Danny's Adventure

[The Smith]

Danny crept through the doorway, and saw a staircase, and a hall. He could hear the the light cry of the baby from up the stairs.

[The Flint]

Danny kept to the walls where the shadows were cast, and where his feet were less likely to scrape the stones. He reached the stairs, and tentatively made his way up a few steps, hoping that if he was close enough to hear the baby he might hear the two Stark women as well.

[The Smith]

Danny had to keep creeping higher on the staircase until he could hear the voice of a woman weeping. After several moments a woman's voice said, "A Reaver, how could she do this to me. Why would she?"

[The Flint]

Danny held his position cautiously, frozen, pressed against the side of the wall as if he could meld into the wall.

[The Smith]

Danny heard Lady Elaine soothing the other woman.

Then he hard a sharp bark of feminine laughter from behind him. "Well boy can you hear from here, or must you move closer?" Their was a snide coldness in the words that sent a shiver up Danny's back. He turned and say Anya Stark behind him.

[The Flint]

"Hear what?" Danny replied, the idiot grin of the simple-minded that most lowland folk thought clansmen were anyway appearing on his. "I was looking for my room, and I heard a baby crying, so I came over here." (Cunning: 45)

[The Smith]

Anya raised a single eyebrow, "Is that true boy." She did not wait for him to reply, "That is quite kind of you... which one are you again?"

[The Flint]

"Flint," Danny replied, "But ya knew dat yah?" he said, "Danny." He added. "If ya point me ta the guest rooms I kin get out of ya hair."

[The Smith]

Anya pointed, and said, "If you ever want to nurse the babe let me know. I believe I can arrange it."

[The Flint]

Danny cocked his head, as if he didn't understand. "Ah.. thank you milady, that'd be most kind," he moved to shuffle on past her.

[The Smith]

Anya walked up the staircase and into the room with the crying girl.

[The Flint]

Danny moved away back towards the guest rooms.
