The Great Hall of Storm's End is smaller than would be expected for a castle so massive, though it can still seat five hundred easily, even more if people are crowded together. It is located in the Drumm Tower, several levels up from the base, so it sits directly above the Knight's barracks, below which is the soldiers' barracks. The thick stone and oak, however, muffles any sounds that would come up through the floor of men carousing, and the high table is cut in the shape of the Stormlands.

Servants hurry in all directions throughout the Great Hall, readying it for the feast to welcome the King and his court to Storm's End. The Hall has been bedecked in banners, the gold and black of House Baratheon as well as the black and crimson of House Targaryen.

A woman in a fine green dress and a cloth of gold headpiece is strolling down the opposite direction. There is a massive man clad entirely white scale mail behind her, with an axe hanging from his back. Behind him is another woman, wearing a sleek dress of red and black dornish silk, she has a wry smile on her face.
"Why hello there," says the woman in the gold headdress, "I don't believe we've met."

The woman looks slightly puzzled for a moment, before the woman in back leans over and whispers in her ear.
"OOOH Lady Anni Targaryen... my husband's sister-in-law, I feel such the fool, why did I not recognize you before."

"Oh... I see, that is rather disappointing, I had hopes that you might like to join Becca here, as one of my ladies-in-waiting..." the woman says, "but if your husband insists, I suppose there is naught that can be done..." She frowns.

The Queen laughed, "Well... I don't know if you wish to annoy your husband, I would hate to pry..."
"That's what i'm for," the girl in the black and red silk dress says with a giggle behind her hand.
"Just so," Queen Morgan confirmed.

The girl snorted in an attempt to conceal a laugh, and the Queen clucked at her maiden disapprovingly.
"I appreciate your dedication, as much as my husband appreciates yours. If Prince Maekar approves, than I would be very pleased to have you."
