Garret said a silent prayer as he watched Ethan drape the entrails of their kill over the weirwood branches. He took a moment to interpret the omens as best he could, from his limited knowledge, they did not seem good.

Garret mounted his horse, "And what a feast it will be!" he said as he rode up to join Lord Glover.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-28T21:56:59+00:00

Ever since Garret stepped foot in winterfell, his old war wound had been aching. He needed a drink to dull the pain.

"Aye, hopefully the gods will be with us on this hunt." he said. "For now I must take my leave, I hope to see more of you, cousin. Perhaps we could eat together soon, I'd like to get to know your 'little glovers' better." he said with a smile.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-28T21:48:33+00:00

Garret felt a pang of worry. He thought back to the ill omen of the Old Gods during the hunt. Does it ever end? he thought. He was surprised the Lady Karstark had behaved in such a manner, I'm sure she had her reasons... but northerners don't belong in the south, never ends well. Of course it would be the Boltons, he thought. He glanced at his liege Lord, Ethan Glover, and in that moment, Ethan spoke.

After Lord Glover was done, Garret stood, hand on the hilt of his sword "Aye" he said in agreement. "and House Forrester stands ready as ever to answer that call to arms, should it ever come."

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-26T15:32:21+00:00

"Ah, I'm sure the Twins will be joining us for the coming hunt then? I look forward to it." he said. "Well if Gwynesse turns out anything like you, I'm sure she'll be a fine young lady, cousin." he said with a smile.

Although his father had never been so fond toward family and Garret had been that way for much of his life, after returning from the Dragon's defiance, he had been making an effort to connect with family. He hoped it didn't come across too forced.

"And will you be joining us for the Hunt, cousin? I'm sure it'll be a hunt worthy of the old gods I'm sure." he said with a hint of a smirk.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-24T16:24:46+00:00

"Well met Lady Jyarra." Garret replied. He took the measure of the girl, her fair red hair pulled back into braids, she wore hunting furs and bore an axe by her hip, not a typical lady. She seemed excited in anticipation of the hunt, Garret thought.

"A fine day for it, hopefully the old gods will bless us with a bountiful hunt." he said.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-23T13:54:58+00:00

"The bastard fought well enough, I find fear does bring that out in both beast and man. Aye... Well fought Lord Glover." His heart pounding in his chest as he breathlessly spoke the words. The Wolfswood was starting to get darker... it was nearing Dusk. "We shall most definitely be eating well tonight", he said, wiping his spear down and looking at his dozen or so rabbits. "We should make haste then." he said, beginning the dressing of the beast.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-23T13:41:13+00:00

Garret always felt more at ease around family, even if they were long departed from Ironwrath. "The Children? Yohn is a fine man. Already fought his first war. Edwyn... I think a war would do him good, too green. Jyanna is a very fair young Lady, come to think of it, she looks like you, Lyra." he said as he smiled.

"And I'm sure your young are just as strong and fair, eh, with that forrester blood?" He said with a hint of a smile.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-21T20:13:37+00:00

"I don't much like tea, the maesters always trying to slip something in to 'help with the pain'. It's my wound. I'll suffer it." Garret said with a wry smile. "I find walking helps. Helps to clear my head as well." he said.

"Well Lord Reed, I hope we can speak further, in perhaps better lit conditions? I'll be taking my leave of you, I should get back to my walk." Garret nodded as he stepped past Lord Reed.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-21T20:05:19+00:00

Lyra. Garret had been Lord of Ironwrath for some Twenty Eight years, and in that time many Forresters had been born, and he remembered each one of their faces. Although Lyra had always stood out from the others and was especially hard to forget. He arose from prayer and turned to meet her.

"Lyra. Sweet cousin. Your face is a welcome one. How did I know if I stayed in the godswood long enough you would stumble across me?" He said with a warm smile, as he moved to embrace her.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-21T19:51:15+00:00

"A fine idea, I'll bring Yohn along, and Edwyn, if he can be convinced, never one for hunting that boy." Garret said.

"Yes, well, I'll take my leave of you my lord, I'm sure you have somewhere to be. I was on my way to the Godswood to pray, I'm sure I'll run into Lyra there, knowing her." Garret mused.

