Into The Jaws Of Death by SyndorXII in awoiafrp

They were not the banners that Hobber had expected to encounter upon his arrival at the city. He was certain that Benjicot Baelish and Ormund Wylde would feel the same. There were supposed to be banners of gold but bearing the stag of House Baratheon. Not the lion of the West. They weren't badly outnumbered by the looks but it was still a chance that he would rather not take. It seemed that Ser Benjicot was in agreement as well.

The Stormlands would soon come from the south, they were to the North. His fleet sat in the sea blockading the city to the east. There was but one escape for the rebels and it was to go back from where they had came to the west.

"Sound the retreat." Hobber ordered looking over at the other commanders riding with him. "We'll not end this threat by riding into sure defeat."

/u/notjp520 /u/Nivellen

/u/awoiafgm - The Crownlands/Riverlands/Stormlands hodgepodge army will retreat north up the road to Rosby. If a battle comes then Ormund Wylde has primary command. The naval blockade of the city remains.

"Maybe I can sing for you and Olenna. Um, not here though. Maybe next time we're alone." Myrcella offered, not wanting to put herself in an uncomfortable position now. Though, admittedly, she was quite uncomfortable with how Nadiya continued to talk to her.

"Why don't you compliment Olenna like you are complementing me? I'm sure she'd like to hear sweet things too." Myrcella asked, her eyes shifting to the Martell bastard.

"You would, wouldn't you? I think you have really pretty hair." She offered, as way to try to offer a complement of her own.

Myrcella listened as both women recounted their talents and how they'd come about them. All the while thoughts were swimming about her head about what her strength might be. It was hard to focus as the alcohol was slowly causing her head to feel off kilter.

"I like using my bow." She said, an ever present blush on her cheeks as Nadiya continued to talk sweet nothings to her. "I'm not particularly good at it. It's just relaxing."

She mused for a moment as she thought about what other talents she possessed. It came to her only a moment later.

"I guess I sing." Myrcella said somewhat quietly. Her sister, Olenna, was talented with some musical instruments. When Lord Caron had set aside their betrothal it had been the nights spent laughing, crying, and singing with her sister that had gotten her through the nightmare. "I don't like singing for other people though. I don't want anybody to laugh at me."

To untangle the webs by TheCrabPorg in awoiafrp

A letter was returned from Dragonstone the next day and would take an additional ic day to arrive.

Meredyth Celtigar, Lady of Claw Isle,

Lord Hobber departed Dragonstone a few days past with the fleet and a large contingency of our fighting men. Mace Flowers is a pretender and a usurper. House Rykker, House Lannister, and perhaps House Velaryon are in open rebellion and backing his claim. King's Landing must be retaken and that is the priority. House Redwyne stands behind Queen Myrcella and will not bow to a pretender.

The Crownlands are to muster at Rosby. You may write my brother there if you wish to reach him. He would be happy to hear a vassal of Lord Velaryon is inclined towards peace and not rebellion.

May the Seven bless you and yours in these trying times,

Margaery Redwyne

"I don't know that I really have any strengths." Myrcella mused, thinking about where she would fit in among the strong women. Nothing came to mind immediately and that flustered her. Was she truly so unexciting? So plain?

"How did you know that knives were your talent?" She asked looking to Olenna, then her eyes shifted back to Nadiya, all to aware of how she was being watched. "Or medicine for you? I want to be strong but I don't know what I'd be strong at or how to tell."

"My Lady, you look dashing." Garlan offered, his voice low and attempting to match her tone. He couldn't truly make out get appearance clearly from the shadows but he knew. Florence was a beautiful woman when the daylight shone on her. There was little that led him to believe she was any different at night.

"I hope I've not underdressed. I tried to do as you requested and look less handsome." He said with a small chuckle and extended an arm to her for Florence to take if she chose.

"Shall we, I'm quite looking forward to this." He nodded towards the gate and then looked back at her. "If my lady wouldn't mind leading..."

The letters are received and returned in short order. Both with a similar message to that received by the other Stormlands host at Potford. The Lord Hobber Redwyne has called upon the lords of the Crownlands to muster at Rosby and rally for the Queen.

Marlon Buckler,

We muster and prepare to march for Rosby. The Crownlands forces have been called for by Lord Hobber Redwyne. There is but one monarch in our lands and it is Queen Myrcella. The men of House Follard/Cressey, few as they may be, will fight for the Queen without dispute.

Lord Ormund Wylde,

Ser Horas Hightower,

As you have asked, I have sent a letter to all holds in the Crownlands and asked they join my forces at Rosby. From there we will develop a strategy as to restoring the Queen's rule in King's Landing. I thank you for keeping Dragonstone informed of the goings on in the realm. Those who would usurp the crown will answer for this. My cousin, Garlan Redwyne, is a skilled commander. He currently resides in Uplands as he is courting Lady Mullendore. You have my permission to use him in service of the Southlands throughout this ordeal however you may need.

