Ariel squeezed Shahrizai's hand. "Thank you, Shahrizai. It's rare that I can find any friends at all these days."

Shah laughed, piecing what Tyberion said herself. She started speaking to her translator, "I intend to stay here for a while, I don't know how much use I will have with the rest of the army any more. Perhaps I will go home finally. As for Myr, there are many guilds and merchants that control the city under legates or magistrates. For courtesans, we are taught to love and care for our patrons and make them feel they are special. My mother was gifted in singing and I inherited her voice. Some courtesans are artists, musicians, craftworkers, some even merchants and good with finances, so that if they are too old they may make a living for themselves with skills of value. Some patrons fall in love with their courtesans and do not even bed them. It is as complicated a system as the courts here." She folded her hands in her lap. "I am only beginning to know your lord, but he is a kind and...feisty sort of man I think. As for the queen, yes I have spoken to her, she is a beautiful lady indeed, she and Lord Selwyn are to be wed, I thought they would do it here." She took a moment to breathe and smiled. "I did not believe in the dragons until I saw them myself. They are beyond words my lady." "He is not my Lord." Lady Stark replied instantly, "Be we have grown close and very friendly as he recuperated." She smiled and her cheeks reddened slightly. Tyberion chuckled, and in Myrish said, "Very close. I extend an open invitation to all my friends. Would you like to be my friend?"

"Of course I'll be your friend my lord."
She spoke to lady stark, "I hope you find happiness then and become a strong ruler here when Lord Lannister has to return home. There is Queen Saeela to look at for a model."

Ariel squeezed Shahrizai's hand. "Thank you, Shahrizai. It's rare that I can find any friends at all these days." Shah lets her hand linger in Ariel's and laughs embarassingly, "Excuse me, I will go freshen up before my performance."

"Oh yes, and Lord Lannister swore he would take me to visit the Rock, and Oldtown. I want to see the high tower. And Harrenhal. And King's Landing. And maybe Dorne and Storm's End." Lady Stark smiled.
Lannister smiled, "I do like to please."

"I would like to see those places as well in time. Though they will be much marvelous sights to a young lady. I miss such enthusiasm." She smiled as well. "If you ever venture to Myr, my lady can always call on me and I will show her around. There is always interst to see a noble from westreros, especially one from such noble a family."

Lady Stark smiled, "I would like to go to Myr, but I doubt I will be afforded the opportunity. We trade very little in the North, and as such I have few reasons to pay a visit of state on such a far away city. But you are always welcome here. Make my keep home as long as you wish. We are still fixing it from its abandonment, but it is practically whole since it fell with a man defending its walls."

"When White Harbour is rebuilt perhaps you should be the first lady to open the north to trade with Braavos and other cities. I have seen what is to offer in the north, and there would be much demand for it. It would also make the north even more prosperous!"

"I would like that. Perhaps one day." Lady Stark replied.

"That will be a great day my lady, I hope I get to see it. I of course offer my help, it has been long since I have sailed, but I still feel the sea calling. By your leave I would like to speak with some of the guests."

Lady Stark nodded and smiled at Lannister, "I did quite well." He nodded and pet her head, as he studied the retreating form of Shahrizai

Dyther arrives to hear the hot Myrish woman sing. He wonders whether he'll understand a damned thing she says.

Rhaenys and Maekar arrive to hear Shahrizai sing. They walked over to the Myrish woman together.
"Lady Shahrizai, how do you find Winterfell? Has everyone been kind to you?" Rhaenys asked.

Shah bowed to the queen, surprised she had come after all. "I like it," she began in Sothorosi, "All have been so kind to me, thank you for coming. Lord Tyberion and Lady Beatrice are grand hosts, the latter is quite fond of you Queen Rhaenys." She looks around at the large hall filling with people, "I am surprised that so many have come to for an unknown like me."

"You are known to have come over with myself and my kin," Rhaenys answered. "Any man who seeks my favour is like to show an interest in you in the hopes that I will see. And as to the rest, the men are interested in your beauty, and the women wish to judge a rival. There may even be a few who've heard tell of your famous voice."
