[QUOTE="Maester Luwin, post: 3356642, member: 23259"] Hey everyone! Here is the late night meeting of brothers about brothers! Thanks Maester Luwin Artos was angry as he made his way to his brother’s room. After checking in on Jasson & assuring himself of his son’s safety, Artos found sleep wouldn’t come. He knew his brother would be up as well. Too many irons in the fire for the lord to ponder he thought. The guards outside only nodded & waved him inside. Lord Willam set at his desk pouring over letters, messages, & scrolls with a variety of seals & the oil in the lantern beside him had burnt low. To Artos his brother looked tired & in need of rest himself. He was mumbling to himself while mulling over some strategy or another. Artos cleared his throat to announce his presence. Lord Willam looked up with weary eyes & said “Ah brother do come in. I’m afraid I have some more bad news.” Artos made his way to the chair across from his brother & said “Has Septon Heward spoken with you then?” Willam nodded “But that is not the news I speak of.” Willam held up a message with the Lannister’s seal fixed to it. “It appears the brothers' Lannister would join the tourney if we would only delay it a day or two. This letter was sent from Moat Caitlin & arrived this morning. Ser Brynden says I should allow them to join. What say you?” Artos frowned & said “I hold no love for the Lannisters.
