She had let out a soft gasp after remembering her Lord's words about Tyrion's visit and quickly turned heel to head back towards the castle now. When she was inside, she closed the door and stood on it, back first with rapid breaths escaping over her parted lips. Madeline may have been the Lady of the house but she was really not ready to host someone with the caliber of Tyrion Lannister all by herself. She tried her best not to panic around others as she walked with her usual stance, head held high and hands clasped before her then went to the barking orders. [color=#C02B4E][b]"Please alert me whenever Tyrion's close. Make sure his chambers is ready and that we have the wine he requested there. Whores, does he still like his whores?"[/b][/color] She questioned but no one responded as she held a hand to her head with those rapid breaths coming from her again. Madeline was not ready for this type of responsibility but she was definitely handling it to the best of ability. [color=#C02B4E][b]"Go and make sure Lady Stelsa is ready for Tyrion's arrival."[/b][/color] She said politely towards one of the handmaidens nearby, who bowed and scurried to do as she was told. Again, she started to fidget with the necklace around her neck as she could not help but worry about her men, more importantly Lord Renault, Ser Marvyn and Radford, out there on the battlefield. She hoped that they remain safe and come back home to her and Stelsa. Not that she did not care about the other men but her Lord and Radford, along with Ser Marvyn were more important to her than anyone else. While she started a trek towards the dining hall, a male, a guard came over towards her and muttered. [b]"Lord Tyrion is here, my lady."[/b] The guard mentioned with bow as Madeline nodded her head and dismissed him with the wave of her hand. [color=#C02B4E][b][i]'Great.'[/i][/b][/color] She could not really wait for Stelsa to show her face so with all the courage mustered up inside of her and three guards surrounding her, Madeline walked with a sense of pride towards the double doors that lead to the inside of their castle. Now that she was outside, she plastered a greeting smile among her lips and opened her arms in a welcoming manner as her eyes gazed up towards the guard addressing Tyrion and his men. [color=#C02B4E][b]"It's quite all right. Tyrion's an important guest here and shall be treated as such."[/b][/color] Madeline said as the guard stood down and allowed Tyrion along with his men to enter further into the keep known as Ash Falls. [color=#C02B4E][b]"Lord Tyrion. I shall apologize for my Lord Renault absence but I am here to make sure your stay at Ash Falls is quite enjoyable until his return."[/b][/color] Madeline spoke with a bow and in a calm and greeting manner as she followed those words with a smile. [color=#C02B4E][b][i]'So far, so good. I hope anyways.'[/i][/b][/color] She thought to herself then cleared her throat before she continued to speak. [color=#C02B4E][b]"I am sure you'd like to rest from your journey. Malisa here will show you and your men to your appropriate chambers. Plus, my cooks are preparing a midday meal for all of us to enjoy."[/b][/color] She was doing really well or so she thought she was but since there was no one around to say otherwise, she knew that things were going well. [color=#C02B4E][b]"Oh, before I forget, welcome to Ash Falls."[/b][/color] Madeline muttered and ended with another smile as she turned heel to walk back inside of the castle. When no one was really focused on her anymore, she exhaled a sigh and lowered her head towards the ground before quickly picking it back up and continuing on towards the inside now.[/indent][/indent]
