Richard looked out the window and thought of his nephew "The man has... hardened since I have known him. Few can say the war was good for them, but Belric found his place on the war path, he loved soldiering. I can't say I'd know. I thought of writing him, but since becoming Kingsguard I am uncertain if it's appropriate to maintain ties to my family as I used to."

"Few thrive in war. Your nephew. The Hand. Many of your brothers in white. That restlessness that keeps you awake at night takes time to shake off. I, for my part, was simply exhausted. And I think you should write to him. Ser Robb sees his father and sister regularly."

And I think you should write to him. Ser Robb sees his father and sister regularly." "I'm with you on that. The mad, power-hungry, and inexperienced seek out war." He lapsed into silence as he listens to him about Ser Robb. "Thank you for that. I shall write." he sipped wine and sat in silence for awhile enjoying the quiet. "Careful" her voice whispers to him. "Would you be interested in a little excursion tomorrow?" Asks Richard. He didn't know this knight the master of laws trusted, and Florent was a deadly knight, no doubt.

"What sort of excursion did you have in mind?" Ser Sebastian gave him a cautious look. He had a family to consider now.

The king has instructed me to take a few men and arrest or kill a man behind the false septons in the streets" Said Richard "my nephew had been set on it, and he was injured last night. The king has had enough with it,so my nephew and I, as well as a Ser Mallyn and a few goldcloaks. While I would not disparage a man I have not met, I would place trust in your skills . I think we could do some good."

"I believe you mean Ser Malkym. If he focused on his swordplay half as much as his grooming, he'd be as good as Gwayne Corbray or His Grace. Instead, he's merely passable. But my Lord Hightower trusts him, and whatever his personality flaws, he knows competence and loyalty when he finds it. But as for myself..." He sipped his wine. "I don't know. I have a wife and daughter now. I would be remiss to put their livelihood at risk. What do you expect to face tomorrow?"

"My apologies, I must have misheard Lord Hightower" said Richard "I cannot force you to do anything. Dissenters I imagine, though it seems they are being armed, for what specific purpose I cannot say. They mean this peace to break, that I know for sure, and if we can stop them that would be some good we could do, instead of merely staying in our castle, far above the city." (Persuasion 52)

(Success) "Well..." Florent swirled his glass thoughtfully before deciding. "We spent five years trying to take this city. I'd rather not have people say we lost it in five days. I'm in."

"Thank you" he says " I just hope we have the information to proceed. We meet at the gates tomorrow.
They'll talk of small things for a time then, and Richard will retire once it gets late.
