"The honor be mine," Brandon replied, "I know we early, but early is better then late, as me Old Nan used to say. We've brought good meat for the wedding, best mutton in all your lands, you know. Presents too, When ever is good the time for 'em."

Brandon nodded, "Wildlings is worst then ever, some are saying," Brandon said, shaking his head, "Just come in seeking the rape and plunder. You'd think they'd figure we ain't take kindly to them , on account we built a wall as ta keep 'em out." He said, speaking of the Wall as if its building, and the Age of Heroes, had happened yesterday.

Benjen frowned, and nodded, "After the wedding that may be an issue we must deal with. For now I am trusting the Lord Commander to deal with it as he befits."

"Aye. Still, It ain't like'n we invited 'em in. If a man darkens your doorstep and you ain't welcomed 'em like family, well they ain't got no cause for complaint you take offense." Brandon said, "Course you know how it is, Some times you invite a fella for a few meals, and the next thing you know, he's taken your comfy seat by the fire." Brandon said knowingly. "That's the worst kind of fella, you ask me. I'd take the wildlings over that."
