Talyn snorted, "I'm someone whose not going to identify themselves to anyone who won't do him the same courtesy. And stand up. I'm no more a lord than you are."

James frowned, a bit confused. "As I have said, I am James Rivers. I serve Lord Oswell Tully. I was asked to keep such to myself until a safe time, or until I found out whether you were with or against us."

Talyn nodded, "Ah. Lord Tully. And I imagine Drumm and Greyjoy are with you. And Also Dawnrose. You sailed from White Harbour to around Saltpans, where you were to march south towards Harrenhal in attempt to intercept a meeting between Thaddeus Thatcher and the Queen, capturing or killing Thatcher, and rescuing the Princess Kyma. Is that right?"

James stared at him in disbelief. "Yes ser, but how do you know that? It was to be a secret mission...and you are Thatcher's son...but you are traitors aren't you? The Queen told us you had betrayed us."

Talyn smiled, "That was my plan Rivers, together with Lord Selwyn. We discussed it before I left for Harrenhal. You were not the only ones with a secret mission." His smile faded, "Unfortunately, it's all been a major fuck-up every step of the way, but you can tell your lord that the princess has been safely rescued at least. Are you in contact with Lord Selwyn or her Grace the Queen?"

James shook his head, "Aye, a great fuck-up it was. We were not expecting to find so many men here."
James nodded to the woman in the tent, assuming it was Princess Kyma, "How is it you rescued the princess if I may ask?"

"An ignoble story that, better left for another time," Talyn replied. "What does your commander intend now? Clearly Thatcher does not intend to come out of Harrenhal, and there are too many men around to target him at any meeting he may hold. Will that portion of the mission be abandoned?"

"From what I understand the Queen still intends to meet with him, though an ambush is out of the question. She has advised my lord to stay out of site for the time being. We have been rpobing the camps outside Harrenhal, and as it stands the Dornish and measters are with the Queen, though we have no idea who the Westermen serve. She had entered into talks with Lord Mallister, Baratheon, and Royce at Lord Harroway's Town. I know not how they went, only that we are to remain out of sight until she calls on us."

Talyn nodded, "Petra Bettley commands the Westermen. My man met with her. She is a crafty old bird, but her host is mostly old men and children. She will not give battle against us, and would not be too much value if she sided with us. Still, I have need to speak with the Queen on matters most urgent. Do you know if the path is clear to her party? And who commands there? I should not like to have my head seperated from my shoulder if I encounter a Lord whose as astute as your own, and decides one Thatcher is much the same as another."

"I know not who commands at Lord Harroway's Town, only that it is housing Mallister, Baratheon, and Royce. The Quwwn is expected to be coming to Harrenhal soon, if she is not on her way yet. I oul no advise beinging your men with you, we have bee nwarned not to let a force of any size to get close to the town. Your men are welcome at our camp though."

"With due respect, I think we'll remain separate for the moment. Some of your men may not have gotten the message regarding our being on the same side. Would your Lordship be willing to have one of his couriers relay the message back to her grace that Princess Kyma is safe and sound, and that we will come to her as soon as she is away from Harrenhal? It wouldn't do to get recaptured after all."

James smiles and nods, "Of course, we would not want any fighting to break out. I myself will bring word to the Queen once I tell Lord Tully who you are and why you are here. Her grace will be most happy to here of your freedom, for both of you. Is there anything else you would like me to relay?"

Talyn snorted at River's suggestion that the Queen would be happy to see him.
"Only that we await her pleasure, and you might add I suppose, that my men are anxious to rejoin the army and participate on bring that monster and his goons to justice."

"Of course Ser. I will get the message to her with all haste. Take care, and should you or your men need anything we are only a short distance to the north." James bows to Talyn and the others gathered before leaving to retrieve his sword and horse.

He is escorted from camp, and sent on his way without hindrance.
