"Oh yes, he left it on the door." She pouted. "Can you think of anything else that should be occupying your interest right now? The word won't end in the next hour while you attend to your...husbandly duties."

Benjen's frown deepened. "I am sorry, but I've been away waging war and making the sure the Vale doesn't go under." He turned to walk to his chambers. "You can never know when the world might end."

"You're grimmer than I remember. Maybe you really need rest," she comments. "The world has managed just fine without us for a few thousand years. I'm so proud of you; leading that army to take that bastard out!" She closes their chamber door. "Would you like something to drink?"

"I'm fine," Benjen replied, sitting down on the bed. "I cannot rest before Cassadar is dead, Catherine, and the same goes for Bryce Dayne." He looked up. "Where is this present?"

"I was kidding! We've had no sign of him here. Not like our wedding night." She frowns. "And what does Lord Dayne have to do with this? Can't you kill one threat to the kingdom before finding another one?"

"They're all connected, Catherine..." Benjen said, shaking his head and rubbing his eyes. "I'm sorry... one of the... this witch at... in the Vale, she said Bryce Dayne was a sorceror... the worst of the lot. He... did something to his daughter, Ellaria... She is safe now, of course."

"So whiskey, then." She states. "You're sounding like a crazy person. Whyever would you trust some batty old woman waving a stick and talking to trees? Cassadar is the threat, and we know he bleeds. Bryce Dayne can wait. He's Dornes problem, isn't he?"

"Because killing one won't stop this madness," Benjen answered. "They all have to die, otherwise we'll never know peace."

"There will always be another darkness come the night," she said, quoting some batty old poem. "You can have some peace in your life right now. Lord Bryce is far far away, and Cassadar isn't in sight, so can we have a nice evening as a family...before I lose you again to go hunt him down?"

"I am sorry, but I don't feel like it right now," Benjen replied, taking the whiskey and drinking it down in one. "I need to sleep, to rest... it's all too much."

"Of...course" Catherine takes their son and leaves. In a rather hurried manner.

Benjen goes searching through the entirety of the keep for Malryas Bolton.

He is found quickly enough, in the byzantine level of small offices that is his spiderweb. He is reading something when Benjen walks in. "Prince Benjen! Congratulations to you."

"Thank you, Malryas," Benjen said. "Twofold, perhaps three if you can help me with something. You see... we need to find Cassadar."

"Yes we do. Kalvin Stark and I talked...he fought Harrys Snow outside Braavos. A prisoner hinted that he might be headed to the God's Eye...for what end I know not. All this magical nonsense is leaving me uncharacteristically floundering for answers." He hands him something. It's a thin knife much like the one Benjen had destroyed in Mason Keep whilst slaying the cult master. "We killed anther magician in King's Landing some weeks ago with the help of Aaron Baratheon. We interrogated him with some...persuasive techniques. They believe they're forestalling the return of some goddess named Meraxes by slaying these people."