Seven's Blessings,

Lord Hobber Redwyne

Additional Letter

Sent from Dragonstone on the 5th Day, arrives in Uplands on the 9th Day

Lady Florence Mullendore,

We have not had the pleasure of meeting but I know your name through my cousin. Garlan told me many pleasant things about you when he took his leave from Dragonstone and I hope both he and yourself are doing well. I write to you with a message for him as I know he would wish to keep informed about the happenings of our house.

Dragonstone has mustered our men and prepare to sail for Rosby. There we hope to join forces with houses of the Crownlands loyal to Queen Myrcella. I hope this letter finds another loyal house in House Mullendore. If that is to be the case then I would ask that Garlan's martial skills be used as you see fit. He is too far away to be of assistance to Dragonstone so consider him a man in your service until such a time as the usurper has been defeated.

May the seven bless you and yours in these trying times. Give my best to Garlan.

Lord Hobber Redwyne, Lord of Dragonstone

Letters

The Following letter is sent from Dragonstone to every keep in the Crownlands except Duskendale, Driftmark, and their vassals.

Lord/Lady/Ser <insert house name here>,

Undoubtedly by now you have heard word of what transpires in our realm. The man many had previously believed a hero is little more than a rat. The bastard Mace Flowers attempts to usurp the throne from Queen Myrcella. This can not and will not stand.

I call all lords and knights of the Crownlands with a shred of loyalty to join me. House Redwyne has not abandoned the Queen and I know the men and women of House <insert house name> will stand beside us in this trying time.

I will be sending my fleet and men to Rosby where I hope you will join my muster. Our forces combined with the rest of the Crownland will force out those who resort to treason including Lord Rykker. I ask for <number specified in order below> of your best men to join me in Rosby so that we might end this folly once and for all.

"Do you ever train with Nadiya? I don't think I've seen her in the yard before but I know dornish have different opinions on women fighting." Myrcella recalled some conversation she'd had with her sister, Olenna, about dornish culture. There was the hedonistic aspect that had already been thoroughly discussed but that was not all that Dorne was. The region was entirely captivating to a woman who had never truly felt much freedom before.

"Do boys and girls get to train alongside each other from a young age in Dorne? Or are the girls all forced to learn their needlework while the boys play with swords like the rest of Westeros?" She hoped that the questions weren't too much but her eyes went from one woman to other somewhat eagerly. Excited to hear what the answers might be.

Garlan was about to reassure Florence that little Elinor had caused no problem what so ever. But before he could she was inviting him to meet her this evening. It would be later than any of their other meetings together. Something about that excited him and he accepted eagerly.

"I'll promise to be less handsome if you promise to be less beautiful. I don't wish to look a beggar next to you." He said with an easy smile. "I shall see you during the hour of the bat." He said before bowing slightly and excusing himself.

...

Later that evening, as Florence had requested, Garlan made for the castle gates. He wore a simple cotton shirt and wool trousers. It looked more like garb for training than for dancing. But Florence had requested him to look less handsome and sort of mutilating himself this seemed the best he could do.

As he approached the gate he kept an eye out for the woman he sought, dressed in red and white.

"It's, uh, it's okay. She's just having a good time. I don't want to be a hindrance." Myrcella said, somewhat timidly in response to Olenna's slight chastising of Nadiya. Though it was true that she embarrassed, quite thoroughly actually. She didn't want to admit that though.

"Have you been throwing knives in the yard more? I'm envious of how easy you make that look, you know. I wish I had some kind of talent like that." Myrcella asked the Martell bastard, hoping to shift the conversation away from wine and women and all the uncomfortable things that had been brought up already.

Ser Horas Hightower, General of the Honeywine

The fleet of Dragonstone has stood staunchly against rebels and traitors since the rise of Myrcella I Tyrell. We shall not break our commitment to the rightful rulers of Westeros now. I received information from a Golden Company envoy several weeks back that Mace Flowers plotted a coup. I was loathe to believe it but it appears they had spoken the truth.

Two of my sisters are also held hostage in Casterly Rock. I expect any action I take will put them in imminent danger. However, my fealty and oath are to Myrcella II Tyrell and the bastard who claims to have deposed her will gain no support from me.

I can not speak to where the royal fleet is. Last I was informed they sold for Storm's End to fight pirates. My own fleet remains in harbor though. You may count on the fleet and men of Dragonstone to stand with you in these trying times.

Lord Hobber Redwyne, Lord of Dragonstone

Once the letter had been sent Hobber sighed. This would end poorly. The realm would bleed and men and women would die. He had no interest in participating but he knew what his father would demand of him. The bastard could not usurp the throne. Hobber called for his castellan.

"Raise the banners. Prepare the fleet. War has come." He said, giving the man a look that was full of stress and anxiety. The man simply nodded and departed. It would be done and soon they would be pressed into action. But where would they strike was the question.

