Elane's House

[Horas]

A Braavosi messenger knocks at the door to Elane's house, announcing that Ollo Tregario would like to speak to the second Naemyr at her earliest convenience.

[Deleted]

Elane tells the messenger that Ollo Tregario is always welcome in her home.

Elane speaks with the cook after giving Rose her drawing lesson. There is to be a guest this evening.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Brandon Buckler has spent the last couple days privately working on his footwork, though whether it was for swordplay or dancing only the sky would know.

Elane came out into the garden. She wore a demure blue gown embroidered with silvery silk braid. "We are to have a guest this evening, ser."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"Thank you for notifying me, Mistress. I shall attend to see to your safety," Ser Brandon says, voice tactful.

[Deleted]

"I was rather hoping you would attend to have dinner and meet the guest," Elane said carefully. "After all, you are also my guest, not just my bodyguard, and a man of high birth."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Brandon allows himself a smile. "Yes, mistress. I will wear silk instead of steel, and I will partake of your fine food. Thank you. But I'll still bring my blade..." he says, with a small bow.

[Horas]

Ollo Tregario arrives with his rather expansive retinue.

"Naemyr Elane," Ollo smiles broadly, "It is good of you to have me in your home."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Ollo sees a large, strong man clearly of Westerosi origin standing behind her slightly. He is dressed in a dark silk doublet of Braavosi cut but carries the heavy blade of the west. He is tall, with brown curly hair.

Elane smiled and greeted him in a warm but lady-like manner. "You are always welcome in my home, Ollo. Allow me to introduce you to Ser Brandon the Stormshield, a Westerosi knight of great renown. Ser Brandon, this is Ollo Tregario, a most successful businessman and a good friend."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Brandon inclines his head.

Elane invited them inside and served them dinner. There was onion and ale soup with bread, a swan in its plumage, crab, goose livers drowned in wine, veal cutlets, buttered parsnips, and suckling pig.

"How have you been, Ollo?"

[Horas]

"Ser Brandon, is it?" Ollo greets the man with a friendly smile, "Any friend of the Naemyr's is a friend of mine!"

Ollo allows himself to be escorted inside, then begins to eat with a passion.

"I have been well, Naemyr. Our business is prospering, no? And how are you?"

[Deleted]

"Our business is indeed doing well. I am glad I could give my friend some well deserved profits." Their wine glasses were refilled. "I have been well. I'm sure you saw the security as you came in - this place is quite safe. Doubly so now that valiant Ser Brandon is here. I have been quite well, and investigating on those clues you gave me few months ago. Unfortunately, we have not had much luck."
