"It is good you can remain so optimistic," Robyn said with a smile and then left to her own rooms.

Benjen was in his rooms missing most of his clothes when Joanna was delivered still in her dress. He quickly moved and closed the door so those outside could see and hear nothing.

Joanna, rather tipsy on wine and in good humour since being carried by servants had always been one of her favourite transportation methods, gave an apologetic shrug. "Sorry," she said with a smirk, stepping closer to the prince to snake her hands behind his neck, "I don't think my scar is ready for a public display quite yet." She bit her lip and looked him in the eyes. "I guess that means you'll have to take off my dress yourself."

When Joanna had stepped close to him his hands had gone to her hips, grasping them firmly, eyes on hers. "That sounds like a good idea," He responded, mischievous grin on his face as his hands slipped up to undo her dress at the back. A moment later Joanna's dress fell from her and Benjen marveled the damn fine body beneath her small clothes.
"I'd ask you to return the favour, but I'm already naked," He replied, his body far more toned than it appeared when he wore clothing. He'd been slimmer before but all the warring made him look like the Warrior reborn... were the Warrior a northman.

That would have been an interesting analogy, and kind of blasphemous, considering the North was currently at war with the Faith.
Joanna stood confidently, as she would have, had the nobles undressed her if it weren't for the obvious bandage around her thigh. She at least had the decency to blush a little, or maybe it was the wine. "So, the stitches are not a week old," she said with a small smile as this was a little awkward, put actually was dead serious as she had no intention of getting them done again, "so go easy. Or the wait's gonna be twice as long." With that, she leaned in and kissed him full on the mouth.

An hour or so after the newlyweds are done, a scraping sound comes from under the door. It sounds like paper sliding on rock.

Benjen was busy pouring the two a post-coitus drink when the paper was slid in. He frowned and quietly made his way to the door, opening it swiftly when he got there.

He sees a guard at each side of the hall. they look at him with concern. "Prince? Is there a problem?" The door across from his chambers belonged to his sister Delila before her marriage.

Benjen frowned. "Was somebody at the door just then?" He asked, indicating the piece of paper lying on the ground, which he picked up and read.

The guards shake their heads. "No one's come up either set of stairs, my prince. We can...check the other room, if you wish."
The letter was written on one of the handkerchiefs in blood. It has some goofy looking letters written on it Benjen cannot read.

"What the hells is this..." Benjen muttered, staring down at the handkerchief. "Joanna... are you good with languages?"

Joanna, who'd put on a white night shift and was sitting by the fire with a fur around her shoulders, raised an eyebrow at the question, looking over her shoulder. "No. What's that you got there?"

"I... I'm not sure," Benjen replies, turning around and walking to Joanna. She could see the disturbed look on his face as he held out the 'letter' for her to read.
