly rides in the rear of the company, silent and grim.

Aemon Webber stays with the Far Reach host so that Lord Irwyn can negotiate as Lord Regent, and recover the body of his fallen Lord and Lady Wife.

Tye the bard has tagged along, and begins to pick a little country ditty.
