"Did they give any names?" Benjen asked, wondering if this was a trail without an end.

"An iron house? Where is it?" She said, thinking even the ironborn wouldn't make salt wives of ten year old girls... Well most of them. She was not sure anything these people could build would keep reavers out for long

Nelly looks around. "A friend made it for us. His name was Nicky. He was funny," she said. "It's a few hours away, across a river and in a swamp. He said the iron people hate swamps because they sink in it."

Carl nods. "Nick and Carla. Refugees from the Ironmen and their raids along the Stony Shore," he said.

Crowl finishes his ale and washes off his mouth with his sleeve, he turns to the nearest man who was watching him with wide eyed wonder. "Where a man get some good grub around these parts." He asks him.

"This is the good grub," Carl says to the giant. "Best meat pies for a whole village."

"Nick, hm," Benjen said with a nod. "Right then, I think I'll go sit down and have that ale." He smiled and went next door.

Crowl looks down at the meat pie and groaning inwardly, he takes a bite of the pie and wishes he had saved some of his usual meat instead of eating it all on the road.

"Oh really, Nicky was it. That was good of him, there are good people around, every now and again." She had no reason to think Nicky was their Nick, but it seemed as good a lead as any,
"I would hate for the iron men to make me salty too," Robyn confided, as if it were a secret, "do you think you or your dad could show me, maybe we can hide there together?" She offered with a bright smile.

Nelly looks around suspiciously and nods. She whispers. "All right, but I can only show you. Dad says I can't go anywhere with strange men."

"Of course," Robyn whispered back nodding , looking earnest, "it can be our secret, should I inform your guardian, I would hate for him to worry,"

"I'll be right back," she says, and walks to approach the bar keep, "sweet girl," she says, with no sense of irony in her voice, looking over at nelly for a second then back to Carl. "She has offered to show me round, and mentioned you looked after her while her father was away, may I have your permission, I would hate to get you in trouble with her da"

Carl shrugs. "Of course, my lady. She knows this place like the back of her hand."

"Excellent, no better guide round your lovely home" she smiled and asked the man for food and a skin of water for them both, paying extra, but not enough to get the mans throat cut for it.
She smiles over at nelly and beckons her over, whilst walking over to Benjen.
"This lovely girl has offered to show me around," she said, lifting her eyebrows to benjen to convey it may be more than that, we should not be too long brother," she didn't want to make nelly think she was breaking their secret, but also wanted benjen to know she was going off. Hopefully he would know she would not just up and leave for nothing

Benjen got the gist of what Robyn was and was not saying and nodded. They were siblings after all. "Be safe, sister. I would hate to lose you." He smiled. "We will be waiting here."
