"It's not my keep anymore and I've left that life behind me, but I'll answer your question this time. Crow's Nest isn't that a big keep, but it lay beside the sea on the outer points of Cape Wrath. The sight that greets you from the tower's is unbelievable, I've never seen anything that beautiful."

Alester snorted.
"Sound like you would get along just fine with my son,Conn."

"Well if your son agrees with me he's a fine boy in my books."

He rolled his eyes. He was really ashamed of Conn. The boy only lived for women and drinking, everything else was just a game to him. At least Gideon was doing something with his life, even if becoming a maester was something for weak people in Alester's book.

Alester nodded, but not making any promises.
"Tell me about the leaders of Castle Black"

"Well there's 'Muddy'... Lord Commander Mudd. Good bloke hard working really believes in all that stuff about the Honor of the Watch. Then there Jamie Bracken First Ranger a real hard ass. Don't cross him because he'll send you to scout the Far North with nothing on. Ahh who else there's Timothy Hornwood the First Steward he's alright. Finally there's old Waters the 'Bastard Builder'."

"Thank you for the information. I'm sure it will come useful to me. So tell me about yourself and about the crime you didn't commit"
He grinned at the last word.

"Well me cousin is the Knight of Stars so I get to live in peace and quiet and never have to work. Until I was charged with murdering some guy then raping his wife. I don't know how they pinned it on me but I got sent her for it."

He shrugged.
"Justice isn't always right, I'm afraid. Justice is what you make of it and sometimes people use it to their advantage, maybe that was what happened to you"
He didn't believe for a second that Gorben hadn't done what he said he'd done, but why continue to live in the past. Life was meant to look foward, not back.

Smoke could be seen on the horizon. Alester looked over at Gorben, seeing how Gorben reacted.

Gorben ignores the smoke and continues to pick at his teeth.

Alester put his heels in the side of the horse, and when he came up the hill, he saw Castle Black at a distance.
