Yseult follows, lagging a bit behind her, although moving quickly and offers Saesha the wet cloth in one hand and a cup of cold water she had detoured to get for Saesha to refresh herself with. 'M'Lady?' She says softly, to get her attention.

"I am glad you did not decide to stay." Belric reached over and put a consoling hand to his wife's arm. He was going to ask her if she was okay to ride, though he already knew her answer.
A soft voice lured Belri'c ears, hidden behind Saesha's horse. He leaned forward and caned his neck to get a good look at where it had come from, finding a pretty youth with chestnut hair. "Do I know you?" he asked, her face familiar.

Saesha looked between the two and rolled her eyes, taking the cloth and thanking Yseult.

'M'Lady,' She says with a smile.
Yseult moves to peer around the horse. 'Oh, M'Lord...' She dips in a bit of a hasty bow. 'I am Lord Rootes bastard. I am unsure if we ever actually spoke M'Lord, although I may have served you a few times when Father had you visit perhaps?'

It clicked who she was, though the last time Belric had seen her she had been a child. "It was a long time ago, but I remember you. What are you doing in Harrenhal?"

'M'Lady is trying me out as a handmaiden for a trial period, to see if I am suitable to her tastes and needs M'Lord.'

"Is that so?" Belric asked, raising a brow to Saesha. "My family has served yours for generations. I am sure Lady Blackfort will see you treated well now that you are in our service... uh... What was your name?"

Yseult bobs another curtsy 'Yseult Rivers M'Lord.'

"Your guess is as good as mine," he said simply. "Though, I wouldn't be surprised to find ourselves swimming in a sea of red. "Why red?" Violet asked, puzzled. "It will be good if there are other lords present, from my perspective at least. I must find a husband who will suit both my needs and yours. And there's our siblings to think of too. The more allies we have, the more comfortable we will be." She fell quiet for a moment then said "Belric, I think we need to find out which of the Riverlords is most likely to be considered a possible threat to Lord Tully's rule. And ally ourselves with both houses, if we can. Lord Tully must treat us kindly if we are joined to him in alliance as well as fealty, and if we should happen to be allied to the next most powerful lord in the Riverlands too, well, everyone will know we are not to be trifled with." "Red because those are the men he trusts. Grudges are powerful things, with the ability to span lifetimes." Belric adjusted himself in his seat. "We will try and unify all of the Riverlords if possible. Though I agree, our next ally should be one that gives our enemies pause." Belric eyed his sister, trying to get a read on what she was thinking. "What did you send in that letter to Lord Roote?"

Belric eyed his sister, trying to get a read on what she was thinking. "What did you send in that letter to Lord Roote?" Violet gasped. She felt betrayed by Percival. "I met hom at the wedding and wanted to further the acquaintance. And I have friends in Harroway's Town and would like to visit them, when my circumstances allow. I miss my friends, Belric. And I'm no good to you sitting in a tower like a maiden in a song. My friends might know....things, so I thought I should make sure they know I haven't forgotten them."

A woman's plight seemed very odd to Belric, he thought better than to try and understand it. "I am sure Lord Roote would be happy to host you. We shall make the arrangements once we return."

"Thank you. I said that I did not know when I might be able to visit Harroway's Town. I knew that duty must come first."

The group sets off with their retinue. It is an 8 day ride along the River Road from Harrenhal to Riverrun.
(Curse of Harrenhal Flip: Heads) (Withered Every Hand To Touch It-Every time the Curse of Harrenhal is flipped, Belric flips twice.) (Second Curse of Harrenhal Flip: Tails) (Roll Result: Trivial)
A storm causes the banks of the Red Fork to flood the River Road, reducing it for a time to a muddy quagmire. The group is forced to take shelter in the Inn of the Kneeling Man for 2 additional nights, before setting off again for Riverrun.
(You may post at the Inn of the Kneeling Man for 6-8 of the 3rd Moon. You may post at Riverrun on the 10th Day of the 3rd Moon.)

////////////////////////////////// 2nd Day, 3rd Moon, Morning
Willis arrived at the gates a bit before dawn, on the second of whatever month it is. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and waited for the rest to turn up for their diplomatic mission/possible murderfest.

Jared arrived presently. He wore a mail shirt over his septon's robes and a sword at his side, while a shield hung over his saddle. HE was in good humour despite the serious nature of their mission.
"Ah, Ser Willis. Glad to see you are ready to go. I pray the gods grant us an easy ride and a victory."
