The Rambling Rose

[House Fossoway]

A modest inn in King's Landing. The owner claims that he got the name after a Tyrell he met in his youth, and is where most Reachmen stay when they are in King's Landing.

[House Fossoway]

Ser Bransen Fossoway, the heir of Cider Hall sat at table in the common room, enjoying a quiet dinner with his sister, Lady Alanna. They had arrived in the capital earlier this morning, along with some servants and guards. Ser Bransen knew that they had come a lot ahead of time, but he felt a little time away from his father would only do him and his sister good.

[Tallahar]

Ser Tomas Corbray walked into the tavern knowing that this place was a favourite place of men of the Reach but also fine food. Taking a table not far from the Fossoway, Tomas gave his best smile to the tavern Wench ordering the Roast Chicken and white arbor wine. Nodding at the woman close he flashes a open smile to the male.

[House Fossoway]

Ser Bransen returned the man's smile with a nod, though he made no move to invite the man to their table. Lady Alanna looked at Ser Tomas for a while, before she offered him a small smile, before she took the cup of wine in front of her and took a sip.

[Tallahar]

As the wine arrived with two extra goblets Tomas looked over at the Reachmen, "Would you like to join me in this fine Arbor vintage. As old as I am."

[House Fossoway]

Lady Alanna studied him and smiled.

"And what vintage is it then, stranger?" Ser Bransen said without looking up from his plate.

[Tallahar]

"A 470 I believe. I was but a thought it my fathers mind. So how about it care for a glass?"

[House Fossoway]

"You could be welcome to join us, though I would like to know your name before I invite you to our table. I am not in the habit to accept wine from someone I do not know, it might be bad for my health, my good man." Ser Bransen said and looked at the man for the first time since he had come over.

[Tallahar]

"Now where are my manners. Ser Tomas Corbray, Heir to Heart's Home until my brother marries. By your sigil yor are a Fossoway correct. Not a bad apple are we?" Tomas fills the other two goblets.

[House Fossoway]

Ser Bransen grinned, while Alanna gave Ser Tomas a big smile.

"I am Ser Bransen Fossoway, the heir of Cider Hall, so no I wouldn't say I am a bad apple. That must be the Fossoways of New Barrell you are refering to. So please have yourself a seat, Ser Tomas."

[Tallahar]

Tomas moved over closer to Ser Bransen, "Here you are a class of summer." Placing the goblet in front of him.

[House Fossoway]

Ser Bransen took the cup of wine to his lips and took a small sip.

"A good vintage indeed, Ser Tomas. So what has brought you to King's Landing? I thought that you, Valemen, rarely ventured outside your precious mountains, except to serve the dragons bidding." he said adding a smile.

[Tallahar]

"A Knight must do what is asked of him. But enough of that Ser Bransen tell me of your home. I have never been to the Reach would very much like to venture there one day."

[House Fossoway]

Ser Bransen shook his head at the man's comment, but let the topic go anyway.

"Cider Hall is a beautiful place, it lies at the fork of both the Mander and Cockleswent, with a lot of orchards on our lands. How is.." Bransen said and became quiet for a moment "Heart's Home?"

[Tallahar]

Tomas smiled, "Heart's Home it sits close to the eastern side of the of the Vale. It is amazing the mountains rise high with snowy white tips. Streams flow throughout the land making the soil rich. I love the Vale."
