"Well the important issue is that our houses our bound together with an alliance. I do not care which of your sisters do the binding." Tyberion replied.

She eyed him with relief.
"That is generous of you. I will make alternative arrangements if Kyma cannot be found," she said. "But I don't believe that to be the case. My lord, do you have any children besides Owen?"
She had a notion that Lord Lannister had a number of bastards but wasn't sure about trueborn heirs.

"I have many blessed children. I have been quite fortunate in that fashion." Tyberion smiled proudly.

"You are lucky, then. Are any of them daughters?" She asked.

Tyberion nodded, studying her closely.

"What age are your daughters, and what are their names?" Rhaenys enquired.

Tyberin smiled and held up a hand with each name he raised a finger, "Aranya, 20; Jeyne, 15; Elena, 12; Dyanna, 11; Sara, 5 and little Gemma is two." He raised his pinky on the other hand.

"Forgive my bluntness, it may be important. How many are trueborn and how many bastards?"

Tyberion shook his head, "I did not count the bastards. I do not have enough fingers... or toes for that matter."

"I see. It may be that I can help you find husbands for one or two of them. I shall let you know in due course. In the meantime, I hope you'll excuse me. I had hoped to speak with Lady Stark."

Tyberion nodded, "Of course, Lady Stark wishes to speak with you as well." He smiled and bowed slightly, "I should let you know that Lord Frey and Reed plan on holding the Moat against you." He motioned to Stark, "But talk with Beatrice, she has been bubbling over with excitement to speak with you for ages."
Lady Stark curtsied, and smiled wide.

Freys and Reeds working together? That's can't be right. They're sworn enemies. But Rhaenys kept her own counsel as she turned to the young Lady Stark.
"Lady Beatrice, I regret that I kept you waiting so long. I hope you will give me a tour of Winterfell when I have the time. I would like to get to know you and your castle."

Lady Stark smiled, "It is a pleasure to met the daughter of a great woman. I have heard so much of your mother. It is truly a shame I never got to met her. And if you would allow I would like to visit your dragons after showing you my keep."

"We'll go together," Rhaenys promised. "I have not had as much tiime as I would have liked with the dragons, and I miss them. But you must be careful, Lady Stark. Rhodrys broke his wing and Elannyria is blind. It's hardest for her, poor thing."
She smiled sadly.
"We shared the three dragons but Elannyria was always 'my' dragon. Our bond was special. I was on her back when she was blinded. It's lucky we both survived. You've never heard a dragon scream, Lady Star. It's not a pleasant sound."

Beatrice frowned, "That is so tragic. But I have always wanted to see such beasts, and the chance can not be lost. I shall seize it. I hear you are to marry Selwyn. He is such a brave man. He must be so handsome, and strong."
Tyberion glanced at the girl and hid a smile behind his hand.
