"You know benjen, once he has his mind set that something is a good idea." Robyn said quietly, shaking her head, "I am glad you are alright too, Nick, and I am sorry."

Nick doesn't respond to that for a minute. "Well, I hope his...gauge was worth the cost," he said. "What are you doing now? Any plans while you're here?"

'It was not just for that" Robyn said, shaking her head.
"Right now, i have no set plans really, just really thinking about enjoying the event, then we will see what happens" She smiled a bit, "earlier Meera tried to help me find a husband... I ended up fighting him... surprising I know. How about you?"

"I hoped you kicked his ass," Nick said. "All that time I spent training with you wasn't just for fun," he added. "I've been helping Meera and Arthur out with their little...disloyalty problem." He looked about. "But that's over, so I suppose once I leave it's time to find the open road again."

"Planning on going anywhere in particular, or are you just going to roam around?" she asked, moving back again now, "And I completely did, drew the first one, to let him get cocky and then went in for the kill in round two... except I did not kill him."

"I don't know yet," Nick admitted. "Maybe Pentos for a while, sort out my estate there, given that most of the other heirs are gone. Been a lot of killing these last few years. You hustled him? Should have bet money," he said. "He a marriage candidate?" he asked. "Or just a pleasant afternoon?"

'I do not know" Robyn said with a big sigh, "He was very pleasant, good company, but a lot of men I associate with are too. I think I need to make a decision and at least get betrothed soon.. I am getting older it's not like before, last year I felt like i had all the time in the world. I also realised when King Aaron got married... people are not going to wait for me forever, but at the same time it's a decision I will need to live with for my whole life, it's not even like I can blame father or a political marriage."
"Pentos will be good, you could establish yourself in all it's turmoil and set yourself up, if that is the life you want."

Nick made a funny face at her. "Yes, my sister the spinster," he said with a laugh. "Come on now, you deserve the best man in Westeros, but being as we're siblings, we'll have to settle for the second," he said. "King Aaron? You don't want him," he said. "All those rippling muscles would just suffocate you in bed," he joked. "Who do you like so far? I've got nothing better to do with my day." He thought. "I'm guessing...Frances Dayne. I think he's too old for you though."

"You saw right through me" she said, "I am weak for the bad boys" she rolled her eyes and smiled again, "With king Aaron it would surely depend on how we went to bed together as to whether he'd suffocate me."
"Well, none of them have really asked me to marry them, but it has been heavily hinted they want to. I liked Walter Arryn very much, you remember him, surely? And then Mychel Tully, the grandson of Lord Tully, and then of course there is Kalvin, who asked me outright, but I am not sure."

"You're not sure he asked you outright?" Nick said, amused. "Arryn was a decent enough lord; that was certainly a hell of a thing we went through. Mychel Tully..." he strains his memory. "I've heard the name. Nothing bad about him from what I remember." He shrugged. "It is a big decision to make. That's why kings usually do it themselves," he laughed.

"I know, I am starting to think it was more of a curse than a blessing, father saying I can choose my own" she said with a hollow laugh, "with Kalvin I just meant that he was going to ask father... and I asked told him not to, because i was not sure." she shook her head, "It's a bit of a mess"

Nick nodded. "Kalvin seems like he'd be a bit of an...acquired taste. He likes violence even more than me," he said, shaking his head. "Scary." He looks at Robyn. "But you're not so far behind us, are you?" He laughs. "You know many ladies would literally kill to be in your position, choosing between all these men," he commented.

"I know..." She said, and looked unimpressed with her situation, "Rather ironic, the unconventional princess being in the position that any conventional lady would die to be in." She thought a bit, "I feel like a marriage of my to Kalvin would be a marriage of extremes, we would be very happy one moment and we would hate one another the next, and as petty as it is, I think there is a part of my that likes the idea, because it is something my sisters always wanted."

"Your sisters wanted to hate their husbands?" Nick asked. "Fascinating. They must be seething inside right now," he said. "Just need to clear your head and carry on," he advised. "We'll go risk our necks some more. Maybe the gods will make the decision moot."

"By having me killed," she thought did not look as if it was entirely devoid of merit to her, "also no, but they both rather liked Kalvin before they married, or so I heard."
