She pointed to a white bench that sat beside the orange lilys and overlooked a fountain. "I didn't mean to intrude. Perhaps you can tell me more about some of your travels then and how it is like to be far from home. I have always thought of my home here at King's Landing."

Is it enjoyable? What do you do to keep busy? Either way I may end up being committed to court, so I should know."

She did not like him shading his life from her and frowned. "To me and to many others court is enjoyable. I am privaledged with the company of the Queen and other upstanding ladies." She withdrew her arm from him and folded her hands in her lap as they walked. "I tend the Queen, and I usually read poetry or write it in my spare time. One day the Queen will deign me a proper lady and I will be on my own I suppose."

Is something wrong?" He tilted his head, and scanned the lush growth.

Aidan nodded, "There is not much to talk of. I am boring, while I find you eminently interesting." He looked around and then continued, "I missed my land. There is good work in the free cities, but they are not my home. This is."

"Well I'd like to know more about a man who finds me interesting and who came to these events an unknown to everyone. I don't think there is anyone in King's Landing who would not be interested to hear your story." She bent over to sniff at some pretty flowers.

I do not feel the need to share with the entire court."

"The free cities are not all alike. And even over there such a thing is very rare. Mostly the sons of highborn rise, just like here." Aidan replied. "I spent most of my time in Lys, Pentos and Myr. But I saw Braavos, Lorath and Qohor as well."
