A sept located on the edge of the Godswood, built in comparable scope to the rest of Harrenhal, constructed from weirwood beams.

As their group arrived in the sept, Violet made sure to stay behind Edmure and Belric. Her dagger's weight was a reassurance against her nerves. She didn't dare speak to the stranger knights.

Hoster positioned his men in strategic points around the Sept so they could overlook the meeting. possibly guaranteeing the safety of the parlaying parties.

Ser Tallahar River's walked slowly into the Sept. He stayed close to Lady Saesha not trusting the Ser Simon and his Knights. The older man hopped this would be a peaceful exchange but a part of him doubted it.

Ser Willem walked nearest of the group to Ser Simon and his escort, looking quite relaxed. From what he had seen and heard, these were honourable men, and any trouble would come from those they were meeting in the Sept.

Belric entered the spet, disappointed to find it as cold as it was outside. Nevertheless he was pleased to see Saesha, nodding to her from a distance.
"It looks like there is still room for reason today." He said to his company.

Edmure stood slightly behind his brother his face grim.
"Stay close if there's trouble." he whispered to his sister out of the corner of his mouth.

Willis leaned against the wall, arms crossed, near the doors.

Yoren stood slightly behind Belric, opposite of Edmure and looking to keep his lord safe.

Violet gave Edmure a nod. "I'm staying as far away from trouble as I can. I pray they would not harm a lady."
Though she knew her sex wasn't the shield it should be, given Lady Lothston's fate.

"It looks like there is still room for reason today." He said to his company. "There is room for justice," Ser Bruce said coldly, standing and staring daggers at his uncle, hand on the hilt of his sword, so much hate between two men who were once inseparable. "On that much, at least, we agree, boy," Ser Simon countered in turn, matching his nephew's hostile demeanor. There was a very long, very awkward silence, likely both men imagining murdering the other even in these hallowed halls.

"Good day Ser Simon, I am Belric Blackfort. I was sent here on the King's orders, following the sudden death of Lady Lothson, to take command of Harrenhal as Lord." Belric glanced towards Bruce and then continued speaking, "You can imagine my dismay, having traveled all this way, to find this." Belric held out his hands, gesturing to generally everything. "Harrenhal is in disarray, people are revolting, children are missing and to top it off a sworn knight has confessed to murdering his liege." He stared at Ser Simon, attempting to read his response. "Are you aware of the reason why Ser Bruce killed Lady Lothson?"

"Then I am sure you can imagine my dismay that he has confessed, yet he still has his head?" Ser Simon asked a question of his own, back rigid, posture impeccable in his plate armor. "What reason could matter? Only traitors need to justify treason."

"It matters greatly, Ser Simon. As a knight, you are responsible for the orders you follow, regardless of what gets deemed treasonous and what does not when the war is over. You followed a turncoat, a woman who committed treason herself when she betrayed Daemon Blackfyre and made an alliance with Brynden Rivers. You were loyal to her yes, but can you be loyal to me? Furthermore, can you judge what is right from what is wrong when the time comes again?"
Belric let out a deep breath, the weight of authority was cutting new scars into his shoulders. "As I cannot pass judgement based on your loyalties to a traitor, I must judge you on your honor. I will ask you this once, Ser Simon. Were you involved in the abduction, murder, and forced cannibalism of Harrentown's children?"
(Persuasion: 43)
