"An empty shell, Roland, an empty shell. I am nothing without a big rock to gift to ladies."

Roland laughed heartily. "Well, I best depart to take up my duty in the Vale Watch. Heal well, Ser Vance."
Roland made his farewells to Lady Aranya, "Milady, I thank you for the hospitality-- and for the lesson last evening. My shoulder is still smarting. Is there any word you would have me take to the Vale?"

"Ah, did she give you a lesson to? I learned much from her with mine. Such stamina the lady has," Ser Vance says. It is hard to tell what he means.

Roland tilts his head in something akin to confusion, "She taught me a lesson with her spear..."

"Whereas we used my spear during our lesson," Vance comments.

Roland's eyes grow wide as saucers, and he speechlessly turns to look at Aranya, suddenly remembering Alla Hunter saying something about chalk.

Aranya stormed through the Dun Fort in her bedrobe. It was still half an hour till dawn, but she had her sword in her hand, Ser Vance Hardyng limping beside her. Perra came after them, looking terrified.
"Ser Denys!" Aranya bellowed as she entered the barracks. The Hammer came at once. "Take your riders and and scour the headland. Search the city upside down, inside out. Leave nothing untouched. Ser Jonjen Hill has made off with Brynden and Nymeria."
Ser Denys' face grew dark with anger and shock. He hadn't believed what he was hearing from the other guards. "Yes, my lady." Ser Garth, Ser Harmond, Ser Patrek and Ser Ethan joined him, and they rode out with a number of men-at-arms.
Aranya pulled her hair. "That bastard!" she screamed.

"I will kill him for you, mi'lady, I will find him and kill him. Do you know where he might have gone?" Vance asks.

"Back to the west? Down towards the south? Oh fuck, why didn't I see this? Why didn't I suspect? He enters my service, yet he declines to join the tourney. Why would he do that? Why would an untried hedge knight want to stay so low profile? He was a hired hand. And when I find out who sent him..."
She threw the sword across the hallway, and it made a loud clanging sound as it hit the stoneflagged floor.
"Barret Tyrell could be behind this. Or Bolton. Or...anyone. Anyone." She looked around, desperate. "My little boy. Will they kill him? Sell him? Take him across the sea? Even feed him? What are they doing to him right now?" There were tears in her eyes.

"Trackers, mi'lady. Do you have hunters here at the keep? Perhaps they can find his trail. And a man alone with children will look odd. We can ask people on every road." Vance says, holding Aranya's hand.

"My dogs. Of course. I will take the hounds, no other. I don't trust any of these fools. You can't ride with me, I suppose?"

"Of course I can ride. I beat you in the race, or have you forgotten?" Vance says. He begins to limp towards the stables, but stumbles and falls.

"Vance!" Aranya picked him up gently. "Vance, you brave, loyal, fool. Perra, help him back to his room. It's all right, dear. You can't come." She helped him to his feet.

"Nonsense. I will find Hill and gut him. What a coward." Vance says, pulling himself to his feet. He struggles along towards the horses. "Once I am in a saddle I will be a new man again."
