A raucous celebration, honoring the North's hero princess Robyn, who slew an evil foreign lord in single combat and rescued her sister from captivity and the threat of slavery.

Robyn was of course there, though was far from raucous, a little unsettled sole credit was going to her. She was not a huge one for attention, and she had by no means done it all by herself.

Benjen was also there, of course, and he too was not raucous, the battle of King's Landing still too recent an event.

Lord Horace Umber has made his way down from the Last Hearth with a band of his men, sent to reinforce his bannerlord, and he and his are rather raucous. They cheer the little princess at every chance. Apparently the claims from everyone in the party who had gone overseas had unanimously declared that Robyn had been a single-handed savior for the north. Robyn can probably thank her brother for that. Nick is in attendance, drinking in the back with Ellaria Dayne and a few of his small band of miscreants.

Ella was with Nick's crew, drinking her fair share of ale, while Isabel Uller sat with Nina Martell, feeling an almost sisterly protectiveness for the young Princess.

Robyn raised her goblet to them every time they cheered her, at least if she got drunk she could forget how awkward and unjust the whole thing was. She imagined keeping the majority of the others out of the spot light was perhaps for the best. This was for Meera more than her, in her mind, a nice welcome home to her long suffering sister. That made her feel better. She was still saddened by the news of Corbray's demise. In a kind of half mourning for what could have been.

Joanna, clad in deep blue and gold, entered the hall and pretty much made a beeline for the main table, hoping to meet the final Stark sibling she'd heard so much about.

As she drinks, Nicholas at last heads over to her. "My hero," he said quietly with a grin. He goes to say more but as he does Lord Horace claps him on the back.
"And the assassin of Storm's End! What a fucking fine chap!" Everyone cheers drunkenly at that too. Nick is uncomfortable being in the spotlight and drinks and cheers and slips away.
Terrence pats Robyn's shoulder. "Think it or not, my dear, but you deserve this adulation. I am so very proud of you."

Joanna, clad in deep blue and gold, entered the hall and pretty much made a beeline for the main table, hoping to meet the final Stark sibling she'd heard so much about. Meera is seated, drinking quietly, cheering her sister on with a smile. She winces as she rises to her new sister in law. "You must be Joanna. How very nice to meet you," she said cheerfully, albeit with a bit of a grimace holding back pain. "I wish I could say I've heard so much about you, but I've been rather busy lately."

"Think it or not, my dear, but you deserve this adulation. I am so very proud of you." Robyn smiled up and Nick, but grew glum again when he was swept off before she could talk to him, not liking attention must be a family trait they shared. That was something at least, "I am just glad Meera is safe back with her family," she said to her father, "This should be for her... She has endured so much" she thought Meera perhaps did not want to be in the spotlight now, what with her hair, and horrific scars and wounds, "but thank you father, it is nice to not disappoint you. It is a shame about Pentos."

"Please, don't get up," said Joanna amiably before the Stark girl had the chance to. "It is so very nice to finally meet, is it not. I, on the other hand, have heard quite a lot about you. All good, I'm afraid," she said with a warm smile. "Only recently, however, as I was once busy myself." She imagined being captured by Grafton had to be milder than being captured by Dayne, though. "I am glad you are well."

Joanna notes the girl has had her hair cut, though Ellaria had managed to make it at least a somewhat presentable pixie cut, and she is missing a tooth. "Oh, yes," she said quietly. "Apparently my half brother is a busy man. Please, please, tae a seat." She notes her glass and refills it. "It is certainly enlightening, being released from captivity. Home feels so much more...precious. Do you know what I mean?"

Meera wanted her rescuer to have all the credit, Robyn, and we are all so happy you're back. And you never disappoint me. None of my children do."

"Indeed he is; capturing some, saving others.." she said, taking the offered seat with a small smile. "I know exactly what you mean."

She did not want to seem ungrateful, but it just did not sit well with her. "Well, I doubt I will be here long, I should enjoy the food and drink while I can."
