Dacey opened the door, wearing a dark red shirt and riding pants, a cloak loosely pulled around her shoulders.
"Percival?" she inquired, a little disoriented, like she'd just woken up. She thought a moment and took a step back to let the maester to her room, if he wished.

Percival looked into her room like it was a trap for a moment and then sighed. He replied dryly, "Dacey I have just received a letter about Lord Goodbrick." He walked into her room and held up the slip of parchment from the raven.

Dacey accepted the letter, read it and sighed, having never heard of a Ser Jon Nightgrove. "I'm not sure what he wants us to do, go fetch them?" she asked, looking to the maester, who she assumed had more experience in such occasions.

Percival smirked knowingly, "If you recall this Goodbrick had many requests for his accommodations here. A landed knight will shortly be bankrupt by these kinds of demands but also unable to expell such a guest with out causing insult. Supplies should be carried to Ser Jon and a representative of your house sent." How did this one come from the same family as Belric the pig and Eddy the sheep? This one has at least half a brain in her head.

"I suppose I shall have to go then," she said with a slight frown, as presenting their house was once again down to her or Hoster. At least the tower wasn't far. "I will leave you in charge in the meantime," she added, and then wondered if Edmure had left without letting her know, seeing as Percival had brought the message to her. "Did Edmure leave already?" she inquired.

Percival looked her in the eye and said simply. "To be completely honest I did not even investigate the matter before delivering the message. He cocked up the other matter so largely I thought it would be advisable to simply present the letter to you." He gave a small shrug. "If you wish I can simply hold onto the missive until after he departs. Then it can arrive."

For a brief moment, there was a ghost of a smile on her face. "I appreciate it" she said, handing back the message. "Though I don't think withholding it is necessary. I will send this Jon Nightgrove some grain and see what has been decided about this Armistead situation first. If anything at all," she added dryly. Decision-making was clearly not one of Edmure's strong suits.

"Your brother came crawling to me for treatment last night. Apparently he was wounded taking a fourteen year old girl. She was quite savage. Broke two fingers and two ribs." Percival replied simply with a small smirk. "He rides soon to that idiotic challenge."

"What?" she asked incredulously, quite ready to dismiss that comment as she was rather sure Edmure would never do anything like that.
"Did he say when?" she inquired.

"No but since I did a masterful bit of work on his ribs he would be ready to ride quite soon." Percival smiled darkly. "The ride will hurt a great deal. By the end he will feel like he fell down all the stairs in the Hightower."

/////////////////////////////////////////
2nd of the 5th Moon
Alyx sat on Dacey's bed, her Lady's clothes lay beside her. She had started to fold the bunch of leather pieces and ugly, man-like, jerkins, but now it was time for her 20 minute break (after 5 minutes of actual work). Handmaiden's life had been proving to be pretty tough compared to what she was used to, especially working for this barbarian they now called a Lady. She always wondered if she had wandered into the wrong room and had been taking care of the things of one of the male Blackforts. Not that she would have been bothered to be surprised by one of them entering the room... With here... Alone in there. Any of them, except for that drunken cripple, that man was the epitome of everything she hated.

Dacey entered the room a while later, carrying her bow and a quiver. Her brow furrowed slightly in confusion. She'd told the Vance girl upon her arrival she had no use for a handmaiden, and had assumed Belric had been trolling her when he'd assigned her one, yet here she was... again. "Can I help you?" she inquired.

Alyx was startled by Dacey's sudden arrival, she always wondered if her Lady slept in the Kennel's; by the looks of her, she might as well do it. The young handmaiden jumped to her feet as soon as the door started moving and went back to her task.
"No, ma'am. Just getting your clothes folded and stashed." Alyx said with a faint fake smile. ". Should I prepare a bath for my Lady, next?"

She looked from her folded clothes to the Vance girl, seeing through the glorified servant's fake demeanour. "If you would," she replied, and placed her bow on the cupboard, leaning against it and crossing her arms. The irony of Alyx being of nobler birth than her was not lost on Dacey. She studied her, thinking for a while. "What did you have to do to end up here?" she asked. "I imagine it was bad," she added, a corner of her mouth twitching ever so slightly.

"Sorry, my lady. I don't understand your concern." Alyx said with fake innocence. She rose and went to the adjacent chamber where the bronze tub was located, starting to prepare the salts for the bath. She always wished to have some hemlock at her disposal for bath preparing reasons. "It is an honor to be serving a Lady in the great castle of Harrenhal. Every girl my age would be desperate for such opportunity."
