"Well... If you must know, I was to be wed to a Bolton. The Starks refused to make a move, so I was sent to the Boltons as a blood sacrifice. With a marriage alliance and the right purse strings pulled, we might have ended the war a bit earlier." Visenya shrugged. "It was a long time ago. I cannot even picture the little boy I would have married. But I remember the castle. And the pale faced servants at dinner." Arya just pressed herself closer to Willis. "Which one is yours?" "Well, I am thankful for whatever saved you from that marriage and the life living with the Boltons would have brought." Willem replied. "Although...is that what we Blackforts are seen as by others? The Boltons of the Riverlands? I certainly hope not. I don't think I have it in me to flay a man."

"You're the new Freys. We're no longer the upstarts who built a bridge. You're the upstarts who killed a random bastard. Bloodraven wasn't even proper nobility, and somehow his killer gets the grandest castle in Westeros. For shame..." She giggled at the thought. Visenya boldly grabbed Willem's hand and pulled him close. "Come here, you wicked upstart!"

"Not worried this upstart might start up something he shouldn't?" Willem replied, grinning mischievously as he slid an arm around her waist.
(Observation: 79, to attempt to gauge disposition, and Seduction: 25)
(Boon: I Had A Lot of...Sisters?-Being raised by whores and therefore comfortable around women, start one disposition level higher with female NPCs and get +10 to social rolls against them)

"All the more reason for the upstarts and former upstarts to get to know each other better. Put a little fear into the old families." His arm squeezed a little tighter. "Well, and for some other reasons."

(Success. 1 point to Observation and 2 to Seduction. Current disposition is Friendly.)
Willem can expect a one night stand, but nothing that would survive past the tourney's end. His bastardry and current status on her powerful cousin's shitlist makes a proper relationship impractical and even dangerous.
"I would be sorely disappointed if you didn't." She leaned her head onto his shoulder. "This may be the furthest south I ever go. Best make it worthwhile, upstart." Then she kissed Willem on the mouth without hesitation. It was the kiss of a young woman who is confident she can outrun and outlive any consequences that might follow her.
"Mmm... Your beard is so thick..." Murmured Arya. "I'm afraid it will tickle if I kiss you." But she kissed him anyway. And it didn't tickle.

Willis was a bit surprised; he didn't have much experience with highborn girls, but thought they tended to play it more hard to get. Not that he was complaining. He kept his hands from roaming too much as they kissed, not sure how far she wanted to go with this.
"Speaking of views from the tower," He said quietly when their lips parted, "It's beautiful first thing in the morning. Best to head up now, to make sure we don't miss it."

"Mmm... That should be a pretty thing." She looked up over at the monolith, and frowned. "Though we shall have to walk swiftly, I fear. And quietly. I may already be deemed used goods by sept and state, but I should like to keep my delights a secret."

From his read of the situation Visenya was simply looking for a good lay, which although somewhat disappointing to Willem was better than outright rejection. Willem kissed her back softly before pulling away. "Well then I had best show you what the south has to offer." He replied. "Would you care for a tour of the Kingspyre tower? I find the view from my quarters most interesting."

"Of course. In a place this big, there's plenty of ways to get where you want without being seen." Willis began leading her toward the tower, giving Willem a mental fistbump as they went. "Your family won't mind you disappearing for a few hours?"

Visenya scoffed. "Am I so plain you would rather look out the bloody window? Do you expect to find the Dornish pox beneath this dress?"
"Orland will be too distracted attempting to claim Lady Mandrake's recently vacated assets. And Aerys has no use for marriage contracts."

"The offer of a window was for your benefit." Willem replied. "If you don't want it, all the better."

"Mandrake does have some fine assets. Wasn't particularly impressed with her breastets, though." Willis joked.

Visenya smirked. "I believe my cousin was referencing the woman's huge tracts of land."
***
Willem found his company quite uninterested in conversation for most of the night, but despite her enthusiasm, it was all too apparent that she was not as worldly as she pretended to be, and seemed quite unskilled in certain areas. She left the room while Willem slept, and would not be seen until in the company of her family. For the entirety of the next day, she seemingly paid him no mind.
***
Arya, despite her proven quality, preferred to simply cuddle, and stare out the window. However, she had little use for clothes in the Wailing Tower, so it was hardly a chaste matter. As the sun grew closer, her idle conversation ceased and she took what she would of the Knight. She was not passionate this time, but affectionate with a hint of restraint. Unlike her cousin, Willis was woken with a kiss before her discreet exit.
