This time Benjen was more on his guard and he asked the guards to be presented to the septon in charge.

There is a small, and weary line of pilgrims headed into the sept. There are no "guards" to speak of, but a number of brown brothers are helping to organize the line. One of them may be able to point Benjen in the right direction.

"We seek a bed for the night and would consult with one of the senior septons here if we may."

Did your woman abandon him or something?" He says, glaring at Leilanna balefully.

"No," said Benjen. "Of course not. The child would not be newborn now. I speak of twenty years past. Perhaps you have a septon - perhaps even a septa? - here who is twenty years of age and was brought here as a young child, to be raised by the Faith?"

"Thank you. May we do so now? If our visit should prove...fruitful, I am sure a donation can be made to the good works that are done here."

Tytos: I know this is distasteful, but I've been invited to a new RP on a Discord server, discord.gg/xnjMU it's gonna be a little more casual than these forums, no combat system and more player-driven Jan 23, 2017 22:07:20 GMT -5
