Ser Euric's Manse

[The Smith]

EUric laughs, and eyes his son, "So drunk then?"

[Ser Beric Dayne]

"Not the entire time," he laughed, "though, you hit closer than the truth than I did I fear. I need to be away from court for a time I think. This life does little good for my liver."

[The Smith]

Euric looked and smiled, "Well I just received a letter that should allow you to take a little trip to Braavos."

[Ser Beric Dayne]

"To Braavos? In the middle of a war? Why in the seven hells would you send me there?"

[The Smith]

"Because my friend Lord Harro Monte is in desperate need of soldiers, and has sent a letter begging me to send aid. He was an early supporter of Saella, and a life long friend. I owe him." Euric said.

[Ser Beric Dayne]

"Oh, very well then. I'll go," Beric said, draining his ale and feeling the pound in his head lighten slightly. "What are the immediate stakes of this war on us, though? What do we stand to gain or lose by involving ourselves?"

[The Smith]

"My only gain is assisting an old fried." Euric replied, "The political matters are not important to me. I have talked with your sister, and she is willing to spare some men, how many are you comfortable commanding?"

[Ser Beric Dayne]

"Whatever you think your old friend needs," Beric replied. "I know little of the geography across the narrow sea and have had little enough chance to command men in the past. Truthfully, I think judgment on the matter would be best made between Lord Monte, Sister and yourself."

[The Smith]

Euric nodded, and smiled, "We will give you five hundred men to serve you then. I will leave it to your sister to choose the men to serve herself."

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

Rhaegar arrives to see his father before he departs the city.

[Flex]

Euric is sitting in his favourite chair, reading a book.

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

In his favourite chair again, Rhaegar looks to see the title of the book, expecting to see his father's favourite book.

[Flex]

It was a big black book with selected poetry. "Not going to say hello, son?" Euric asked, not looking up.

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

"You were engrossed in your book, father. Though I suppose if I were to wait till you were finished, I would be waiting her until the sun rose once more," he smiled.

"Hello father, I have missed you."

[Flex]

Euric smiled and set the book down. "You should visit me more often then. How has the feasting treated you?"
