She is immediately ushered into the tent. An old man smiles. He is round and pudgy and bald. "Wife number five?" He asks with a joking tone. "I got lucky this time!"

Cersei smiled. "I'm afraid you'll have to speak to my other husband about that." she said. "He has first call on me."

"Damn," Godric said. "Is he bigger than me?" He jokes. "But why does your beauty grace my presence?"

"Bigger than Godric the Gargantuan?" smiled Cersei. "Not that I would know personally, other than the stories I've heard. She laughed and winked at the old lord.
"I'm here to enquire after your health and family, my lord Godric. My husband's lands lie not too far from Riverrun. Every lord and lady should know their neighbors."

"And who is this lucky man? I never got the first night letter!" He declared. "But for you I shall forbear. This once." He looked at her. "And who are you?"

"I am Cersei Tyrell of Brightwater Keep, Lady of Vikary Hall." she replied. "My husband is Ser Lyonel." She gave a sudden chuckle. "Indeed Lord Godric, now that I think upon it, I have had as almost as many husbands as you have had wives. We make a good pair."

"So some little western knight stands between us? I'm sure he'd not mind a few new horses for a few days." Godric said. "But then, Tyrell, let me see. Your son is the lord of Brightwater," he coughed. "Arthur." Maybe he pays a bit more attention than it looks, or maybe Godfic is actually crazy.

Cersei nodded. "Yes, Arthur." She confirmed. "My son is sixteen now. Almost a man."

"More than a boy," Godric nodded. "How close to a man is he? I know some sixteen year olds that can lead armies, and some that can't even sit a proper horse," he said. "If you've come to visit me I'm inclined to suspect your son is closer to the former."

Cersei smiled sweetly at Lord Godric. "Arthur is rapidly learning the craft of being a soldier and commander. He shows considerable promise according to his stepfather, who himself has significant experience in these matters."

"Good." He said. "but he needs a woman to become a man, hm?" He leaned back. "Of course he does.

The old man was perceptive. ""Not just a woman my lord. A wife."

"Well if you're talking to Lord Tully of Riverrun you better not be asking for no mistress!" He said angrily, then he laughed. "Coming a long way north to seek a bride. I know my granddaughters are beautiful but perhaps even more than I'd thought."
