"Ah. Very well. I'm afraid its to late to add his name to the declaration, which is being winged over our heads as we speak, but he'll be a good addition."

[Imry Willfyre]

Caron nodded. "Where shall I ask my Lord to send his hosts first?"

[The Flint]

Justin bite his lip. "If you've secured the Stormlands, sit tight and await the reaction. We must wait to see who rises against us, and where they move."

[Imry Willfyre]

Caron nodded. "Have you spoke with any Dornishmen?"

[The Flint]

Hightower shook his head, "If you think they could be brought over, I am highly doubtful. If they remain south of the passes, it is the best we can hope for. I'd not be the man to speak to them in any event."

[Imry Willfyre]

"Lord Dondarrion's second son Eamon was slain, and his party of 100 knights completely outright as they rode North in a friendly entourage with the King."

[The Flint]

"Why would Lord Dondarrion have his relative with the King when he knew what was coming? That seems a rank foolishness. Still, we knew him for a cold blooded killer without honor, this act should not surprise us."

Caron eyed the man more coldly, "We had no knowledge of this note. Lord Dondarrion did not even sign it. It is thanks to Lord Kellington that he heard of it in advance."

[The Flint]

"Master Flea told me that you and he had agreed that I would draft a statement. When I recieved Lord Dondarrion's urging to raise troops, I understood him as ready to commence." Justin said. chewing his lip more intently. It began to bleed slightly.

[Imry Willfyre]

"One should not act so hastily during war, however. Matters should be checked and double checked. But this matter is over and out. We must move on. I fully expect that the King will march towards Storm's End first and then Blackhaven. I request that Far Reach ride North. The King's aggression means this war has already started. To delay movement is to admit defeat."

[The Flint]

"Lord Craych Tyrell has not yet moved. If we march North it will force him to choose a side, and all 60,000 of the Mandermen than are against us. Better to wait than to force them to make the choice we don't want. Where is Lord Barclay? Have him bring his troops south to the Stormlands. He will never hold Sharp Point in any case, better to have those troops with us."

Septon Benedict arrives at the Hightower and asks for an audience with Lord Justin. The Septon seems more tired and worn out then normal.

[The Flint]

Justin welcomed the Septon.

"Septon Benedict, always it is a pleasure."

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

The Septon smiled, "you look well Lord Justin despite the circumstances. May I sit?" the older man says motioning to the table.

[The Flint]

"Of course, of course, can I get you some wine or something to eat?" Justin said, gesturing graciously.
