The Goldsmith's Manor

[The Smith]

Piers nodded, "It is my juggling that won him over. Some day you should ask me to juggle for you. It would be stupendous." He swirled her close, and smiled.

[Deleted]

"Maybe I will ask you to, if it is as good as all that.You should teach me, I enjoy being able to do things others can not." she suggested, "Is it hard to learn?" Myranda asked, smiling at their closeness again.

[The Smith]

Piers nodded, "Incredibly hard. Yet I seem to recall you learn quite fast." He chuckled. He spun her his eyes scanning the crowd, then turned back to her.

"Most things, I like to think so," she said and grinned while he spun her, "We should schedule a time when you're not busy and can dedicate some time to showing me, I would be very appreciative." she said, looking back into his eyes.

[The Smith]

Piers smiled, "Anytime you wish. Simply come and visit me, and I will do my best." He winked at her. He slowed the dance as the music ended, and escorted her into the gardens, for a pleasant walk.

[House Celtigar]

Lady Ellyn sat at one of the tables idly watching the dwarfs attack each other from their pig mounts, with their wooden swords to the amusement of the guest present. She toyed absent-mindedly with her crystal goblet, given from Lord Baldwin and wondered if she should join her children and Ser Jon as they viewed the menagerie outside.

She tapped her fingers on the table as one of the dwarves finally managed to knock the other off it's mount and stifled a laugh at the sight.

[House Frey]

"Lord Lannister does know how to entertain," a warm voice says from aside. She smelt his breath before she saw his face. It smelt of peppermint.

[House Celtigar]

Lady Ellyn started suddenly "Oh forgive me, Ser. You move very quietly" she paused for a moment and continued as she looked at the newcomer "Yes, Lord Baldwin is a generous man. Or intimidating, depending on how you see him I suppose"

She took a sip of wine to hide her nervousness "And you are...?" she asked enquiringly

[House Frey]

"Ser Patrek Frey, son to Lord Rickard Frey and heir to the Crossing," he smiled, bowing with a flourish. "Excuse me. There's much to be said for taking people unawares. You never know what you might learn."

He eyed her clothing and her sigil. "Might you be the daughter of the proud Lord Celtigar?" he grinned.

[House Celtigar]

Lady Ellyn smiled briefly "I think, Ser Patrek, you are a flatterer. I am his wife, Lady Ellyn Celtigar"

"I must say I find all this opulence a little overwhelming, don't you agree?" she asked quietly

[House Frey]

"Lannister stands above all on the matter of wealth. I have no doubt this is overwhelming for many. Fortunately this is not my first spin around a Lannister event," he said, gesturing non-chalantly.

"Though the dwarves and hogs are a first for me. I daresay imps are a rather are sight as it stands, let alone on the back of a pig."

[House Celtigar]

Ellyn chuckled "It certainly reminds me of some not so impressive knights I met as a younger woman, though I may be doing the imps a diservice, that blow was well-struck on his foe"

She took another sip of wine and regarded Ser Patrek appraisingly "So, you're a regular guest at Lord Baldwin's parties then? I confess some surprise given how he must be viewed in some parts of your lands..."

[House Frey]

"I was once wed to one of his kin," he said with an empty smile. "Though I dare say I did not attend many of his lavish feasts."

He regarded her with a raised eyebrow after a moments consideration. He changed the subject swiftly. "Tell me, of which House were you born into, Lady Ellyn? Your very essence speaks of nobility."

[The Smith]

Lord you turned and smiled at Bolton, "Lord Blotter it is a pleasure to met you in person."

[Flex]

"Yes," Harris said, not making his distate of the man's ignorance noticeable. "As you may have heard, or not, I am a man of swift business. I have a young son who is lacking a wife." He took a sip from his cup of wine. "I wish to inquire if you have any daughters suitable for marriage."
