On the day of Lord Goodbrook's expected arrival, another raven arrives. In an entirely different script, it's message reads,
Lord Blackfort,
I, your sworn sword Ser Jon Nightgrove, write to inform you that Lord Osmynd Goodbrook has become my guest. His wife suffers chest pains, and he has asked that he and his entourage be allowed to rest on my land while she recovers. I command but a tower and the grove bearing my family name, but I can manage to host them for a few days. They have shown respect by not hunting my land without permission, and do not unduly abuse my commons.
If you are not familiar with my land, it lies west of Harrentown, after a day's ride down the Green Pass. There are signs clearly marking it.
Your servant,
Ser Jon Nightgrove

/////////////
18th day of the third moon
Percival came here directly from speaking with his lord. He sends a message to his Lord's uncle asking for information about the pro Targaryen forces in King's Landing and the Riverlands.
Then he sends a notice of the wedding and the tournament to every where his Ravens fly. He gives all the details as his Lord commanded.

1st day 5th moon.
Seasha arrives at the Rookery with a sealed letter, the stairs seemingly not bothering her at all, despite her delicate condition. She looked around for the Maester.

The Maester walked out from the back room. "Yes my lady?" He bowed respectfully to her.

"Good afternoon, Maester," Saesha said with a smile and a small dip of her head in recognition of his bow, "please, call me Saesha," she offered, thinking it was about time they were on less genteel terms.
"How have you be faring here? Better recently I hope?"

"Besides the pain from where my jaw knitted badly, my recent stay has been good." Percival replied. "How have you been faring?"

Saesha leaned against a wall, casually, "I am sorry for that, my husband only knows one way of solving his problems, I am trying to help him with that, but well..." she raised a hand as if it were with the gods.
"I am well, many thanks, this one is not causing me too much trouble, thankfully, " she placed a hand on her stomach to show she meant the unborn.

"That is good. Would you like me to examine the child? I have all my instruments down in my chambers, but it is only a couple of floors below us." Percival replied in a respectful tone. He bowed his head to her in admiration.

"I suppose I have put it off for long enough, after you send my letters I should be pleased to have you examine me, in case there is cause for concern," Saesha replied, like it was a bit of a annoyance rather than a necessity for safegauarding her child.

Percival bowed deeply to her, "Do you have letters to send? Anything you send will be strictly between the two of us my lady. I would never report your correspondence with any in the keep, no matter what they do to me." He smirked and bowed his head.

"That sounds as if the correspondence of others is not allowed such privacy," she said with a smirk in return, though he did brin important letters to her had not her husband.
"I thank you for your discretion, maester, it does you great credit and gives me great comfort," she held up a letter already sealed, "this is for my brother, The King."

"I often have a chance to review most letters. So if you wished to know their contents all you need do is ask." Percival replied and took the letter to the king. "Thank you my lady. And if you have any sensitive letters I can make the come and go with with out any one's eye on them."

"I don't intend on ever sending any, but that is good to know, "she replied, watching him as he hopefully set about sending it, "but of course if I receive any, , I would hope they would come straight to me, but I am sure that is the case, if there is anything you think I should hear, I would always be grateful."

"You said you had letters earlier... is it just this one?" Percival asked curiously.
