Re: [D5, EA] The Lady, The Lyras, The Longshores (Closed)

by **Yoren longshore** Sun May 17, 2015 9:22 pm

"
Your choice, of course. My lady: we will meet again this afternoon, then I hope to make more smalltalk."
Yoren smiles a genuine smile: "
but let's get back on track with business. Would you mind signing a contract on our bespoken terms, I have bad experiences with purely oral agreements. Also: is there any other issues that lies close to your heart that I may assist with?"
Yoren asks as he procures an exquisite pen made from a feather foreign to westeros.

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Sun May 17, 2015 9:41 pm

"
Certainly. Let us both sign an agreement that you will provide two units to House Marsten, one infantry, one bowmen, for a period of, say, sixty days, in return for the friendship of House Marsten, with a view to improving House Longshore's standing in Westeros, provided the forces of House Longshore do not commit actions that may bring House Marsten into disrepute while in House Marsten's service, travelling through Marsten lans, or the lands of House Marsten's allies."

by **Yoren longshore** Sun May 17, 2015 9:48 pm

Yoren writes the text but stops afterwards: "
May I add a clause: if for any reason Longshore wish to be released before the agreement is done, be it from foreign intrusion or death in the family, the troops may be pulled out of the agreement, but they must then serve the remainder of the period as soon as the matter is solved. Is that an acceptable clause? Do you have any of your own?"

by **Kevan Lyras** Sun May 17, 2015 9:50 pm

Kevan was silently following the negotiations so far, after all his role was that of a bodyguard. He adds to Corinne's suggestion:

"
Maybe, we can also include the names of the discussed commanders of House Longshore's units in the agreement?"

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Sun May 17, 2015 9:52 pm

"
Yes, in your circumstances, that is acceptable. And Ser Kevan speaks wisely. We should name the intended commanders. I suppose we should also add that this agreement is dependant on you remaining heir to House Longshore, if not the head of it."

by **Yoren longshore** Sun May 17, 2015 10:01 pm

"
Yes I'll write it down."
Yoren writes for a bit more before putting down the pen and starting to sand the paper, while blowing on it carefully. He then rsises his voice a little, asking Corrine: "
could you deliver this to your mother? Your signsture is enough, but it is nice to have hers too, you may come by with it this evening."

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Sun May 17, 2015 10:11 pm

Corrine nods as she takes the contract from him.

"
I will endeavour to gain her signature too, though I must be honest and tell you that I already intend to make a request of her today that she will probably dislike, so you may have to make do with just mine."

by **Kevan Lyras** Sun May 17, 2015 10:17 pm

"
We do battle differently to be honest, we hit quick hard and with everything you got. If you fail to break you withdraw and try again from another angle. So jousting is the same for me, I think, just on horseback"
nodding to Ser Kevan "
Maybe I'll end up fighting with you or against you in the melee, you and time will tell but regardless I will be there"
he shrugs "
Today I have Lord Mallister, a great jouster and favorite to win and probably out for my skin to boot"

Kevan chuckles at Athelstan's explanation. "
Well, I haven't heard that comparison before, after all the "
on horseback"
is what makes it a bit more difficult than a good ol' skrimish, and it is usually, what causes the most severe injuries..."

"
Me personally, I have nothing against you Athelstan and I look forward to face you in the melee, but it would look strange, if I fought side by side with you, after the trial, where you faced of against Ser Baelon, from my own household. I hope you understand"

"
I had my share of experience with participant abusing the joust's to settle their own differences. I wish we could just have a fair tournament, with the best jouster winning. I wish you luck and hope you do not get injured...even more"
he adds with a glance at Athelstan's eye, his voice honest.

by Athelstan Sun May 17, 2015 10:20 pm

"
My opponent today is a real jouster, not like the rest which participate to acquit themselves well and nothing more it seems, or perhaps I'm rather lucky, we will have to wait and see"
nodding to Ser Kevan "
I bear him no ill will at all, he was doing a job, nothing else, and it shall be fun to fight you"
facing him with his blindside "
That is if I can see you coming Ser Kevan"
chuckling at his misfortune.

by **Yoren longshore** Mon May 18, 2015 6:25 am

Yoren smiles: "
I can demand for no more than that you try. If not, I'll easily be able to make do with your own signature."

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Mon May 18, 2015 6:36 am

"
Thank you, my lord. Is there anything else you would discuss with me at this time? Or do you wish to save something for your lecture later?"
Corrine asked with a confidential smile.

by **Yoren longshore** Mon May 18, 2015 7:16 am

"
We may save the rest for later, then we will know how your visit with your mother went."
Yoren smiles at Kevan and Athelstan: "
I may escort Corrine back to her pavilion, if she wishes, then yiu may stay here talking as long as you wish."
Yoren stands up to leave, waiting for Corrine if she wants to leave with him.

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Mon May 18, 2015 9:53 am

She stood to follow, rolling the contract into a neat tube.

"
Yes, I ought to move on now. I have several matters to which to attend. Ser Kevan, do you wish to come with us, or stay here?"

by **Kevan Lyras** Mon May 18, 2015 8:53 pm

"
My opponent today is a real jouster, not like the rest which participate to acquit themselves well and nothing more it seems, or perhaps I'm rather lucky, we will have to wait and see"

facing him with his blindside "

chuckling at his misfortune.

Kevan cannot help but laugh at Athelstan's latest comment. "
I will make sure to announce my presence, should we face of in the melee!"

As Lady Marsten and Yoren have finished their conversation and are about to leave, Kevan joins them again. "
Yes my Lady, I will come with you."
he turns once again to Athelstan reaching out to shake the Ironborn's hand "
It was nice to meet you in person. It is always interesting to meet people face to face, especially somebody as infamous as you!"

by Athelstan Mon May 18, 2015 8:56 pm

Shrugs his shoulders "
I was tried by the wrong reason, that is all I can say"
shacking his hand in return "
Remember one stain does not make an entire person, Ser Kevan"
as Athelstan only accompanies them outside the Longshore pavilion and watches them go away.

by **Yoren longshore** Tue May 19, 2015 12:00 am

"
Good luck Athelstan, though I doubt that you will need it."
Yoren states smilingly before leaving.

[ooc: I'm fine with /scene, unless Yoren wants to say anything in particular on the way to the Marsten pavilion]

by **Yoren longshore** Tue May 19, 2015 12:30 am

Only some chatter. Unless Kevan wants to share something, that is.

by **Kevan Lyras** Tue May 19, 2015 11:04 pm

I am fine with [/scene]