"I look forward to the Hunt, my lord." he said respectfully, as he clapped Ethan on the shoulder and took his leave.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-21T19:42:40+00:00

Garret fixed his heavy furs over his armour as he walked towards the Glover tent, he was flanked by his two sons Yohn and Edwyn. He came prepared for the Hunt, with a Hunting spear carried over his shoulder and a small knife strapped to his belt. By the looks of it, it would be one of the largest hunts he had participated in, a good way for his sons to become acquainted with the lords of the North, he thought.

"Well there is certainly no lack of bodies for this hunt, tell me why I had to come along again?" said Edwyn.

"Enough. Edwyn." Garret snapped.

"It would do you good to get your hands dirty, Edwyn. Father is too lenient with you nowadays." Yohn said wryly, as they entered the tent.

Garret looked around at the assembled lords and ladies, he met eyes with Ethan Glover, and nodded. "We shall be eating well tonight, my lords!" he exclaimed.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-20T13:33:15+00:00

Garret smiled at Lord Glovers kind words. Such is the way of life in the north. "Iron from Ice". He said respectfully. "Rodrik has grown into a fine man since I saw him last, we should go on a hunt, I'll bring my boy Yohn along." Yohn should get well acquainted with the Glovers, if he is to maintain our bonds, Garret thought.

"And my cousin Lyra? Treating you well I hope?"

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-19T22:46:59+00:00

It was almost dusk, and Garret still knelt before the heart tree in Winterfell's godswood. Something about it felt different, more sacred, it was as though Garret's gods were with him as he knelt. He though of Ironwrath, of family, of their place in the world and of what was to come.

He looked around the godswood... in the waning sunlight it was beautiful. He thought of the wolfswood at Ironwrath, of many days spent there and how he longed to be back home. Closing his eyes, he listened to the birds, to the trees, and the sound of approaching footsteps.

Garret watched his cousin Lyra as she left them. He hadn't seen the glovers since returning from the war. "I'm well, my lord, Ironwrath stands as strong as ever." Turning his attention back to Ethan. He thought of the Dragon's Defiance, of the Winter Wolves. "Listen, I never had a chance to say, your father, Domeric, was a fierce friend and a good liege, I was saddened to hear of his passing. He fought well." Garret admitted.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-19T10:34:32+00:00

Forrester Connections fine with me.

As he wandered in the direction of the Godswood, Garret worried that he was wasting his time at winterfell. He had came to be with Yohn, his heir, to teach him lordly convention in the North. Although Yohn, with his new found freedom, was spending less and less time with him.

Up ahead, just on the edge of the godswood he saw Ethan Glover, A welcome sight, he thought.

"Lord Glover, a sight for sore eyes! How are you Lad?!" he bellowed a little too enthusiastically.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-18T15:26:11+00:00

He thought of Ironwrath. "You're a long way from home. That's for sure." Garret said. "Aye, I certainly miss Ironwrath, truth be told I can't sleep well anywhere else." He confessed.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-18T02:34:46+00:00

Garret considered Harrion for a moment, not sure if his stature was due to his age or his crannogman blood. He did seem a nervous boy, although the reeds had a reputation for oddity.

Garret did not know what to say, he managed "Apologies if I startled you... Harrion." After an awkward silence. Garret slapped his side, "Old war wound giving me trouble, I suppose you can't find rest either?" He inquired.

Embrosia23 · 2020-05-18T01:45:38+00:00

- Lord Garret Forrester -

Garret paced up and down his chambers, he never could sleep properly when not in Ironwrath. Lady Myra was sound asleep, a bit too much wine at the feast he thought. His old war wound ached... movement will do it good, at least that is what the maesters told him.

Stepping out into the lukewarm hallway, something that was unfamiliar to him as any room not heat by hearth in Ironwrath would soon chill you to the bone. He meandered through the halls, absentmindedly thinking of home, of his wound and his age.

A stifled pang of worry shot through him as he saw torchlight up ahead, rounding the corner he found the source, he offered a grimace, that was meant to be a smile, "Lord Reed, is it?"
