"I am Belric Blackfort, Lord of Harrenhal," he said to Juran, motioning sarcastically to the walls around him. "I will put you to good use, if your word is as valued as you say. Swear fealty to me now and let us be done with it. There is blade work that needs doing." Belric turned his attention back to Kyle the tavern owner. "What else do you know bout this Skinner Jon? What makes you say he is dangerous?" Kyle held back a sheug. "He has a great many people who follow him about, and he has the audacity to plan the robbery of your taxes not an hours' travel away from your own castle. I could see the tips of the towers from the inn." He considered. "Doesn't sound like any outlaw I've ever heard of."

"These bandits have grown bold from the war," he said, seemingly to himself. He turned his eyes back to Kyle. "You have done me a great service. I will send for you when this is over, loyalty is not to go unrewarded." Belric took Kyle by the forearm, and shook it thankfully.
"Jormun, we must ready the men. Go now and gather our family, I will meet you in the barracks."
"Carn, looks like you are getting a rushed initiation into the ranks." Belric whistled at one of the servants and signaled them to run over. "You may leave your horse with her, it will be well looked after in our stables."
Finally, turning to the servant who he had just ordered, "Tell the Stable Master to ready the horses. Any that are fit for battle."

Somewhat confused Juran did as he was bid. Letting go of the reigns he paused only to unhook the battered shield from the saddle before falling into step behind his new lord. Given that he didn't know where anything was and there was to be a gathering of men it seemed the safest option. While he was tired, the chance to prove it was worthy was tantalising.

"Where should I...inform you when the medicine is complete, my lord? I must be at the Unlucky Crab by nightfall or they shall suspect something." He looked about. "Every hour I am away will make them more likely to suspect something, in truth."

"Take the medicine with you to the Unlucky Crab and turn these bandits own plan against them." Belric put a hand to Kyle's shoulder, knowing that what he was asking was undoubtedly too much. "Bring them two casks, one for their plan, and one for consumption. Simply switch which one has the sleeping tonic. We will be waiting in the adjacent buildings and alleys so we can catch Skinner and hang some bandits."

Dacey, presently returning from Harrentown, noticed Edmure and his companions. There was something odd about the way the guards around him were positioned, she thought. "Where are you going?" she asked them, noting her sister.

Jormun spots the procession from nearby and rides up, putting the hunting trip he was about to take on hold. "Off to fight a war, Edmure? Or start one?"

"Thought I'd go travelling." replied Edmure in a tone laced with sarcasm. "Maybe I'll get some long term vision. Oh and by the way, congratulations on your appointment."

Dacey gave Jormun a quizzical look, having not heard anything from him about an appointment.

One of the guards gave Edmure a queer look, before speaking.
"We're escorting Ser Edmure to the Wall so that he may take the black on his lordship's orders," he explained to Jormun and Dacey, before motioning to the cloaked and hooded figure. "Lady Violet has elected to see him off."

Jormun returns Dacey's confused look, followed by a slight shrug. The news from the guard caused Jormun to shake his head. "You just can't get out of your own way, can you?"

Violet winced as they were greeted. She was in no mood for conversation right now.
"Shall we be off, Edmure?" She asked. She glanced at her sister and spoke with feigned levity. "Dacey, don't let Belric smash Harrenhal to bits while I'm gone, will you?"
She gave Jormun a brief smile but they were not well acquainted and she had no idea what to say to the man. She was aware of the bad blood between Jormun and Edmure, with whom she sympathised, and did not wish to see the situation worsen.

"What?" she asked somewhat incredulously, ignoring everyone and looking to Edmure. "Belric is making you take the black? Why?"
