The Roseroad

[seth]

"You make a solid point." Seth placed a finger to his lips. "You have the makings of a fine warrior, Kebra. I will comission Ser Miles Grimm to forge you a fine blade upon our return." He cleared his throat. "And I shall craft you a new bow myself."

[Tallahar]

The boy is almost jumping up and down with joy, "Oh Thank you Lord Falgrave. I shall prove to you that I can be a great warrior. First tourney I win I will say it was you who helped me to do it."

[seth]

"Win the tourney first, Kebra." Seth said, laughing, though he appreciated the boy's spirit.

[Tallahar]

Kebra slyly looks back at Seth, "Only a matter of time."

OOC: We can switch to the Wood Road now if you like.

//////////

A diminutive looking hedge knight trots down the Roseroad on a temperamental garron. Whistling a song that thrills like a sparrow's morning warble, he makes his way to Highgarden.

[Tallahar]

A Knight with four compainions in plan but well made armour approachs. The Leaders surcoat is of the Golden Rose. "Halt Ser. Who are you and where are you going?"

[Ollie]

The hedge knights reins up, considering the Highgarden knight's halt as more suggestion than command. "I 'ave th' pelasure o' beain' Ser Dunnock, th' very Bloody Sparrow 'imself," he says with a grin stained red by a mouthful of sourleaf. "I jus' 'appen t' be on m'way t' see the Lord Tyrell. I served with 'is lordship durin' Fossway's Folly. One o' th' first men o'er them walls at Nightsong, I was."

[Tallahar]

"Amazing Ser Dunnock you got over the walls when no one else did." The man looks angry at having being adressed so poorly. "I have never heard of the Bloody Sparrow though."

[Ollie]

Ser Dunnock curses under his breath as his temperamental garron snorts angrily and trots sideways, and fruitlessly struggles with the reins. “Ahem,” he coughs finally getting his mount under control, “As I was sayin’, I saw plenty o’ men climb them walls. No great things they were, jus’ ‘bout two feet tall and made of timber, surroundin’ the farms an’ the like.”

Happy with his reply, Ser Dunnock plunges forward. “An’ don’t worry, Ser, I’ll forgive yer ignorance o’ th’ Bloody Sparrow. Figure you’ve got ‘alf th’ names o’ every Reach knight in yer head as it is, no room fer m’self, s’understandable. I ain’t been in th’ Reach in ‘alf a season anyhow.”

[Tallahar]

"Well good for you. Are you hoping to swear your sword to your old Lord and my cousin Tallahar?"

[Ollie]

He chuckles, "Me old lord was from Cider Hall, an' before that Rosby, an' before that Redfort, an' before that Pinkmaiden, an' before that Hornvale. If'n th' Lord Tyrell can use 'imself a master swordsman, then I'll swear me blade to 'im. If not, I'll be ridin' on through, Ser."

[Tallahar]

"Tallahar could always use good swordsmen." Garin turns nods at his men and they make room for Dunnock to ride through, "You may ride."

[Ollie]

The hedge knight urges his garron forward, red teeth flashing wildly. "How fares 'is lordship of late? Taken up in th' war of the sands was 'ee?"

[Tallahar]

"Yes my cousin fought and he lost his wife. But enough of that I must return to my scouting." Garin nods at the Hedge Knight turns his horse and rides away from him.
