Harlan chose not to state the obvious; Lord Butterwell was a gross old man with a reputation of preying on young innocent ladies such as Alice. "Very well, if you insist. But if I hear any foul play, I'm kicking down the door," he said with a smile, though he wasn't exactly joking. Lord Butterwell had not been present at the Great Sept during the loyalist riot, and that bothered him.

Fortunately daggers also worked on fat people.
Alice smiled and rose, hiding her dagger again and giving Ser Harlan a hug. "I promise I won't be long and then you can follow me as much as you like." She finished her water and turned back to her guard. "If you would excuse me, Ser, I am intending to get changed."

"Of course," said Harlan, who hadn't expected a hug, but returned it all the same. He stepped outside to wait for her.

Alice left her rooms a while later with her hair combed properly and a light red coat over her dress. "I will return shortly, Ser Harlan," she said to him with a nod, before leaving for the Master of Coins' chambers.

As per their agreement, Harlan escorted Alice to Lord Butterwell's quarters and stood guard outside the door.

After unsuccessfully reaching his sister earlier, Nyles returns. "Alice?" He said sweetly in his best little brother voice, "I have a favor to ask. I think you'll even like it."

Alice was in her chambers, fiddling with her hair. "Nyles, come in!" She called out, waving her brother into the room. "What's this about a favour then, hmm?"

Nyles looked about. His sister seemed to be enjoying herself. "I found some of the men who attacked us at the funeral," he said. "A girl helped me find one of the most dangerous of them and she lost her job at the place she worked." He smiled his sweetest little brother smile. "I was hoping you would take her on as a maid. She is quite smart and very kind. And people who can be trusted are few and far between here."

Alice listened to her brother with a half smile. "She sounds lovely, though I am not sure if it is up to me to hire her as a maid," she explained. "Where is it that the girl worked?"

"She was a bar maid," he said. "She deserves something more honorable on account of she doesn't live in a particularly reputable area. She's being pressured to serve more than drinks, if you understand me."

Alice thought on that for a moment. "Well I would like to meet her but I still cannot assure you that I can hire her. I wouldn't want her to... well, you know." She thought about the poor girl having to do things against her will and shuddered.

"I think you'll admire her, she reminds me a bit of you," Nyles said. "I'm sure you can at least find her a spot in the Red Keep, being so close to the queen. She has no problem washing clothes or cooking. I need your help," he admitted in his best little brother voice.
