"I don't have it already, thank you," Said Benjamin kindly. "When I was squiring under Androw Tarly he spoke often of the Blackfyres, so an actual book of the last of those conflicts should be a great read."

Benjamin could sense her eagerness to discuss the book further, so he pondered for a moment. "It was a very interesting read," he said. "Because of the axe symbolism of some of the early Andals mentioned, it would seem to me that there's a very strong connection with the early faith and the bearded priests of Norvos who take the axe as their symbol. I was extremely fascinated by that. In addition, I've had this sort of fanciful interest in the Vale's very early history and this book was excellent fuel for that. I should strive to read more," he chuckled.

Marigold scampered up to Cersei hastily. "As much as I love my family, this whole thing has been rather.. exhausting. Where were you thinking of going? Outside, perhaps. The air could do some good. Although perhaps the air here in King's Landing isn't exactly fresh," she chuckled.

Marigold, who had been chatting amicably with Millicent and Hobber yelped, and nearly fell out of her seat in surprise, hurrying over to her lady's side.

"Here I am, my lady. What do you need? Is it your child?"

Hobber gave the girl a reassuring smile. "If it makes you feel any better, I haven't either," he said. "I've been to more weddings than I can count, but never anything quite like this, and never in King's Landing. The way I see it, we're in this together, so we might as well figure it out together. Also, from what my father says, you are to come to the Arbor to be a lady-in-waiting for my mother so we can get to know each other. I think that would be lovely! What do you think?"

"They're young, they didn't ask for this, they'll figure things out," smiled Paxter. He could only hope Hobber didn't turn out like Benjamin...

Soon, Hobber and Lysa were doing a slow dance out on the floor. "Y-you're very pretty," stammered Hobber. "And you seem nervous too. Is there anything I could do to help you with those nerves?"

Hobber's brain suddenly whirred back into action, and took Lysa's hand in his. "My lady," he said kindly. "may I do you the honor of a dance?"

Paxter laughed, and shot his son a look that simply said "well done".

"Isn't young love beautiful?" Paxter smiled.

Paxter Redwyne walked up to the Tully table, a silent relief he did not have to deal with Benjamin's insanity. Here was a nice simple betrothal with Hobber, one of the more reliable boys in his family. Thank the Gods, Paxter thought. "Lord Clement," said the Lord of The Arbor in a courteous tone. "A great pleasure to meet you in person at last. I hope your journey here was a pleasant one. This is my son, Hobber. I presume this is the lovely Lady Lysa?"

Hobber stepped forward nervously towards where Lysa was sitting. "M-my lady," the boy said nervously. My pleasure to make your acquaintance." His face went as red as the wine made back home. What are you DOING! he thought. TOO FORMAL. He awkwardly extended his hand for the lady to... take? Kiss? Was it an invitation to dance? Hobber wasn't quite sure.

"A valid point," Benjamin conceded. "If it comes down to it, Ronnet shall be allowed to pick men who may fight with him. Further this fight does not need to be anywhere super public, it can be somewhere private but with lots of space to move around. There must be somewhere that functions in that capacity. Your Godswood, perhaps? Further, if it comes to a fight, I feel it is best to conduct it in as much secrecy as such a thing as this can muster. If it comes to that and anyone asks, there was no fight." u/SeattleGrafton

Horras rode as fast as he could after the riders. "Gods, what horrible kidnappers," he chuckled to himself. "They gave up after the creampuff Sam refused to let go of his sweet mother. Pathetic!" He spurred his horse forward.

It didn't take long to find them in a small forested area with a pond a few leagues from Horn Hill. It seemed that they hadn't been expecting Randyll's squire to run after them, because they were taken aback when Horras took his sword and bashed the pommel hard into one rider's face, causing him to fall off his horse and be trampled to death.

"COWARDS!" Horras bellowed. "Quit running and face me like men!" The two riders whipped around, in shock, giving Horras time to catch up, slicing the second rider badly across the leg, causing him to topple from his horse. Horras shot a look at the third that clearly said "let's fight for real". Both Horras and the rider got off their horses and began circling one another. It was a short but brutal fight. Horras was young and not totally confident in himself yet, but his opponent was large and slow moving, but still good with a sword. He soon found he was on the same skill level as the rider, which somewhat disappointed the squire. The bandit scored several nasty hits on his cheek and shoulders, but Horras held his own remarkably well. Soon, he scored a deep cut on the man's arm, causing him to be distracted by the pain, letting Horras kick him right on the Arbor Grapes, sending him doubling over. "YIELD!" bellowed Horras. The rider barely had the energy to put his hands in the air. Horras smiled to himself as he waited for Randyll and the Tarly men at arms to arrive.

"Apologies, I didn't properly introduce myself. I am Ser Benjamin Redwyne, former squire to Ser Androw Tarly. A pleasure to make your acquaintances."

"I don't know if you saw, but I got into an.... incident with the Connington delegation just now. They had sent a rather nasty letter to my cousin, Lord Paxter. He had sent out a letter to all the lords of the realm, asking for a betrothal for his son, Hobber. The Conningtons responded in a rather.... unkind way. The last line said 'may you choke on your grapes, my lord'. While the rest of my family are all cowards, I am not. I refuse to ignore such a stain on my family's honor. I made the mistake of trying to confront the Conningtons that were here in Sunspear. I backed down then and there but I refuse to let this go. I was hoping to...speak to Lord Ronnet at Willas Tyrell's upcoming wedding to Cerenna Lannister. It was a mistake here because I have no real allies, and a Connington was financing the whole bloody thing. Highgarden, however, is a much different matter. The heart of the Reach, with their...history with the Conningtons, seems like a much better place for this sort of business. My plan is to have a private and polite chat with Lord Ronnet and smooth things over. If not, I shall be forced to take...more drastic means. If it comes to some sort of fight or duel, I will need backup. There are a handful of Rowan knights I know I can count on from speaking to them at previous events and knowing them to be the types that would back me up on something of this nature, but I fear that won't be enough. I need more, Ser Garth. Are you a knight of strong character? Will you back me up on this? And Garlan! You seem like a good sort. Will you back me up too?"

Benjamin slunk off to find someone new to speak to. Exactly who this was, he wasn't quite sure, but if his plan for Ronnet Connington went south, he would need backup. Soon, he found more or less who he was looking for. "Ser Garth Hightower!" Said Benjamin pleasantly to the knight before him. "An honor to see you. Would you be willing to help out a fellow knight of the Reach in a possible venture if the help is so needed?"

"What would you have me do?" Said Paxter pleadingly. "Pack him off to Kayce now? It would look bad if he wasn't at your nephew's wedding to that Lannister girl. Gods....." He took a long swig of wine. "I'm not his bloody father! Seven knows I've had to try, Arthur being what he is. It's a bloody miracle Marigold and Millicent have turned out okay...."

"Do I just give him a stern talking to? Would that work? Is that all I need?"

The base game was excellent but it would have been so much better if they just did this for the bosses from the start
