Re: IC: To King's Landing
The caravan that was House Ashfield slowly wound its way to end this leg of the journey, at Blue Hall. The travel had been without incident, no Vipers of Dorn, no bandits, not even a deranged Hedge Knight, to offer some sport for the second son of The Lord of Poppy Hall. He was tired, thirsty from the dust of the road, and he wanted to sample the wares ( women) of Blue Hall.
Mathys saw that his twin sister, Pella, was somewhat nervous when upon the road. So he would ride along side of her, from time to time, and make a jape, or speak of matters of their youth, anything it lift her spirits. She was the most important person in his
life, even over his father and mother. It was ever Pella that rose to his defense, when they where children, and even today, she might intercede with The Lord, when Mathys went to far on a matter.
As they neared the end of this stage of the journey, a group of riders approached, and Mathys rode with the van guard to intercept them. The symbol of Blue Hall was seen, Mathys rode forth and raised his right arm in salute, and escorted them, so they might offer respects to his Lord Father . The face of an old friend was revealed when the visor was lifted, and a wide grin split Mathys face, when he saw Edric. They rode to Blue Hall, as the two old friends exchanged japes and gossip. What Mathys wanted to know most, was how the hunting was at this Hall, both game and women.
When the Household was getting settled in, Mathys went about the matter of seeing that the escort was seen to in a proper manner. He walked back towards the Hall, when Edric appeared and tossed him a practice sword, and inquired vhow his skill was. " Well, my friend, let us cross blades, and you can judge for yourself." He said with a grin.
