The Tor

Robb nodded. "Good," he said curtly. He began to grow impatient. As soon as the two stopped their chatter, he would request a chance to rest before the inevitable feast in the great hall.

[The Stranger]

Lady Aristela rattles off some more comments.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

The Steward quickly responds with a longer statement in Lyseni. The talk seems to be dealing with the Lady Jordayne herself in someway although its impossible for Robb to determine what exactly they are talking about.

[The Stranger]

the Lady smiles coyly, and jabbers on before stopping.

Robb excuses himself. "Tell the Lady I wish to be shown to my quarters. I am very tired after the ride. Tell her I would be pleased and honored to speak with her in a few hours at the supper in the great hall."

[The Stranger]

The lady smiles but seems to shake her head negatively, speaking a few final words.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

Balsemer nods, and then tells the men in the chambers, "Lord Tarly is tired can you show him to his quarters," in perfect grammatically correct Westerosi. He then continues talking with Lady Aristela.

[The Stranger]

A servant approached.

"Milord Tarly, if you'll follow me, I'll take you to the visitor's apartments."

He leads Tarly away to a set of well appointed, but obviously unused sleeping quarters, in the Dornish style, featuring a high number of soft silk pillows, a large round bed, and a canopy.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

Balsemer smiles at the Lady and then says two words in Lyseni and bows. He follows Lord Tarly out of the room.

"Hail, Balsemer," Robb said when he saw the man in the hall. "Come, have a seat. It looked as if you and the Lady got along well."

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"Yes, well I think she was lonely and just wanted someone to speak with. She asked for a dish from her homeland for this evening's dinner," the steward said with a smile. "She also stated that Lord Humble had proposed to her."

[mark]

Robb nodded, not sure of whether to appear pleased, indifferent, or upset. He could not remember who Lord Humble was. "That is... well," he said. "A dish from the homeland, eh? What would that entail?"

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"I have no idea, I was going to look it up in the library mi'lord. Any food that you dislike?"

He looks at the young Lord's curiosity and then answers the Lord's unasked questioned. Lord Humble is the relation of the Ironborn Captain Humble, sacker of Sunspear, Saltshore, and Seagarden, among others. He was awarded half the land of the old House Jordayne by the crown."

[mark]

Robb nodded, a silent thank you for the information. "It sounds like an appropriate match, but I do not know if it is what Alex, the Hand, or the Regent intended. They split the land apart for a reason. I shall send a raven to Godsgrace before the feast to give him this news."

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"Very well mi'lord. You may also want to check in on the Steward's room as well. The Lady Jordayne said that he hung himself unexpectedly."
