"As you may be aware, the King is offering Harrenhal to any man who can successfully capture Horas Blackwood."

"Yes, I am aware. I discussed this with Lord Walder. We agreed that I would not be involved in the capture of Horas Blackwood. That was an issue for your... associates to deal with."

"That was not the understanding." The man said. "In any case, you need not hunt for Lord Horas. He will... come to you."

Steffen looked puzzled, but a possible understanding dawned on his face. "Do you mean to capture the crow then give him to me for the turning in?"

"Something like that." the man said. "Will that prove problematic?"

Steffen smiled. "No," he said. "I very much like the idea. Very much indeed."
"Might I ask how you intend to capture him?"

"We have someone who will do that for us." The man's nose twitched.

Steffen nodded. Getting answers from these men was like attempting to draw blood from a stone.
"And the chances that this man will succeed?" he asked.

"That's an excellent question. I am hopeful however."

"Hopeful, hopeful..." The worm considered the word quietly.
"To be frank ser, the reason I came today, as you probably know, was to check on how this... project was coming along. Can you tell me today that significant progress is being made?"

"A great deal of progress." The man said, "We are 100% further along than we were yesterday."

"Cut the bullshit man, 100% of nothing is still nothing. Have you made real progress?"

The man does not seem offended by the outburst. "By your rudeness ser, you would almost think that it was You who were giving, I a great and powerful keep, rather than the reserve." The man sniffed the air delicately.
"You need simply be where we tell you to be, when we tell you to be there. If you can handle that, everything will be fine."

"I am guessing that you are just a messenger. It is a messenger's job to give the message correctly, not carry out the deed itself. Hence my rudeness." Steffen scowled.
"I can do what you ask. I shall be where you want me to be."