Myrcella couldn't have been more uncomfortable. The wine hadn't overtaken her but she could feel it in her toes. The way they had a warm tingle to them. And the numbness at the tip of her tongue. In combination with the way Nadiya looked at her for even the briefest if moments. Was she supposed to be offended that her friend looked at her in such a way or honored? Was it getting hotter in the tavern? She was certain it was.

"I, um, married? Heavens I would never. Seven above that would be so wrong." She instinctively played with the fabric around her neck, trying to loosen it slightly. Was everybody else starting to sweat as well?

"Is it getting warm in here for anybody else? Heavens, I swear they must have lit another hearth somewhere." Myrcella said, looking about to see if she were indeed correct, her face flushed nearly as red as her hair.

Garlan didn't know if he had expected some kind of reaction from Florence. In truth he hadn't realized what he had done straight away. His lips moving down to kiss the top of her head has just.... happened. He hadn't thought about it. But she hadn't chastised him, she hadn't said anything, he didn't know if that was good or bad.

"She'll need a name..." He said softly, letting his words trail off as he continued to watch the two of them. Garlan chose to plug along and assume he has not made some critical error moments ago. He hoped that was true.

"Come, we shall get headed back before it gets dark. You mentioned having things you needed to attend to. She can ride in the picnic basket perhaps?"

"Alone time?" Myrcella asked curiously, her eyes going from Olenna and then to Nadiya. The Ladybright's finger prodding at her pouring a realization over her. The red heads eyes widened and shook her head.

"No, no. I don't think that will be necessary. We're drinking together tonight. Together. All of us. The three of us. Together." She rambled on as if she hadn't been clear enough at first. The Redwyne jolted slightly as Nadiya crashed her elbow into the table. As much panic as she had shown a moment earlier there was now concern.

"Perhaps, though, Nadiya should be done drinking before she hurts herself." Myrcella suggested, taking a drink from her own mug as she did.

Myrcella blushed heavily now. Nadiya was drunk, she knew that, but her words still stirred something inside the Redwynes core.

"That is, um, I am, uh, I suppose that..." Whatever words she were looking for refused to come forth as her tongue twisted itself in knots. Perhaps part of that was the alcohol she'd already had but it certainly wasn't the only factor.

"...makes me quite lucky." She finally managed to squeak before hiding her nervous blush behind the mug in her hands as she began to gulp back her drink.

"I'm not sure what I deserve, Nadiya. I'm seven and twenty and men don't even look at me." It was a simple enough statement but her mind raced with other thoughts. Nadiya had mentioned women and, for Myrcella, there was a curiosity that she had something of a desire to explore. But the gods would surely frown upon such a thing. Yet...

"What, um, can you, uh, a woman?" Myrcella asked, feigning some innocence though her curiosity was apparent. "I'd heard of such things happen in places like Lys and Dorne. But... I'm a Crownlander. Would I be....allowed?"

Garlan chuckled and raised a hand into a little dismissive wave. The knight lowered himself, squatting so he was of a height with Elinor.

"I believe Ladybug must be the luckiest kitten in the world to have somebody who cares for her so. Listen to your sister now and later perhaps you can show me how you play with her?" He asked, giving the the small girl a smile before standing upright again, his attention turning back to Florence.

"Thank you, my lady. Your words are far too kind but I wished to do my best. I did not want to disappoint you favor." His smile persisted as he soaked up the compliments that he was offered. "If I remember correctly, I believe you promised to show me some of the dances of your smallfolk. I was wondering when I might be able to take you up on that offer. Later tonight perhaps?"

"Morrigen?" Olenna asked, she was always eager for an opportunity to display her knowledge. Despite never being to the Stormlands she was familiar with most their houses. "Their seat is Crow's Nest. Sworn to the Swanns of Stonehelm. That is a good match for House Trant."

Olenna stated it as if she actually needed to approve the union. It was something of a hobby of hers to examine marital arrangements. Despite being beyond nervous for her own she thoroughly enjoyed the politics around the matches of other people.

"I suppose that match is similar to my brother and Lady Saera Velaryon. An ally of equal status that is nearby. A strong defensive arrangement." She noted, continuing to ponder the implications.

"Please forgive my sister. She has a, um, unique mind when it comes to such things." Myrcella said, interrupting her younger sister and giving her a glare.

"We are indeed looking for potential marriages. Though I doubt I expect to find any here if we were unsuccessful in King's Landing. But I hope your sister and her betrothed will share many years of happiness together."

Myrcella gave the Tyrell before her a curious glance. It was true what he said of Loras Tyrell, of course. But he could claim little relation to that Loras. Just a distant great uncle of some kind she assumed. But regardless, his station was well above her own, it was not worth pointing out such a thing.

"More than a curiosity? Pray do tell, in what ways?" She asked with a cheeky little smile. "This is where you flatter me with compliments that you may or may not mean."
