"I hardly see you in the Library, when do you go?" He asks softly.
Sighing seeing as there is nothing yet from his head he turns to the Dornish child.

Gregor was busy dipping a piece of bread in a bowl of water close by, rolling it between his fingers to a ball. He shrugged and threw the ball of bread to the raven and looked at William.
"Late in the evening or early in the morning. Depends on when I need a new pair of books, otherwise I spend a lot of time by myself. There are many places where you can find solitude if you know where to look."

"I did at first. I am found under a pile of books in the library so I might have been asleep." He says. "I have only been coming up here since I was hoping there would be a letter from Seagard."

Gregor nodded. He remembered the last time he had recieved a letter from home, and he had felt the anger of the words build up inside. He hated his father and the rest of the Blackmonts with all of his heart, but mostly his father for abandoning him like he had here in Oldtown.
"Not recieving letters from home may be a blessing in disguise, it means that there is nothing of real importance going on back home. Be glad as long as there are no ravens bringing you words from home."

"Normally it would be the same for me..." Knowing his father always thought he would never amount to anything. "However with resent actions I had a letter sent home, in hopes for another reaction."

Gregor shrugged and gave the raven the last pieces of bread he had, before swinging his legs to sit looking straight at William instead.
"And what reaction would that be? They sent us all here for a reason, and we won't be leaving until our parents or Lord Hightower say otherwise, no matter how many ravens we send back home. The thing that happened at the parade was awful, but there isn't anything you or I can do about that to help. We are still considered children by the realm, and therefore our ideas and input is ignored by the adults."

"I was not looking to go home, but just a letter of acceptance. Any other thing would be more then what I was expecting.." He states leaning on the wall.

Gregor's left eyebrow raised a little as he listened to William telling him he wasn't looking to go home. Gregor would have loved to return to Blackmont and Dorne, but that wasn't going to happen, no matter how many letters he sent to his father.
"Acceptance? For what, may I ask? I doubt that your father will return with a answer quickly, they always seem to take their time in making their decisions that effect your life."

"Well...I sort of...saved the King." He says softly. "I know however I figured for a letter faster then most."

Gregor's face moved from a suprised look to one that held suspicion. He had heard about the chaos that had happened at the parade, but that a young boy had saved the king had escaped his ears.
"Really, how did you manage that? From what I heard, Lord Stark was the one who saved the King by sacricing his own life, and not some young boy from the riverlands."

"Well Lord Stark Carried him away, I was the one to mask the King and Lord Stark from any arrows with smoke so he could get away. To late for Lord Stark I am afraid..." He lets out a sigh, of course no body would think of the little thing.

Gregor nodded, not entirely sure that he bought the story that the boy was telling him. He sat quiet in thought for a moment, before he spoke again.
"Well, that sounds incredible, so what acceptance do you seek from your father? Hasn't the King or Lord Garnet thanked you for coming to his aid? And, how did you manage to create smoke to let them get away? Starting a fire takes time."

"Mostly yes, my father has always considered unworthy, House Mallister's words are "Above the Rest" and to my father I was not. And no... nether have done so." He says softly.

Gregor nodded, understanding where Mallister was coming from with trying to gain acceptance with his father. Gregor had always thought he had it, but as his siblings were born, his father had shown his true colors. He also noticed that the boy had avoided answering his question about how he had created the smoke, but he ignored that fact for now.
"That is understandable, we all want approval from our parents. I do hope that your action will make your father see that you are trying at least, there isn't much more you can do. And I doubt that the King will acknowledge your aid, since I think it would be a bit embarrassing to admit that he was saved by a young man and not his Kingsguard."

"I do not worry if the King would thank me, I understand he needs to keep his Reputation and Pride in check. I only seek acceptance from one man." He chuckles softly. "However I will aid their investigation in anyway I can."
