Prince Benjen immediately seeks out Kal Stark, a big grin on his face when he sees the man. "Kal, you bastard! Come here!"

The northern lord claps him on the back. He isn't a big hugger if the giver of affection lacks breasts. "Ben," he said as he smiled. "Looks like the furnace out east agreed with you more than me." He looks him over. "You missed some fun in the Narrow Sea. Not all of it though," he said. "What the fuck is happening here? All this peace and love makes me feel like I got suckered into attending a damn wedding!"

Benjen chuckled. "Peace and love only makes the warring sweeter, eh?" He jested. "I rather enjoy the calmness back here. You missed out on some damn scary stuff out east. Vhagus is... well, powerful." He shook his head. "Got a surprise for you."

Kalvin spits on the ground. "We'll see if he can summon himself a new head," he said. "Scary my ass." He looks about. "Surprise?" He sounds suspicious.

Benjen laughed. "Kal, I know how you like torturing impressionable young boys in the yard and turning them into killing machines. Well, I've got a boy for you to meet. My bastard son, Rhaegar. I want him to foster at Winterfell."

Kalvin scratches the back of his head. "That explains that letter from Daena Targaryens, then," he said. "She seems to believe she is part of the deal."

"She does? Gods..." Benjen said, shaking his head. "I was hoping to try and get the boy away from her. Breed some northman into him.What did her letter say?"

"Roughly, that she thinks I'm the greatest swordsman of our age and if her son is being raised by me then she wants to be with him," kal said. "I actually forgot you've slept with every damn one of those sisters. That's how exciting our lives are."

"I don't think there's any way to deny her that right," Benjen said, sighing. Then he grinned. "Meet any attractive women up north while hunting for our enemies? I'm sure Kal Stark doesn't go long without a woman."

"Like hell is that emperor's sister or..how are they related again? Whatever, that lady cannot come to Winterfell. How the hell will I ever get married again if the entire kingdom thinks I'm fucking Daena Targaryen?" He shook his head. "Been too busy. I don't...till my own fields up north," he said.

"Give her a keep then, or a tower near Winterfell," Benjen suggested. "That way she'll be close to her son but not too close. Frankly, if you can convince her not to come to the North then that would be perfect."

"I tell you what," Kalvin said. "You can try reasoning with her. She can marry some minor landholder if she wants, but I can hardly just give some woman a keep when I have deserving warriors waiting for their just rewards." He shrugged. "Maybe her brother in law and baby's father can talk some sense into her."

"There isn't much sense with Daena and her twin," Benjen commented, not looking forward to that discussion. "But I will try my best. Now, I've another question for you." He looks at Kal with a more serious expression. "Where did you get all the gold for the ships?"

Kalvin moves his hands in the public space as they walk. "Your father found a source of gold," he said. "He can tell you. I vowed on Beric's life if be silent until I died on the matter."

Benjen paused, staring at Kalvin. "Now I'm intrigued, but I'll ask father. This..." He leaned in a little. "Is it a safe source?"
