The Trail from Copse to Marsh

[sethgreyjoy]

The passage from the fortifications at Greycopse, to the stouter habitat at Greenmarsh.

[edricdayne]

Clayton and Seth ride along the trail between Greycopse and Greenmarsh, taking in the scenery around them. Clayton looked over at Seth smiling. "I don't think we've ever spent this much time together before. You're always off at King's Landing." Clayton said, as this had, in fact, been the most time they had spent together.

[sethgreyjoy]

"I am sorry to have burdened you for so many years with this." Seth apologised.

[edricdayne]

Clayton laughed. "I am used to it by now. I still can't believe I left economics for running a small keep..." Clayton jested.

[sethgreyjoy]

"Well, if there is anything I can provide for you, just ask it of me. Even if you wish to retire from Greycopse to raise your family at Greenmarsh, or whatever you whim, it is yours. You have been a noble friend and ally in these unsure times."

[edricdayne]

Clayton thought for a moment. "I would very much like to have a wife, and I would like to do my father proud by creating a strong House. I was wondering if you know any women suitable for me to marry?" Clayton asked.

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth chuckled. "Every man's utmost desire is to sire." He quipped, reminiscient of a certain giant knight. "I can think of several, though I do not know who is to your liking. Perhaps you would like time off to look for one for yourself? Love is a many splendoured thing."

[edricdayne]

Clayton nodded. "I would very much like to take time off to find a wife. It is far past time I raise a family."

[sethgreyjoy]

"Well then..." Seth remarked, tossing a strip of dried venison to Ser. "When we return I shall draw up the leave documents." He watched the cat pounce on the meat, and swallow it whole before looking up at him again hungrily.

[edricdayne]

"Who will watch the Keep in my stead?" Clayton asked, ever thinking of his job. "Look at myself worried about the Keep. You can drive it to the ground for all I care, I got myself a woman to find." Clayton said, laughing.

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth guffawed as well, before pausing, his expression firm.

"Hungry for venison?" He asked, smirking lightly. "The stores of it are getting low."

[edricdayne]

"You can let the cat have it, the knight seems hungry enough. I feel like a little bit of hunting." Clayton smirked and pulled a longbow out. "I've taken up archery in my pastime since you've been away."

[sethgreyjoy]

"Oh, getting a bit big for our breeches are we?" Seth laughed, and smoothly pulled his bow from his shoulder and dexterously drawing a bow from his hip-mounted quiver.

[edricdayne]

Clayton laughed as he pulled a quiver out and placed it on his belt. "I've been practicing, although I am naught but humble M'Lord." Clayton jested.

[sethgreyjoy]

"Then by all means, Clayton, go first."
