Nyles is plenty awake, though watching those two try to hit the target was about as fun as freezing to death in the winter air. Maybe the prince would catch cold and die. It'd sort of match their family string of luck.

If he thought it was unsporting, he did not protest. They both missed two more rounds in a row. When she made the third shot, he did not seem overly forlorn, sliding his braies off and tossing them in the pile, naked as his name day in the pale moonlight. He put his hands on his hips, standing proudly, with no apparent sense of shame despite the goosepimple and shiver. If Nyles and Yoren were still present, they might as well have been furniture for all he seemed to care. "Victory is yours, my lady," he said, with a cocksure grin, sounding impressed for certain. There were few woman that could shoot a longbow. "I do hope you'll at least be sporting enough to give me the chance at a rebuttal?" This had definitely not been something Dacey would ever call a victory, but she accepted the prince's congratulations with a nod anyway. She slipped on her boots and donned the leather tunic in one swift motion before Daemon was even done with his question. One layered up in wintertime for a reason. "Of course," she replied with a half-smile. "I'll have it set up whenever ye happen upon Harrenhal," she said, because she sure as shit wasn't going to be visiting King's Landing again any time soon. She picked up the rest of her things and went on to retrieve her arrows.

"How could I resist such an invitation when it is only a 4 day ride away?" he inquired. He had meant a rebuttal shot then and there, as in a chance to shoot until he missed, but he did not press the matter. He picked up his clothes, though did not put them on, remembering the terms of the bet. "So we agreed the loser returns to their rooms in the attire they are left in. I don't remember settling the matter of which room the winner retires to."

Dacey stopped after a few steps and looked back, giving the prince a once-over. Not much to see there.
"Because we did not," she said, waiting for him to say what he clearly wanted to say.

"Well it occurs to me that in such a state of undress and having evaded my sworn protector, it may be prudent to seek an escort back to my rooms," he propositioned, with a sly smile. "After such a display of martial talent, I think it safe to say I would feel quite secure in your company."

Dacey seemed to consider this as she stepped towards the prince, stopping just barely outside his personal space, her impeccable posture radiating discipline and confidence, as it usually did. She was a bit taller and had to look down slightly to study him. Obvious implications aside, he did probably need a guard. "Yer right," she told him with a faint smile, even if she didn't personally agree with putting too much faith in sworn swords. What kind of a respectable prince didn't know how to protect himself without one?
She looked over Prince Daemon's shoulder, at Yoren. "Yoren, could ya see to it that His Grace gets to his chambers safely?" she asked him, though it sounded more like a command than a question. She looked at the prince again. "He'll make for a much better guard than me. He has a sword at hand; I currently do not. Good night, Prince Daemon," she said, a hint of a smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth. She turned round and started towards the targets to retrieve her arrows.

"A pity," the prince replied, with a matching smirk, apparently more intrigued than annoyed at being rejected. Sometimes it got so dull always getting your way. He gave her a bow, which was quite comical in his disrobed state. "Good night."
He gave Yoren a look that indicated he did not need the escort after all, a veteran of the war himself, and tipped his hat to Nyles with a devilish grin that promised more adventures to come. He made his way back to the keep with confidence as if he owned the place and were clothed. Not one noble he passed said a fucking word to him, though there were many a strange glance.
(Nyles increases one disposition level with prince daemon. Dacey increases two)

Myles doubts that increasing disposition with him is good but he'll take it. "You all right, sister?" He asked as the prince left. "If he gets too...forward, you can't avoid him forever."

Dacey reached the strawman and started pulling out arrows from it face. She even laughed a little at his words. "I don't think he coulda been any more forward than he was," she said with a brief look at Nyles. "This may be the last thing on earth you should be concerning yourself with."

Nyles bites back his remark; someone may find one refusal intriguing before a second one infuriating. "I know," he said. "But it's easier to be concerned for you than to worry about some Stormland fuck and his buddies beating my ass in the coming days." He shrugged. "I'm going to try making some friends I promise." He shrugged. "Be careful out there sis. And try not to let our eldest brother fuck all this up."

Thankfully, Dacey didn't care if some princeling felt bad about being rejected. "Being overly concerned with anything is a waste of time," she announced, and looked at him for a longer moment this time before yanking an arrow out of the target's imaginary eye socket. "You'll be fine. Cloak and dagger, like ya told me, right? If that fails, well... find a way to beat their asses first."
She smiled, more to herself. "I won't," she promised.

Nyles nodded. "I guess I'll have to. I'lol miss you sis. It's been good seeing you again. Hopefully it won't be too long until our next meeting and you can knight me," he winked.

(Nyles loses 1 personal disposition point with Dacey due to being a follower of the Seven and seeking a title generally used by wimps)
"Right," she said with a faint smile. "Well, I hear Harrenhal isn't too far away. I'm sure there'll be plenty of visits."

"We can hope," he said. "Watch for ghosts," he winked.

Nyles spends his designated training times fighting with sword and lance, and after speaking to Myrcella and Shiera he felt the need to work off some steam. Nearly literal steam. He looks about for someone to beat some sense into him.
