The personal rooms of Lady Saesha. The place is incredibly organised. The desk is sorted into piles which are dated and ordered meticulously, with most of the space clear to be used immediately. Even her quills and bits of parchment looked to be in a kind of order. Her books were neatly arranged into shelves split into disciplines with marks on wood so they were easily identifiable.
The rest of the room was fairly sparsely kitted out, there was a fire place with a couple of arm chairs, a drinks cabinet for... drinks. Through a doorless archway there was a small dining area that she never intended to use for guests.

Percival arrives at the door of the Lady's solar. He knocks on the door and awaits the answer of Lady Saesha. He has the message from Lord Tully tucked up his sleeve.

Saesha didn't have time for servants milling around her rooms, not the patience, so she had instructed them to not enter unless she told them to clean the floors and dust. She called him in, not looking up from what looked like an impressively accurate scaled technical drawing she was resting with some thin charcoal and a straight edge.
"Maester," she greeted, looking up properly when she saw it was him, "how may I help you."

Percival stepped forward and offered her the small slip of paper. "My lady a Raven has arrived from Riverrun." He frowned slightly and wondered what this Tully was playing at.

Saesha took the note abd read the summons from Tully. "It was only a matter of time," she sighed abd stood, "thank you, Maester, come with me." Then she left to find her husband, "why did you bring this to me, rather than Lord Belric?"

Percival shrugged and said simply. "I thought you would like to know." He walked along with her, slowing to match her stride. It was obvious to him that Lord Piggy needed to make as few decisions as possible.

"I thank you for coming to me first, Maester, it is a great service. If anything else comes through you think I would be interested in," she smiled."be sure to let me know, would you?"

"Of course my lady. That will be my honor." Percival snorted at the idea of giving a letter to the pig directly. The Maester always had to bathe for hours after a meeting with him and it was far worse when alone with him.

"What is the snort for?" she asked, looking round at Percival, a curious glint to her eyes, like she knew.

Percival looked Saesha directly in the eye for a long moment. His mind playing with the notion of telling her the truth. There seemed to be many reasons to lie and only one to tell the truth. Well two. The first was he always preferred honesty to lies. The second was that he simply did not give a fuck.
"My lady what that snort was meant to entail was that Lord Belric Redfort is an inconsequential, inane ass who takes more pleasure in screaming then conversing. A man so flawed in so many ways that I constantly expect him to break apart on the wind like a powder puff. A man whose answer to any question of law, intrigue or lordship is violence." Percival could have proceeded on for quite some time but he decided that was enough. He was also quite pleased that he had spoken in the calm, understanding tones he used to inform a patient of a fatal disease. "The only brightness in this whole, dank household is you my lady. And that is why you need not worry with me bringing problems directly to your husband. The thought would just simply not occur to me."

Lady Saesha was in her study writing up plans for the port, the design of the place. She had a rule out as it was a technical drawing and her hands were getting lightly greyed by the residue from the paper and charcoal.
"Ser Simon" she called out to her sword sword.

The elderly knight entered brisquely, clad in his black plate, offering a respectful now of his head before raising his pale blue haze to meet her mismatched eyes.
"Yes, my lady?" he inquired, with an eagerness that made it clear he lived not for glory or wealth or accolades, only leal service.

"I thought you and I should have a proper talk before I leave for Riverrun. Obviously, you will be coming with me." She assured him, in case of him thinking she would not, considering she'd left him behind a lot recently.
"I appreciate you respecting my wishes to not often accompany me to the town, eventually that will not be a necessity, but for now, it is for the best."

"It is not the place of a knight to question the orders of his liege," he replied simply, as if it were truly as simple in his mind, black and white. "You need not explain yourself to me. Your wishes may as well be decrees."

"It gives me great solace to hear you speak so earnestly." Saesha commended, "am I right in thinking you know this castle better than any orher?"
