Tourney at Duskendale

[Deleted]

"I have lost the man I loved," Aranya replied to the Queen, with a strange smile.

Anya looks at Aranya oddly and speaks to the young Lannister. "Very well. I need to stretch my legs anyway" she stands and leads Marten away from the stands with Ser Erik shadowing her every move, hand on his sword hilt. "Now what do you want?" she said, somewhat tetchily.

Aranya bowed her head and returned to watch the jousting.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Vance bounds up into the stands and sits on the far side of Aranya. "Would it be unsporting of me to blame a broken saddle?"

[Maester Maurin]

"I know that I am a Lion, but recently I had dreams about wolfs, and decided that I have to embrace my blood. I spoke with Lord Bolton, and he hinted that there are abandomed lands availible in the North to those that prove themselves worthy. I am planning to go North with the King." - His voice suddenly becomes more sillent.

"But I don`t trust Lord Bolton, and I don`t like the fact that he rules in the seat of the Starks as much as you do, My Queen. Perhaps I could be of use in the North?"

"You rode it too hard," Aranya laughed.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"That bumpkin of a knight. Ah well, now I can sit back in the stands close to you. I can imagine worse fates than that," Vance says.

[Deleted]

"And I so wanted to see how you'd fare against Prince Steffon. I must say, this tourney has taken on a royal glitter. I wonder if Steffon can ride better than Andry."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Vance leans back in his chair. "I wonder which knight will take on a champion next. Who will step up? One of the disguised men, perhaps?"

[Deleted]

"I will have two of the challengers compete for position as the fourth champion," Aranya said. "It would be interesting if one of the mystery knights competed. One of them looks quite big."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"Aye, that is a good choice, mi'lady. I was hoping you wouldn't ask me back into the saddle," Vance says. "After all, I have much more riding to do later tonight."

[Deleted]

"On that lovely Cyrella?"

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"I failed so utterly at making you jealous, didn't I? I suppose Cyrella might be my backup plan if naught else works out," Vance says.

[Deleted]

"Once again, I have to give you credit for effort," Aranya said in amusement.

Anya studies the young man "Perhaps there is more wolf than lion about you yet, young ser" she smiled in friendship. "You may well be useful keeping tabs on that awful Lord Bolton"
