A while after what had happened at the sept Alice called her guard to her room, planning to speak with the Master of Coins.

Harlan entered the room and gave Alice a small smile, though it wasn't as cheerful as it had been prior to the incident. His temple had been stitched up, but there was no evidence of injury in his gait despite having been wounded in his leg during the riot.
"My lady," he said.

Alice smiled at Harlan when he entered. "I am glad to see that you have recovered well. It was... it was horrible." She hadn't quite got over it herself yet but knew that if she let the negative emotions take charge she would struggle. "I am glad to have had you there."

"It was," agreed Harlan bitterly and shook his head. "I am sorry you had to see it."
He would have complimented her knife-wielding skills, but it had clearly disturbed her so he didn't mention it. "None of us should have been there. The city's not safe yet."

"It isn't," She agreed, looking briefly out of her window at the city below. She'd so wanted to visit the markets with the queen and yet that would have to wait. None of them would be safe outside the walls of the Red Keep.
"I am intending to speak with the Master of Coins today," she said after a moment.

Harlan nodded, assuming there was more to this. "Very well," he said.

"I wish to go alone," Alice said to him. "His chambers are in the Red Keep, not far from my own and... well, to be honest I do not think the man likes our family very much. I wish to change that." She managed a small smile. "It wouldn't look too good if a members of the Blackfort family showed up at his door with an armed knight."

"Nonsense," said Harlan good-heartedly. "Nobles always have their trusted sworn swords present," he explained kindly. Alice was, after all, new to all this. "It is their job to amount to no more than a fly on the wall, so you needn't worry about me. Shall we?"
He opened the door for her.

"I wasn't going right now, Ser Harlan," Alice said, waving him away from the door with a smile. "But please, it isn't far and I wish to speak with the man in private." He poured herself a cup of water and drank.

"Ah, alright," said Ser Harlan, returning the smile. It faded somewhat as he closed the door, lowering his voice a little in the process. "I'm not sure that's a good idea..." he said, looking a little concerned. "With what has been happening lately." He gave her a pointed look.

"I would normally agree with you but, well, we're in the Red Keep and there are so many guards about," Alice explained. "I won't even be that long. I'm arranging a dinner with him, to which you can happily escort me and pick me up from." She smiled.

"I don't know," he said, not quite sold. "As a rule, it is uncommon at court for any such meeting to go down without a chaperone."

"I do not recall you accompanying me to the Queen's chambers when I met with her," Alice responded kindly, before reaching beneath her dress and pulling a dagger from a small garter belt that was attached to her leg. "And I do know how to protect myself," she added, her tone a little more serious as she remembered the nightmare of the sept.
