Tallahar stands in front of what remain of the Small Council.
"As the Master of Laws I one of the people in charge of the Commander of the Gold Cloaks. I suggest Ser Leo Leygood. A smart and trusted man he helped me at the taking of Winterfell. But tell me what you guys suggest."

"Lord Jon Royce has decided to stay in King's Landing," Horas says, "He has experience with the position, and the recent tournament has increased his popularity with the commons. He would be a good choice."

"But the man is already held down by Lord-ship and who knows when he must leave again. Ser Leo is a smart man and I trust him totally."

"The Royces have had no presence in the workings of King's Landing ever since Lord Rhodri resigned. Making Jon Royce lord commander of the city watch will allow them to feel included again, and is a suitable reward for their service. And as I have said, Lord Jon is both experienced and popular -- a combination well suited for the job."

"I agree completely with you Horas. But he is a Lord who knows when he may be called away for War or Lordly business we need a man we can depend on and that man is Ser Leo."

Cedric, whom had been sitting quietly for most meetings, speaks up.
"Lord Blackwood makes a good point. We already have a Tyrell in the Small Council, one of his bannermen would begin to look a bit uncouth as now there is no Royce presence. With the recent leavings of the former Hand, the people could begin to ponder why the Royces are not being included." Cedric looked around at the members of the council.
"Your decision is the more wise of the two, Lord Blackwood. Royce is a proven man, whereas this Leo is an unknown. You cannot expect the men of the Gold Cloak to follow an unknown."

"But what better man then. A man to prove that he is able to lead them that is the best way to have a mans loyalty."

"Unfortunately, most men do not think in this way, Lord Tyrell. They will prefer a name they know to one they do not."

"It all seems rather stupid to me to put a man like Jon there he is a Lord of Runestone he must look after the keep."

Horas nods at Cedric's words, then turns back to Tallahar.
"Lord Jon has already expressed the wish to stay in the city to act as a representative for the Lord Arryn. I do not think he is in any danger of leaving any time soon. Placing him in command of the city watch is simply putting him to good use."

"Very well then I see that you guys wish for this man to take the position I will go to him tomorrow and ask."

Jaeharys had left a note before he had left for Braavos. "Give the cloak to Royce. I figure he's learned enough from me to handle things."

Hope you all are well and happy.
