After a while, they heard a female voice call out "There she is! Oh, and that must be her sister!"

The voice was followed by foosteps as Isolde Toland approached the two, calling "Helyn! How are you?" With her was a woman in her twenties who the Caron sisters wouldn't recognise.

"Helyn!" Isolde cried. "Is this Heidi? Good day to you. This is Eleyna, Mark's brother. Eleyna, Helyn is my very best friend here in Kings Landing."

Eleyna laughed.

"Then I am sure you must be my friend also, Lady Helyn."

[Helyn Caron]

'Isolde!' Ehlyn smiled as they approached. 'It is a pleasure Eleyna, indeed this is my little sister Heidi.'

'Hello.' Heidi smiled

[Marie]

"Well met, Lady Heidi.," Eleyna said.

"Seven hells, you really do look alike," Isolde observed. "How long have you been here, Heidi?"

She had an air of suppressed excitement about her.

[Helyn Caron]

'Only a day or two.' Heidi replied. 'My sister was showing me around.'

'Isolde has told me much of you Lady Eleyna, i have quite looked forward to meeting you.'

[Marie]

"Oh. Has she shown you around the city at all, or just the Red Keep" Isolde asked.

"Really? I'm flattered. I know your friendship has meant a lot to her recently and that's a good recommendation, as far as I'm concerned. I'm very fond of Isolde and I trust her to choose her friends wisely I know she missed all her friends at Sunspear when Mother sent her here with Mark."

[Helyn Caron]

'Just the red keep, i am still quite tired from my journey.' Heidi replied

'Yes, she is a very kind person, i enjoy spending time with her.' Helyn smiled

[Marie]

"Oh, of course. Maybe I could come with you when you go exploring the city itself. If you don't mind an intruder?"

"I'm glad. She's very kind, I agree, especially consideirng how young she is. Sometimes I think my brother doesn't deserve her," Eleyna said with a laugh. "Dear sweet Isolde, I wish she were my sister for true."

[Helyn Caron]

Heidi smiled. 'Yes of course you may join us, i should like to get to know my sisters friends.'

'Yes, she seems to have had a few ups and downs i must admit but she comes through them with a smile.'

[Marie]

"Oh good. And then we can be friends too," Isolde announced with a charming smile. "ANd you must come to my party, if I ever get around to having it."

"She does, definitely. My poor brother is his own worst enemy, it must be said. Mother hoped marriage would steady him but it hasn't, not yet. But you're quite right, Isolde can hold her own no matter where she goes. I hope she has done you the courtesy of inviting you to visit Ghost Hill some day?"

[Helyn Caron]

"party?" Heidi said het ears pricking at the words.

"indeed she has and you must join us at nightsong."

[Marie]

"Yes, I wsa going ot gather all the young highborn women in the capital that I could persuade to join Helyn and myself for an evening of dinner, wine and fun. So far I only have Helyn and her friend Summer, and now you. And Eleyna, she said she'd come if she was still here when it happens."

"Oh, of course we will. Two of my uncles have connections with the Stormlands as they wed women from the region - a Wylde and a Morrigan - but I have never been to the Stormlands myself. It will be fun," Eleyna said.

Jenna Grandison has accompanied her brother Ser Eldon and cousin Ser Erron Gower to the Red Keep and while they are training in the courtyard, she decides to walk in the gardens. There is no sign of her sister Iolande.

Seeing her cousin Helyn in the distance, she waves.

[Helyn Caron]

Upon seeing her cousin she waves. 'Jenna! you remember my sister Heidi? and this is My friends Isolde and Eleyna, we were just discussing a party.' Helyn said. 'This is out cousin jenna Grandison.'

[Marie]

Isolde smiled warmly at the newcomer.

"Hello, Jenna, pleased to meet you. You must come to the party as well."

"Yes, ewll met, Jenna," Eleyna murmured, pleased to see that Isolde's horizons were about to be broadened by the inclusion of two more young women to her circle. "I begin to feel old among you all, shall I leave you to your own devices?"

[Helyn Caron]

'No, nonsence Eleyna, i should like to get to know you better, i believe a woman needs all the friends she can get.' Helyn smiled
