A quaint, small stone cottage sits a small distance away from the kennels inside Harrenhall. It has just enough room for one or two to live inside, with a small hearth for warm fires.

4th day of 5th moon.
As if she didn't have enough to do, Saesha went down to the... hovel seemed more appropriate, to discuss the days events with Aelison. After having found out she did kill the dog.

Answering the door half dressed in a night shirt , hair a mess and clearly still drunk from the night before, Aelison shook her head. "Come to gloat", she asked,"I'm sure this would suffice that my peasant ass did what I was told." She tossed the collar on a table.
"The grave is 'round the back of the cottage. If you want to see it?"

"I don't want to gloat." She said, looking at the collar with no guilt, she'd given opportunity to spare the dog, it was the actions of it's master that did this. "The death of your dog does not benefit me in anyway, and I am not a cruel person. I did not want your dog to die." She replied.
"You think I made you do this because you were a peasant? For one thing, you are not. For another, do you think people who are purposefully cruel to their small folk last very long being in power? Do you know why I had you kill your dog?"

Drinking from the skin,"you had me kill her because I made you look bad in front of those noble.... Women",she frowned,"I'm not stupid, contrary to your belief."
"You had to save face.... I get it, to make me answer for my actions." She sat on her bed,"What do you want exactly?"

"it's mort important than that." Saesha replied, "I want you to understand the world we currently find ourselves in, it is the same thing I want all of your family to understand. In that room, was not Seasha Seastar, with Myrcella Piper and Arya and Visenya Frey. It was House Blackfort, with House Piper and House Frey, representatives of three overlord families, and if I let you do as you please, let insults go unpunished, it is not "Lady Blackfort cannot command the respect of the women in the household, it is House Blackfort allows it's guests to be threatened and insulted under it's roof."

Aelison tilted her head, and sighed,"I know where my family is right now and I know where we were."
"It was Belric that got here, and I thank him. Praying that he's blessed for life, but youo should know I have never been a meek soul. Never not looked at a noble and gave them the truth."
"I'm good at my job to raise hounds, milady", her tone was sarcastic,"I know what they think of us and who they are. I'm not mad at what you did, this is where we are now."
"So if my cousin tells me to kiss your ass, wash your boots then that's what I have to do."

"I do not think either of you would enjoy you kissing my ass, and if Belric has told you that you need to act such, I will inform him to redact such instructions" Saesha replied, evenly.
"I had no idea that Lady Myrcella or either of the Frey ladies had insulted you previously, in order for you to have previously confirmed that they are snobbish, in fact they barely said a word in your presence. Your previous relationship with them in which you found that information out was not known to me, or were you just insulting them on preconceived notions on nobility?"
"everytime I have these little chats with members of your family you all claim to understand but none of any of your actions lend themselves to actually understanding the precarious situation in which we all find ourself."

Aelison listened, still drinking. For a split second, the words but you are such a worldly bastard of Kings Landing, you would know the difference wouldn't you? But she changed her mind. Figuring it would be best to do whatever is needed to get her out.
"Fine, whatever you think is best. I shall cower at your command. And in my dealings, no I don't think very highly of people who look down others that provide them with protection, food and even entertainment, but as it stands.... I'm in that company."
"Again, I'll do what I'm told, you don't have to worry anymore, I understand my actions reflect on my cousin."

"Have I done anything that seems to look down on you?" Saesha will not be so easily gotten rid of, "Ask anyone from the town, they hold me in very high regard there, because I do not look down on them, I value them, I understand the symbiosis of our relationship. I do not know what I have done to warrant this hostility."

Aelison sat quietly, holding the wineskin.
"No, you have not... Truthfully." She stared at her,"but I still now know my place, Belric is my Lord and you are My Lady."

"You are the cousin of the Lord of Harrenhal, Aelison. Perhaps you should move into the Keep, you can be closer to your family, and perhaps you can get to know me and those like me a little better?" She suggested, looking round the place, "your place is with your family, do you not think?"

Contemplating her words, Aelison put the skin down. "Yes my place is with my family, but I also do a service for my family. I have to remain here to do that service.."

The Kennels are by the keep, I am sure we can find you a room near there?" She offered.

Winning this was not in Aelison's favor, she could see that. "Alright, alright, I shall be moved in the keep after the events of the day."
Realizing the hour, Aelison cursed. "Speaking of that, I have to get ready. If you'll be kind to let me get myself together?"
