The Silver Squire

[Helyn Caron]

'I felt like a change.' she smiled. 'I was readin a book about kings landing.';

[House Frey]

"Oh, and the scholarly type as well. Do you read often?" she asked.

[Helyn Caron]

'I love to read.' She smiled. 'Read and ride,'

[House Frey]

"Oh, then you must come see the library we have at the Twins. It becomes larger and larger with each caravan that passes through," she beamed.

[Helyn Caron]

'I should like that very much indeed, thank you.'

[House Frey]

Lyanna bounced up in her seat and clapped her hands excitedly. "Oh, I will speak to father on the matter," she said jubilantly.

"I assume you must speak to your father."

[Helyn Caron]

'Yes, i shall write him.' She smiled

After making enquiries as to suitable lodgings, the Grandison party arrives at the Silver Squire. While he helps his sisters dismount, Ser Eldon sends his lieutenant Ser Erron Gower inside to ask for lodgings.

[Lord Gareth Hightower]

Ser Erron enters the tavern and asks to speak to the owner.

[House Frey]

Ser Erron is directed to the bar.

A tall and dark middle-aged man enters the common room through the door behind the bar. His short hair and beard are flecked with white, his clothing practical but well made.

He reached a hand out in greeting. "The name's Everett. What can I do you for, ser?"

[Lord Gareth Hightower]

Erron took Everett's hand.

"Ser Erron Gower of the Stormlands." he said. "My cousin's party seeks lodgings in Kings Landing. Do you have room and if not, can you direct us to somewhere that does?"

[House Frey]

"It's been busy with the tournament, but most can't afford my prices. We still have a handful of rooms left; how many would you need, Ser Erron?"

[Lord Gareth Hightower]

Erron calculated quickly and then said...

"We'll take all that you have left. We have twenty men and arms and ten archers as well, but we'll billet the extras elsewhere."

[House Frey]

The owner nodded. "Only a dozen rooms left," he told the knight. "Charge is a silver a night. Rooms are big enough for two," he informed.

[Lord Gareth Hightower]

"Done." replied Erron. "We'll take them all."
