Benjen had been reading a book but when his half brother arrived he was granted immediate entrance.
"Nicholas, good to see you," Benjen said, setting his book down.

Nick takes a seat on whatever is most convenient. "I'll be leaving this evening. I've got a plan on how to get yo...our sister out of Storm's End and to safety." He looks at the prince. "You'll need to trust me, if that's possible. The best case scenario of my plan working is we will return in four or five months. Worst case almost a year."

"A year," Benjen repeated, thinking on Nicholas' words. "I... must confess I am intrigued as to why it may take so long. And, past matters aside, i do trust you."

"When I get Meera," he said, "Bryce will come after us with everything he has. Assassins, sorcerers...even Pentos will be too dangerous. But I know a place. It should not take so long," he said. "If it does it's more likely I simply failed."

Benjen nodded, a grim look on his face. "As soon as we hear that Meera is no longer in Bryce's possession we will march against him with everything we have. If there is any other way that I can assist your rescue of our sister then let me know."

Nick thinks a moment. "No, the fewer people in this, the better. No sense risking more. I have the partner I need for this. If it comes to any sort of a fight the game is over anyway." He hands Benjen a map. "Joanna knows where this village is from...back in the day. This map will get you the rest of the way to my weapon." He rises and offers a hand. "Good luck, brother."

Benjen looks down at the map, then up at Nicholas. "Brother... thank you, for this. Look after our sister, and yourself." He took Nicholas' hand and shook it. "Good luck. If all goes well we will see each other again soon."

Benjen waits for his wife to return to the chambers, seated with the map in his hand.

Joanna arrived around half an hour later, as no one had actually said Benjen had been waiting for her, and she spent a lot of her time at court, or in her own chambers. "I heard about the Ironborn," she said with the slightest frown. "What ever happened?"

Benjen had waited patiently, going over various things in his head. When Joanna entered he gave a sad smile.
"It seems they did not agree with certain things Lord Jaymes had to say," Benjen stated. "Or rather, they acted like Ironborn at a diplomatic meeting - Just as you would expect."

"They probably wouldn't," she agreed, knowing the Ironborn and knowing her brother. Since it would have not been perceived overly witty at the moment, she refrained from asking whether the Ironborn had raped everyone in the room, and then looted King Terrence's safe. "So now we also have them to go to war with."

"It seems that way, so we will need to reassess our plans," Benjen said, sounding a little annoyed by having to deal with the Ironborn now. "There is another matter that I wanted to ask you about. It concerns our ability to defeat the likes of Dayne and Vhagus."

Joanna didn't seem to mind too much, as she'd never been too fond of the Ironborn. The one at her house back in Lannisport had seemed a decent enough sort, but after the negotiation, she was not too sure anymore.
"Yes?" she asked, wondering if he thought she had magical abilities, too.

"Have a look at this," He said, handing the map to her. "Nicholas Snow has given me this and he told me you know the village this map refers to. I am sorry but... I need to ask you to come with me and decipher this. This map leads to a weapon that can hurt those who use magic. It eats it magic, supposedly."
