"There are several men in this house who have been raised to the faith, but none whom are from this region. We have few Northmen outside of house Manderly." He replied slowly.

"I know," Benjen asnwered. "My own mother is a Reed of Greywater Watch. I am familiar with the ways of the North, good septon. This child, if he is here, will be from the south. He'll look like either an Andal or a Dornishman. I know not which, except that he will be a little more than twenty years old. Although..."

"The babe might have been a girl. Do you have septas here as well as septons?"

He bowed his head, when there is a loud cry from elsewhere in the keep.

The Old man shook his head, but then bells began to ring, and ring loudly.
He looked around confused, "I do not know what that means?"

"Is there a sermon about to start?" Benjen asked. "Or danger, perhaps?"
