////////// 19th Day of the 3rd Moon
Belric arrive outside of the castle gates, his spirits high for the day to come. He wore his plate, great sword hung over his left hip.
Having sent a servant to fetch Jormun and Aelison, Belric waited patiently astride his horse.

Father and Albah walked in front of Aelison riding up on her horse,"Good morning cousin",she smiled, wearing her leather armor, her bow and quiver resting along her saddle. "Seems you chose a good day for your hunt."

"Any day is a good day to be outside the walls of Harrenhal." Belric said in jest. "While we wait for Jormum tell me cousin, how have you been? Some time has passed since we saw each other last. What brings to the God's Eye in the depths of winter?"

"I agree, but i have yet to see everything within its walls", she smiles.
Thinking on his question, she sighed deeply,"what brought me here? I would say that your words earlier rang true."
"I came here to be safe with family", she looked at him,"got tired of working for that knight... Either he was dogging me with dogs or he was just dogging me."
Thought I'd heed my father's words that it would be better for me to find my way back to family, before I sliced him from throat to cock." She shrugged.

"Well, you will always have a place in Harrenhal, so long as you need it. There are two things I would like from you however, if you will be staying. The first is that you help Jormun in his duties, filling our stocks with food is the biggest priority. The second request is that you start breeding and domesticating our hounds." He gave her a sly look, "See if you can't find one that suits me personally."

"Well neither will be a problem", she grinned", we have a litter coming and soon from Grace." Aelison glanced at Albah. His build was huge and strong,"and he is the sire. I am sure I can get a pup that will suit you just fine."

"Good," he said, seeming rather cheerful about the whole thing. "Do you have any experience training other animals? Bear perhaps?"

"Yes it's very good, but I want to try and get one more out of Mother and Father," she nodded with assurance,"they have a free more good years left in them."
Then he asks about a what? "A bear?" She shook her head slowly,"No, I've... I've never had the opportunity.."
"But, I can give it a try."

Jormun arrives on horseback, Happy perched on his shoulder as he nods to his pair of siblings. "My Lord, Aelison, good morning. Brother, if you're planning on wolves or bears, at least allow me a warning, aye?"

"I would like to avoid bears and wolves, if at all possible. It is my plan to simply observe the two of you hunt, while enjoying some conversation." Belric gave Jormun a look, "But if a bear does happen across our paths, you can expect that I will stand my ground."

Jormun smirks at Belric. "Good, I was hoping Dacey wasn't the biggest man around here. Let's have a nice, boring hunt then."

"She may still be," joked Belric. "I have been told she did a fine job acting as lord while I was away." He looked to Jormun to confirm the rumors.

"Morning Jormun", she replied. "I see your falcon looks ready."
"And I think our big boys can handle a bear, if he decides to come by", looking down at them.

"Indeed, Dacey handled the position with a skillful hand, and most importantly, a level head. If we had sent her to Armistead's Crossing instead, we probably would have kept the village without a word being spoken. She'd just glare at them, and their balls would shrivel, and they'd ride off."
Jormun grins to Belric, turning the grin to Aelison afterwards. "Happy is always ready for bloodshed. He's a big ole cuddler underneath, though. Isn't that right, Happy?" Jormun grins even wider, reaching up to pat his falcon on it's head.
((apologies for late reply, busy day.))

Belric let out a bellowing laugh, knowing his sister's glare all too well. "If she learned to command, she would make a fine general."
He watched as Jormun doted on happy, and thought it as good a time as any to broach the conversation of falconry. "While I was in Riverrun, one of the few saving graces of my trip was learning to hawk." He smiled at Jormun, aware that this may surprise his brother. "You have a knack for training birds, Happy is a fine example. I would like you and the Maester to start developing a plan for breeding and training. There is money to be made in such an endeavor, the nobility loves their sport."
