A tavern frequented often by the Dornishmen in King's Landing, run by a man named Rufio. It caters to the Dornish people's unique tastes.

Alario Sand sat on a comfortable cushioned chair, with his feet up on a rest. He was popping segments of bloodoranges into his mouth.
Loreza was sitting beside him, a cloak over her head. She was looking around suspiciously. She thought it was stupid to come here, where a member of their family might come in and see her, and report back to her father where she was.

A visit to King's Landing was always a culture shock for Brecol and Cereza--most likely it would be the same for any Lord or Lady of a small, and somewhat distant keep. The roads were all so full of the strangest and most exotic of people, and the city bustled with life and activity even through the latest hours of the night. It was, as yet, the the early evening as the pair strode down the lane, Brecol in the lead, anxious and happy at the prospect of meeting his cousin again--it had been a long while since they had spoken. "Come along, then," he urged her, "he'll be waiting."
Cereza smiled at his eagerness, and followed him into the tavern.
"Cousin!" Roared Brecol, and threw his arms wide around Alario. "May I introduce you to Lady Cereza Blackmont? My close friend; she has been as a sister to me these many years."

Loreza's eyes went wide when she saw Brecol, and she withdrew from a sight a bit.
Alario grinned in a way that most men would find threatening. "Brecol, I was wondering when you would get in. How was the road?"
He looked at Cereza and his eyes narrowed in appreciation. "Lady Cereza, you have my condolences for having to suffer Brecol for so long."
It wasn't long before Rufio had two boys lifting a couple of heavy, comfortable chairs for Brecol and Cereza to sit in.

A man in a cloak slipped into the tavern, and made for the bar.

Rufio the innkeeper approached the man. "Hiding from something, stranger?" he asked suspiciously.

"No," he replied. "It is only cold this far north. One red, if you will."

Cereza smirked at a private thought; "His chatter fills the silence," she answered with a good humored shrug, and took her seat, pondering Loreza speculatively.
"The road was long--what more is there to say? We're here in good health, and when you travel the mountain pass along the river there isn't much more for which to hope." He answered, reclining gratefully into the newly arrived chair. "Hello, there!" shouted Brecol with enthusiasm. "Loreza--hasn't it been too long!"

"No," he replied. "It is only cold this far north. One red, if you will." "You're a southron then? Where from?" he said, pouring him a Dornish Red. |

Alario grinned and pulled the hood from Loreza's head before she could dart away. She clenched her teeth and clapped her hands in his face. "You've ruined my cover!" she said angrily. Alario shoved her down onto a seat. "Loreza has flown the coup," he explained to Brecol and Cereza, chuckling. "She fears being in the city in case her family finds her and sends her back to Yronwood. Gulian stays in the Red Keep." |

He takes the drink in his hand, sliding the coin across the table with the other. "Then some man comes to me offering the world and it's riches for service on a ship," he grunted. "Well, lets just say I didn't see the world, and got robbed of whatever life I had." |

Rufio snorted, "you're a smart one. Next time someone offers you the world and its riches, tell them where they can stick it."

"She fears being in the city in case her family finds her and sends her back to Yronwood. Gulian stays in the Red Keep." Brecol's eyes grew stern, and Cereza lifted an eyebrow in concern. "You've given them no word of your wherabouts?" Asked Cereza "Certainly someone will be worrying..." "What business does Gulian have at the keep?" Asked Brecol lifting a glass to his lips. |

Loreza pointed a finger at Cereza. "Don't you dare tell them where I am," she warned.
Alario shrugged at Brecol's question, "you know Perros, his tendrils reach far." His eyes glanced over to Rufio at the bar as he said that.

Cereza pursed her lips in doubt, eyebrows raised, and said nothing.
"Ah, so they do," pondered Brecol. "I must see Gulian. He is a grown man now, to be sure, but I can call to mind only the image of a young tramp! What do you say, Cereza? Care to cut another notch in my family tree?"
She glanced sideways at him "As you wish, Brecol," she answered simply, musing over the three Yronwoods she had before her already.
