They are shown to Ser Hulken Blackbar and Ser Graham Crane who led the new patrol.
It is Ser Graham who speaks to the Lady. He is a tall, older man with a large bushy white mustache and what would normally be a florid, friendly face.
However, he frowns and strokes his mustache worriedly as he looks at her. "Huurhhmm. Lady Royce" he begins, "I'm afraid I must take you to see Lord Tallahar. There has been a, huurhhm, development at the castle. Please come with me. I will permit you a man and some maids for your comfort and effects but we must leave now. I understand your efforts here and I appreciate them but your other healers must continue your good work for now. Perhaps we can return you here later" he appears quite sad.

One of the men, who had delivered to Lady Bettley the horses and supplies from the Dun Fort, stood quietly beside Lady Bettley, holding a box of bandages. He looked a bit scared.

"I will be happy to be escorted by you if you give me your word on your honor that neither I nor the healers left behind here will be harmed. I am looking forward to seeing Lady Haley and the children again and enjoying the pleasures of Uplands. I have spent many a lovely day there."

Ser Crane squirmed and coughed "I have orders to take you to Highgarden. And I swear by the Seven I have no orders to harm you" he looks shocked at the suggestion. "I was ordered to take you to Lord Tallahar. And that "No" was an unacceptable response" again, he looks uncomfortable at this.

The scared stable hand still stood beside Lady Bettley, as if she could protect him. He had heard of Lord Tallahar's honor and chivalry.

"I have long known Lord Tallahar and his Lady. He is a man of honor and I will trust in his honor."
George Reeves, captain of the Riding Dead is standing near by. Lilith motions him over and speaks with him briefly. He nods and then leaves.
"Captain Reeves will be my escort today and he has gone to fetch three maids and some supplies."
He returns shortly with three plainly dressed women and a large trunk. Upon inspection the trunk has a number of gowns and accessories both elegant and practical, some basic healing supplies, a few books and some embroidery supplies.

"Sorry Lady Lilith you must come with me I have orders to bring you to Highgarden no matter what." Hulken has an edge of steel to his voice.

"I look forward to Highgarden, then," says Lilith calmly. She dons a travelling cloak and prepares to leave.

Ser Crane winces slightly at Ser Hulken's statement "You will be afforded every courtesy however, Lady Lillith. We in the Reach are not without chivalry"

The stable hand saddles a grey Duskendale palfrey and gives Lady Bettley a leg-up into the saddle.

Lilith smiles slightly at Ser Crane, "Thank you sir."
She settles downs on the palfrey and arranges her skirts modestly.

"Come we ride now. Ser Crane you are to come." With that Hulken mounts and rides next to Lady Lilith, "Haley wishes to see you greatly."

The stable hand mounted up and rode beside Lady Bettley. He felt more at ease at Hulken's and Crane's chivalrous words.

"And I am looking forward to seeing her as well. How are the children? Are the triplets managing to behave themselves?"

Ser Crane nods and motions to the rest of the men to form up around them. Around 300 or so return to Highgarden. The rest remain with the healers, with orders to watch them and prevent communication outside of the camp.

Hope you all are well and happy.
