"I am sure." he replied as they walked down the hall, followed by six Bravos. "I have no reason to be cruel to you Lady Royce, and unlike the Fucking Sea Lord, I have no desire for that either." He grimaced as he walked along.

"Why not?" Aranya asked, walking beside him and ignoring the bravos. "Your lady has no cause to help me. Why did she send you?"

Timm shook his head, "She is busy, training with the sword. Soon she will have no need of me. The Sea Lord was going to send some fuctionary, I scared him off. They plan on humilating you."

Aranya gave him a long, measuring stare. "I see. Well, it is no more than what I expected, except for the part where you decide to help me." She raised an eyebrow questioningly. "You have no reason to want my dignity and honor intact, as far as I'm aware."

Timm snickered, "I am not as bad as my reputation Lady Royce. I do not hateful or vile. I do this because you are friends with my friends, and because every one should be treated with respect until they prove they do not deserve it."

Aranya threw him a sharp look, but did not press him further, though there was a suspicious gleam in her eye now. "Well, we are in agreement there. Now, let's see this fine bedroom you've procured for me."

Timm lead her to her rooms, and then entered before her. Walking around he showed her the three chambers that were to be here residence for the next few months. "Will this met your needs?"

"These are more than enough," Aranya said, laying the delicate pink gown gently on the bed. "Thank you, Vikary. These..." she caught sight of the clothes in cupboard. They were frothy, lacy dresses all in shades of pink, soft yellow and periwinkle blue. Some of them had floral and butterfly patterns. Aranya merely stared in speechless horror.

Timm followed her eyes and nodded, "I am sorry. I would offer to procure you some more acceptable clothing. The Sea Lord arranged this specifically, and I do not want to anger him over something... so silly." He smiled and shrugged at her.

Aranya shrugged. "It's better than a rat-infested dungeon with an overflowing chamber pot. I can walk around naked and clean, at least, if the dresses make me vomit."
She looked at him seriously. "I had no news in that dungeon down there; the jailer who brought me my food never spoke a word. What is happening? What does the Sealord plan to do? What news of my men in the city? Did they escape? The Sealord tried to lie, to hurt me, but I must know." There was a note of urgency in her voice.

Timm nodded and then replied, "Allain was caught alive and is still in the Watch's cells. The ships you travelled here in were detained. Some men were killed and some were taken."

"Allain is alive?" The relief was palpable. "And..." she paused. "You say some were killed, some were taken? None escaped, then? Except, of course..." she stopped speaking.

"They did not catch all the men, but the ones who escaped I have no idea where they went or what numbers." Timm glanced at the door, "Are you alright?"

Aranya nodded. "I'm all right now, and I thank you for the help. I would reward you in some way, with gold or something, but I don't think I'm in a position to offer you anything right now. So my thanks is all I can give you." She smiled.

Timm waved his hand, "I expect nothing. I want nothing." He looked back to her and offered a wan smile, "How is Westeros? I have not been home in a long time it seems."

Hope you all are well and happy.
