Reginold spat, "Apologize... you should apologize to every man in here."

Talyn nodded, "very well Reginold, lead the way, I assume there is a man here who can lend me me my weapon of choice, or have mine brought from the guard house."

Beatrice stood up and put a hand to her stomach.
Tyberrion said, "Gentlemen let us calm ourselves. There is no need for blood."
Reginold stalked out, and cried, "Some one give this man a fucking flail."

Talyn bit his tongue, hard enough to draw a thin line of blood.
"Lord Tyberion, if it will spare the lady discomfort, I can put off seeking recompense until the morrow, but I must have some redress in the matter. I may have had a worthless bastard for a father, but I am not so low as to let THAT man speak ill with impunity."

Reginold turned and looked back his mouth growing sour.
Tyberion sighed, "Then do it now man, stop drawing this out." He placed a hand on Stark's arm, and pulled her close. He began to speak softly into her ear.

Talyn nodded, and followed Reginold into the courtyard.

A man runs up and gave Talyn a flail. The same man gave Reginold a two handed axe. Reginold sneers and waits.

Talyn turned to look at Lady Stark and Tyberrion had joined her leaning heavily on a crutch.
"Lady Stark, Lord Tyberion, I thank you for a very pleasant evening, but I think it would be better if I returned to my camp and my men now."

Lady Beatrice screamed as Reginold fell lifeless to the ground. Running forward she knelt beside her follower. Tears pouring down her face she looked up to Talyn and screams, "Kill him." She does not seem to notice the blood staining her dress.
Men all along the courtyard draw weapons.

Talyn inhaled sharply. Typical.
"Lady Stark, Lord Tyberion, that was a fair fight, as you well know. Reginold had several chances to desist in his action, and I would have given quarter if he asked of it. If I am killed here, there will be questions. The several hundred men outside your walls will be leaderless, and may become hostile. And there will be yet more questions when the main army arrives. I think it better for both of us if I left at once."
The sellsword gave a sidewise glace to the flail near his feet.

Tyberion looked around, only Northmen had drawn their blades, "He is right Bea. Reginold knew what he was do..."
Beatrice wiped away tears, "I do not care. He killed him, he killed him." she was taking sudden deep breaths.

Talyn eyed the Northmen carefully, "Lord Tyberion, I urge you not to let her make this mistake. If there is a way to compensate the lady for the loss of her man, I am willing to hear it to keep peace."

Lannister hobbled forward on his crutch, "Bea I beg... do not kill him tonight. Place him in the cells and think on it."
Beatrice hiccuped amid her tears, "No... look at Reg's head. I want his head to look the same."

Talyn relaxed his muscles carefully, deciding how he would move when the Northmen came at him.
"If you kill me Queen Rhaenys will not come with her beautiful dragons." He told the girl carefully, although he was eyeing Lannister as he spoke, "Wouldn't you like to get to meet the beautiful queen and to pet her dragons and watch them fly?"

The girl stood her eyes suddenly hard and angry she charged at Thatcher and began to beat at him with her arms. The Northmen stepped closer raised their swords, but their faces became less calm.
Tyberion hobbled forward as fast he could, he cast a dark glance at Talyn.
