Camp Outside of Pentos

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"I just wanted to know what we are up against and whether to prepare my men to fight our way into the city," Kenneth said.

[The Stranger]

"As far as we know, the city remains open. The Braavos have stalled their advance. Heavy rain to the North has delayed their siege train," the guardsman says. "Seems the Norvosi and Qohoriks were counting on Braavos to bring the catapults and the like."

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"Do we know how many men they had planned to bring from the North? Can they still lay siege without the Norvosi?"

[The Stranger]

The guardsman shrugged his shoulders, "As to that, it's beyond me."

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

Kenneth nodded, he'd have to wait until he returned to Pentos to learn more.

Kenenth returns to the camp with the Lady Lysette, he sets her up in her own tent and then seeks out his accountant.

"Sondrat I want you to teach me how to read and write," Kenenth says thinking about the note the old woman had given him. "Chances are we are going to have some time on our hands with the Braavosi coming to place us under siege."

"Of course, Captain," Sondrat says, "I'll help improve your Valaryian why I am at it. You shouldn't be talking like a soldier to everyone you meet."

Kenneth sets a side time every day while the army is in camp to practice.
