"Not bloody likely," the huge man said. "Maybe better than your brothers." He looked at her. "So tell me what you've done in his service." Raven chuckled,"Are they here with you? I would like to take a shot at the title, since I've grown a bit." "Father, traveling with the Prince I have been across the Narrow Sea and seen magic, real magic... Up close..", her eyes widened with a smile,"And dragons, I saw them... Massive beasts, but beautiful." "There a few battles as I am sure you heard about",her smile then faded a bit,"There was one recently...." "We prevailed, of course, but to what end I do not know",her smile had vanished altogether by the end of her sentence as she looked sadly at her father.

Horace frowns. "What happened, lass?" he asked. "You survived. Who did not? Losses come in war all the time."

She took in a breath,"I wronged my Prince..." Raven looked about to make sure they were not in any ears open. "I did not know it was her father.."
Raven shook her head,"I was protecting him.. Well I thought I was... I .. I did not know. I saw the he was in danger.."
Raven then looked her father in the eyes,"I killed Nick Snow's sister, Eliza in our last battle, father."

Horace rubbed his thick beard. "Well, she was an enemy. People die when they're enemies," he said with a shrug. "Our own Lord Kalvin killed his thrice damned brother in law."

"This is different, father. Benjen told me that she was actually protecting him when I killed her." Raven shook her head,"I have never had doubt, but right now I do."
"I feel I should got to him and tell him the truth, that I was the one who took his sister",she frowned. "I know that is causing some distress for Benjen, Nick Snow is his brother, father."
"I can't have him in that position, even if.... If it costs me something I don't want to give. I serve him, I wronged him and I should do what is right. Isn't that what you taught us?"

Horace taps his ale mug, thinking. "I don't know," he admits, "she was an enemy fighting against your side. Mistakes are made. And if half the shit I've heard of that Snow fellow are true, well, best not to have him wishing you ill." He stroked his massive beard again. "I am sure Prince Benjen understands. Elsewise he'd have told you beforehand to spare her, right?"

"as I said father, I have doubts", she frowned,"He started out the enemy... Now..." sighing,"I do as I am bid by him, but I don't understand. I know he has a bigger agenda but, if she was an enemy in a war, why was she protecting him and why we were even fighting in the first place? For Vhagas Blackfyre? To what end?"
"I didn't know who she was until after I killed her. He didn't tell me..."Raven took a seat and pulled a pint close to her. Taking a huge swallow of ale,"He's going to find out... Nick Snow is going to find out and I would rather face him then make him think I am a coward or that I am beign protected."
She chuckled, tapping her finger on the mug rim,"Benjen may end be stupid enough to lie for me, just to protect me."

Kalvin shrugged. "All right then." He looks about. "I'm going to wash up. There's too much alcohol aorund these parts. I need to make sure the kids don't get their hands on it," he said. "I'm civically responsible." Benjen chuckled at that. "You do that, I'll have a wander around. Been meaning to speak to that Serrett. Hand to King Brynden. From what I hear I already don't like the man."

"And if he does," Horace said, "and you come clean, Nick's wrath will turn on his brother for lying. His sister dying is one thing. His own brother lying about the cause is something rather more serious." He frowned. "But if he doesn't, perhaps the man should know. You'll confront him only with people around, if you do," he said.

Sounds like any of us."

"Maybe Benjen doesn't know", she smirked,"He wasn't there when it happened... I told him." Taking another swig,"So he is clear."
Raven satin thought for a second,"Who will come with me, if I decide to do this?"

"I know who he is," Kalvin said, eying his tent being set up. "What's not to like? He likes killing his enemies and burning their shit. Sounds like any of us." "The man is power mad, or so Delila says," Benjen responded. "But I will make my own mind up. I will see you at the tourney, Kal." He smiled and left.

Horace thought. "Take Jackson with you. Or someone who can fight. It's just to make sure the man doesn't go mad and lunge. I don't know much about him, and less of it good," he said.

She nodded,"Then let's see to it, before the party." Pushing the mug back towards her father,"And before I have too much to drink... I need to have a clear head for this one."
Raven kissed her father's cheek,"Thank you father... If... If for some Gods forsaken reason I do not return, please do not do anything stupid. The North needs good men like you." She smiled at him, "I will meet Jackson at Nick Snow's tent."

"If you don't return, Nick snow's body will never be found, except in the Crowl's feces," Horace said darkly.
