[QUOTE="Bleak Knight, post: 2793947, member: 39561"] [b]Jasper[/b] Nerrys, Rhinna and Hulmer were all talking. Often at the same time, debating their widely differing opinions and priorities. Jasper was only listening with half an ear. Staring out a window, he looked down the road. The road where his father would be coming up. It was six years since he had seen him. Six years is a long time when you're young, and even longer when you're growing up. Jasper had changed a lot, over those years. He had grown up. [i]'I wonder if my father will recognize me. Or any of the others, for that manner'[/i]. Lord Horton – Father – had been gone for a long time, more than half of his youngest brother Jon's life. The boy was brave, and claimed he was looking forward to seeing his father. Jasper however, saw both fear and doubt in his eyes. [i]'The man is a stranger to him. Just a few childhood memories'[/i]. The septa was looking at him intently, and he realized he had been asked a question. He nodded curtly and said “mhm”. Apparently it was enough, for the trio started off their discussion again. Jasper wondered if his father was as anxious as he was. [i]'I hope he's not. I hope he's happily expecting a loving welcome'[/i]. That's what he deserved. He was a war hero. With an effort, Jasper pulled himself out of his own thoughts. He needed to conclude this meeting, which seemed to him mostly a pointless squabble amongst lesser authorities. They were all good people, but this was a waste of time. “Septa, I assure you, you will have all the time you need for your blessings, and I promise you, they will be the first thing dealt with. As for where to quarter them, they'll be coming with all their campaigning gear. Which means tents.
