This elegant manor is the headquarters of the Lannister's in King's Landing. There attempts at keeping it secret have always failed due to heavy traffic of Lannister Men-at-Arms to and from this location.

Lord Baldwin flanked by Ser Piers and the commander of his Guard Elsbert Doggett enter the Manor. Baldwin turns to face them, "Alright I am here, and I will stay. Take twenty men and find my children, King's Landing could burn tonight and I want them safe." The men had started to turn, when Baldwin added, "Tell any Lannister you see to rally here."
Soon Lannister Men-at-arms were running about the city carrying the word, and looking for Elena and Allard.

Ser Steffen stormed into the manner, clearly furious about something.

The Lannister guards challenge the ragged four running to the Goldsmiths until Allard and Elena uncloak their heads, revealing their blond Lannister heads. They are quickly hustled inside.

Lord Baldwin rushes out to the Children and holds them close. He looks them over to make sure they are whole and well. Standing he looks at the two women before him. "Lilith Royce and Beatirce Flowers, I thank you. Now that my children are returned, we are going to ready. as soon as my men are ready we are going to leave, I offer you safe passage to Casterly Rock."

"Steffen stay here with the rear guard and wait for anyone else. I am getting my children out of the city."
Lord Bannister, with most of his men, and his children, and anyone else who wishes to travel with him makes way. Towards the West.

As Lord Baldwin is talking with Lilith and Beatrice, a dishevelled figure races round the corner, stopping in front of the Lord and scooping Elena up in her arms.
"Don't you two ever do that again! You scared me out of my wits! Oh, gods, thank the gods you're alright!"
She pushes back her hood and tosses out a sheet of long golden hair, wiping tears from her cheeks.
Elena hugs her tightly.
"Ella! Oh, Ella, you're alright, I thought you were dead or captured or something because... well..."
Rhaella smiles grimly. "I was nearly both. I had to tell them about 100 times I was a Lannister before the Hand's men would let me go, they thought I was lying at first because I was with him, but I threatened to have father kill them all and so they brought me back here." She turns to address Lord Baldwin. "What's going on? Where are we going, m'lord?"

Steffen was worried. As his uncle quickly departed the house, he turned to Lyle, one of the troublesome trio.
"Have you seen my brother? We were seperated during the melee."
"No." Lyle's answer was short and to the point.
"Damn!" Shouted the worm. And taking 7 knights with him, he left the house in search of Zachary.

"Thank you for the invitation, m'Lord," answered Lilith. "My family is here and I need to support them so will stay, but perhaps Beatrice will accompany you."
She looked into Sara's eyes. "You of course always have a place with my family but it would be good to know you are safe, and good to have another friend at Casterly Rock."
She turned back to Baldwin. "Could you have a messenger let my brother's know I am here? In the meantime, perhaps I can find a place with your archers?" She almost instanteously unsheathed her bow, nocked an arrow and let it fly out the window. It stuck in the eye of the large portrait of the King posted on the wall across the avenue.

Sara sighed.
"Of course, my lady. Perhaps we might see each other again some day."
She turned and embraced Lilith warmly, whispering in her ear,
"Ill write to Runestone when we arrive at Casterly Rock. Be sure to come to the wedding, won't you? I'm just sorry you won't see the look on their faces when we get there and they realise who I am, I'm sure you would have enjoyed that immensely. I know you and my brothers must stay here, but do tell Rhodri and Breyn I'm safe at Lannisport won't you? I shouldn't like them not to know and worry for me."
She turned away before anyone could see the tears in her eyes.
"Stay safe. All of you."

Entering Goldsmith's Manor, Ser Breyn searched around looking for Lord Lannister. Unable to locate him, he left a message with a Lannister servant. "Tell Lord Baldwin that I must return to the Vale to rasie an army. Also inform him that I am now Lord of Runestone as my father died recently."
He spotted Aunt Lilith, bow in hand, and went to speak with her. "I return to Runestone shortly. Do you wish to acompany me?"

Lilith hugged Beatrice warmly in return, and slipped two small vials into her pocket. She knew the girl had enough sense to be able to tell them apart. A young woman should have some protection out in the world.
"Your family would be proud of how you have comported yourself today," Lilith told her. "Good and safe travels to all of you" she wished the group quickly assembling in front of her.

"Breyn!" Lilith responded with fervor, "Glad to see you and to know you are well. What happened with your lord father?" Sadness crossed her face "He was a good man, kind even to a black sheep like me. I am happy to address you as my lord, though. His kingdom will be in good hands."
She paused then continued, "I wish I could go back with you to pay tribute to him, but I think he'd be the first to understand that my skills are better used here. I'll keep in touch. We remember"

Steffen forces the door open, his knights, and Nealon Spear in tow. His face currently represents a storm.
"Lord Breyn. News travels fast. I will be bidding you a safe journey."

"Same to you Ser Steffen. Fare thee well." Ser Breyn then left Goldsmith Manor and prepared for his trip home.

Hope you all are well and happy.
