Solar of Lord Tyrell

[Tallahar]

"Very good." Tallahar nods at the man, "Go find my cousin Georth he will sort out where you will be sleeping."

[Ollie]

With a overstated bow, the Bloody Sparrow departs to seek out cousin Georth.

[Ollie]

A few weeks later, Ser Dunnock requests a word with Tallahar.

"Milord Tyrell," the hedge knight says, greeting the man he had sworn his sword to. "Have you heard word of the Tourney in Duskendale?"

[Tallahar]

"Tourney oh wonderful." The wound in Tallahar's chest reminded him to much of Tourneys, "Do you wish to go Ser Dunnock?"

[Ollie]

"Ayup," he says with a proud nod.

"... If'n it pleases yer lordship, tha' is," he says hastily.

[Tallahar]

"I think a Tourney would be a good idea. We will leave on the morrow."

[Tallahar]

Tallahar sat alone in his solar. A large pitcher of wine was next to him and he was drinking from a glass. He waited for the man he had summoned.

[The Stranger]

Lord Earl Crane entered the solar at a brisk pace. Even for the Mander it was starting to get chilly, and the arthritis in his wrist still pained at times.

"Lord Regent Tallahar, I rode when I received your summons. What is it that was so urgent?"

[Tallahar]

"Rebellion what else would I ask for the great general of Mander for." The Dawn Raider seemed slightly drunk and very somber.

[The Stranger]

"And who has raised the flag of rebellion? I suppose it is the Vale's turn is it not? I can barely keep track anymore."

[Tallahar]

"No even worse my old friend. A cousin to the main branch of House Meadows has kidnapped the lords younger sister and demands the boy to proclaim that he is no longer Lord of Grassy vale and that the cousin is." Tallahar slams his fist onto the table, "Why!!!! Must there always be violence."

[The Stranger]

"Because men are vain and greedy, and too soon to forget a kindness. Why does the Lord not raise his men-at-arms, and hunt this dog of a relative down for justice? I shouldn't imagine it would take long."

[Tallahar]

"Because he fears for his sisters life." Tallahar finally looks at Crane. The Dawn Raiders are are bloodshot and he looks extremely tired, "I would consider it a personal favor if you were to march with 1000 men to Grassy Vale and help the Lord."

[The Stranger]

"How exactly does a thousand men help his sister's life? If the craven is of a mind to slit his sister's throat, he'll be more apt to do it when I approach with a company of men. Anyway, do we know where the dastardly traitor is hiding?"

[Tallahar]

"No we don't. But I fear that he may march on Grassy Vale. That is why I want you there Crane. Please handle this issue. I got you out of prison it is the least you could do for me."
