Re: [D5,MM]Noblesse oblige

"
And the matter of the stolen chest?"
Corrine asked. "
As I said before, if Baelon will return the gold to the restoration effort, where it belongs, House Marsten will match the value towards helping the smallfolk and the rebuilding."

Her tone was light, but her eyes were scrutinising.

"
Corrine,"
said Gwyneth sharply, "
there is no stolen chest. I'll assume you misspoke, as trying to imply it was stolen without any accusation would be rather beneath you. The chest you're referring to was confiscated as evidence, and every coin of it will be accounted for. I agree that spending it on restoration is a fine idea, and once its verified to be of no use to the investigation that will be precisely what we do with it."

"
Then shall I assume that your husband misspoke when he blatantly flaunted contempt for me to my men?"
Corrine challenged, looking icily between Gwyn and Daveth. "
You two should get him in line, as his arrogance is making him an impediment. Perhaps he should be reminded that, as a bannerman's bannerman, he is not of "
equal station"
to me, in fact owes me an apology for his behaviour, and that being a Prince's bastard does not actually make him royalty."

"
Your conflict with your good-cousin is, I feel, a family affair, and one that is best handled in familial surroundings. Rather than be side-tracked into personal issues at this juncture, let us please focus on the task at hand. You raised a question about the money. It has been answered. Let us leave it there.

"
Are there any other queries on other matters that should be addressed here and now?"

by **Gwyneth Drakeson** Thu Dec 10, 2015 5:03 pm

Gwyn took a breath, held it for a moment, then said, "
Daveth is correct. Lets press on."

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Thu Dec 10, 2015 5:14 pm

"
Since we established that you have no task for me, is my presence still required?"
she asked Daveth, her face a mask of stone.

"
Presumably, Master Daveth is assuming you are already heavily burdened with the ongoing investigations, Lady Marsten."
Nathan smiles. "
I will certainly need your presence when we assemble the various merchants. Your authority and forceful personality should do much to cow them into a more reasonable outlook."

"
As far as this afternoon, I was under the impression we were going to pay a visit to House Darry, to see if their charges were more than simply injured pride."

Not that injured pride was exclusive to House Darry.

"
We shall certainly do that. And I will gladly accompany you to meet with the merchants. I rather meant whether or not there was anything more to discuss."

by **Daveth Coldbrook** Fri Dec 11, 2015 11:14 pm

Daveth looks across at the other attendees, taking their silence as assent. "
No, Lady Corrine. I believe this meeting is concluded. Thank you all for your time and generosity. Please, let's keep each other updated on our progress as we work on this issue.

"
In unrelated matters, Lady Gwyneth, is Maester Leopold available? I'd like for him to look at my leg injury. I can't really get a good angle on it for proper treatment.

"
And Lord Benedict, a quick word with you before you go, about a personal difficulty I'm hoping you could help me with."

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Fri Dec 11, 2015 11:28 pm

"
You shall be kept appraised,"
Corrine says stiffly, standing and leaving, after giving everyone a polite yet cool nod.

by **Benedict Marsten** Sat Dec 12, 2015 3:21 am

"
Of course Master Daveth."
Ben says solemnly.

"
I've come across troubling words that a part of the population will strike very soon, we should be prepared to deal with it if the right measures are put in place... I will talk to Aemond about these problems."

by **Gwyneth Drakeson** Tue Dec 15, 2015 3:22 pm

Gwyn nods at Daveth. "
I'm sure he can make time for you,"
she replied to him. "
Come to our pavilion once we're done here."

by **Daveth Coldbrook** Wed Dec 16, 2015 7:34 pm

"
Thank you."

Daveth then walks off a short distance with Lord Benedict, for privacy, for a couple of minutes [done via PM], before departing.

[/thread, as far as I'm concerned. Yoren, still waiting for confirmation from you about the distribution of payments. Everyone else has confirmed.]
