[QUOTE="Cor Azer, post: 5844214, member: 870"] Jacelynn had seen castles before, but she couldn't recall having ever seen one that looked as sad as Heart's Home. The large Corbray banners flew at half-mast, one last sign of respect for the dead Ser Patrek Ravensblood. A rider had brought word ahead to the castle, and twenty men had ridden out to meet Ser Laton's honour guard and escort the entourage to the Corbray home. Riding under the gatehouse, she couldn't help but look to her good-sister Palla, and wonder what this turn meant for their sojourn. Ser Patrek had been sent to find Palla, and he had before his death. Would Ser Laton take up the cause? Ser Gough? Lord Lyonnel himself, as like as any. Mournful smallfolk were scattered in the yard, pausing in their duties to offer Ser Patrek final respect as he was carried by. [i]He was well respected, well loved.[/i] There was little pomp and pageantry in their arrival. Lord Lyonnel met Ser Laton, Ser Jarl, Ser Gough, and Lady Palla at the far end of the courtyard, polite greetings were offered, and then stewards began showing the guests to their rooms while the septon and his aides began preparing Ser Patrek's body for its final rest. Jacelynn makes a quick survey of her chamber, but there is little to see. It is a room fit for a squire, not a lady. A stiff bed, a small chamberpot, an empty wash bin, a view of the eastern side of the courtyard - the morning sun would be more like to wake sleepy-headed squires early. She stares at the chamberpot and sighs. [i]This will be awkward.[/i] [i]No matter,[/i] she decides. [i]My place is at Palla's side.[/i] She heads back into the hallway, and begins navigating the spiraling corridors. As she nears Palla's chamber, she hears the distinct clack of a fine leather boot on stone. She slows her pace, not wanting to disturb anyone of note, but cannot stop her curiosity. [i]It pays to know what's going on...[/i] A peak around the corner shows Lord Lyonnel at the door to Ser Laton's room, although she cannot tell who is in the room with him. "Greetings, Ser Laton," announces the Lord. "I apologize for disturbing you as you settle in, but I need only a moment of your time. Neither the open courtyard earlier, nor supper tonight will be proper places for such a question, but I must ask you - what do you know of Ser Patrek's death? This is not a formal investigation - " With trepidation, he adds. "-yet." He pauses, and considers his words carefully. "It has come to my attention that you had some serious words with Ser Patrek a short time before his death, and it has been suggested that his sudden passing was...
