The Meeting Room

[wookie]

Benfry is somewhat taken aback by the cold response and replies "Yes, well...I'm sure they only have the best interests of the realm at heart" he smiles weakly.

[The Smith]

"As long as the Kingdom aligns with their own wishes." Yew answers.

[wookie]

Benfry looks unhappy at his words but does not disagree. "We are sworn to defend them, my brother. It is not our business to like their methods"

[The Smith]

"Ben I would leap infront of a crossbow bolt for Piers. I would and not even hesitate. But that does not mean I can stop feeling what I feel." Yew looked at Smith and then nodded, "Alright, I will not speak of it again."

[wookie]

Benfry nods and forces a smile onto his face "Life is not perfect, my brother. But we make do the best we can, eh?"

[The Smith]

Yew nodded silently.

Ser Tytos Blackwood entered the room, looking around. He walked over and picked up the White Book, and sat down in a chair and started reading about his past brothers.

After the long day, Ser Tytos Blackwood retires to the White Tower and seeks out his new Lord Regent and Lord Commander, Ser Benfry Smith.

[Imry Willfyre]

Ser Alexius Blackwood is already in the White Tower, reading through books.

[edricdayne]

Ser Tytos Blackwood looks at his cousin Alexius as he walks in. "Hello, Alexius. How are you?"

[Imry Willfyre]

"Hello cousin. I'm fair, just reading through a little Andal early history".

[edricdayne]

Tytos smiled. "You're of the First Men, what should you care what the Andals did?" He said, jesting.

[wookie]

Benfry walks into the room, two of the Kings Men behind him. They stop at the door as he enters.
Benfry seems somewhat distracted but smiles at the two Kingsguard saying, "The King is protected by our brothers Edrick and Felwick. So we may speak freely. How are you both?" he smiles.

[edricdayne]

Ser Tytos looks up at the Lord Commander, Benfry. "I'm good, Benfry. Are those the King's Men?" He asks, motioning towards the two men at the entrance.

[wookie]

"Two of them, at any rate" Benfry smiled. "Their numbers are slowly growing. They all seem good men and true, though some could use more time in the training yard"

"Still, it will be good to have sworn men in place. The gold cloaks are not as reliable as I had hoped. Prince Andry's coup proved that" he frowned.

"The duties of the Regency will keep me occupied a great deal" Benfry said with wry understatement "Whilst I remain the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and I hope to return to those duties once the King comes of age, I find myself unable to be here as much as I would like. Tytos, would you take up the burden in my absence? I will spare you the Small Council meetings..." he rolls his eyes "But I will need someone to take care of the other details I normally attend to"
