Lilith returned to her comfortable chambers in the Keep. All the interpreters were in a twitter about the upcoming wedding of Ser Steffan and Princess Daena.

Lady Lilith, recognizing that the ladies of the court had no where to meet regularly, established a regular afternoon salon where the ladies could have tea. She send invitations to Princess Daena, Lady Serena Lannister, the Ladies Tyrell--Dana and Haley, and all the other ladies of the court to join her when they felt so inclined. Interpreters were also always available so conversation could happen between the Westerosi and the Valyrians.

A very polite but lovely worded reply is sent to Lilith Royce saying that Haley Karstark wife to Ser Tallahar Tyrell will be there, and she will bring some delightful lemon cakes.

Lady Haley Tyrell was right, her lemon cakes were divine. So light, such a nice bite to them.
"So glad you could join us, Lady Haley," said Lilith, "I hope that the ladies of Westeros will be able to help heal the wounds that have come between the families of the land by sharing some simple home pleasures. How are you and your family? Have you settled in yet?"

"Oh yes my husband has been divine he is the most skilled and bravest knight in all of the Seven kingdoms."Haley stops and enjoys a rather large bite of a lemon cake then a drink of watered down arbor red.
"We are traveling to Highgarden soon so i mite be able to meet my new father and Tallahar may take his new squire the new young Lord Robert Hightower, his Uncle Lord Tyrell told him to make sure that the rebellious spirit is drilled out of the but"

Lilith warmed to Lady Haley, she liked her chattiness. "I think that Ser Tallahar will make an excellent example for Ser Robert to follow. Have you meet the boy yet?"
Lilith had been going to ask about Highgarden but given it had been under siege by Ser Rhodri so recently, she decided the young Hightower was a safer course of conversation.

"oh yes of course My husband will turn the young lord into a great knight for only the true way to reach greatness is to study under it......."a tiny tear runs down haley cheek." Thats what my father always use to say, Oh how i wish for my family i wonder if they were hit by the plague my little brother is only 9 and my father heir if he were to die i would take Karhold....." Haley quickly shakes her head and gathers her thoughts" Enough about me how was it to grow up in the Vale"

"We are living in difficult times, my lady, difficult times indeed. My heart goes out to you and your family. I of course had heard of the plague but had not the sense to connect it with your family. Please extend my condolences to all your family."
She continued after a pause to pat Lady Haley's hand gently and to hand her a plate of macaroons, not quite as tasty as the lemon cakes but quite appetizing none the less. "I think the Vale and the North are similar in spirit, harsh lands that fierce hearts."

"Yes my father always said to dear tommen my little brother you are only as strong as winter and we Karstark must always be 'the suns of winter'.... yes i miss them greatly but it will be nice to sire strong sons for Tallahar we have done many a time and i wish that his sons will grow to be as strong as he"

Lady Lilith grinned, "And it is such a pleasure to create children with one's husband, isn't it? I always think the children of lusty unions are the strongest."
She handed Lady Haley some more wine.

"I was a maiden at the time of the bedding but my husband knew what to do and was a very enjoyable thing" taking another drink of wine and feeling the effects of too much of the Arbor red start "Oh Lady Royce do you know of any ways of how i mite please my husband more and grow great with child."

Lilith nodded. "It is always good to hear of men who are pleasing in bed. Too many do not make the effort. I think that happiness in bed and the willingness of the bride to participate as often as her husband wishes are excellent starts, as are charting monthly cycles--you know of course that a woman is most receptive to a child in the middle of her cycle? There are also teas that can help some women."
She paused. "If you wish we can take a walk to the market some day. I hear that there is a crone there who is skilled in such things."

Lilith smiled, "Let us have a date then to go to the market. I always enjoy an excuse to look at the new fabrics and I know that I could use more ribbons."
A servant entered to say that the ladies should get dressed for dinner and Lady Lilith took leave of her guests. She hugged Haley warmly. "I look forward to going to market with you very soon."
