Brienna

Brienna smiled. "Of course I do. I'm just glad that you left no one behind. I meant that would be horrible if you had." She said softly not wanting others to hear them. When she finished inspecting his wound she let her hand slide down his arm to his elbow and let it rest there. She couldn't help the feelings he had arisen in her and she didn't want them to stop just yet. "The party is nearly over would you like to go in if the crowds have died down? Samuel won't be available for a little while yet."

She shivered slightly as the cool wind entered the castle window and she stepped back a little and allowed her hand to slide into his. She smiled up at him not caring if he could see her blush or not.

Brienna

Brienna caught his eyes as he turned to look at her and she smiled. She saw the interest there and it made her feel a little excited. When he mentioned his mother though she stopped and her smile faded just a little. He had lost his entire family when he landed in that tree. She wondered if he had someone, a wife or children. This thought made her feel awful. "Jason, did you have a wife and children back home?" She whispered close to his ear. She fervently hoped he would say no but kept her expression controlled just in case.

Remembering his stitches she inspected them and frowned. They were a little deeper than necessary. That had to have hurt. She made a mental note to speak to William about that. She hissed slightly as she touched the spot softly. "I'll speak to William about this." She promised him.

To anyone looking at the pair they would look to be in an intimate conversation. Her face was close to his ear and they were looking out the window together. This is what Elizabeth saw when she left the party.

Brienna

Brienna winced. She had momentarily forgotten about his head injury. "I'm sorry that he wasn't more careful. I try not to ask too many favors from William but I really had little choice. I should have done it myself." She smiled at his comment about William's cooking.

"I hope you don't mind but I got you a job as a castle guard. You will protect the castle and you will have your own room. It's small but you will have your own bed, some prestige, respect and some coin for your work. You will also be close at hand in case you need my help with anything." She added this last part and blushed. She was thankful that the light was dim and he would not likely see her reddened cheeks.

Once inside the castle she heard the music and was quick to smile. "The head guard's name is Samuel. He is the one you need to speak to but right now he is guarding the queen at the party." She stopped and looked out the window, down the hall from the party. There were fireworks of a sort being set off and she smiled brilliantly at the pretty colors lighting up the night sky.

"Jason do they still do this where you come from?" She whispered close to his ear while looking out the window.

Alexis

It took everything in her to keep her control and not throttle the woman. The smile she plastered on her face was forced and uneasy to say the least. "Elias isn't well enough for visitors. You should have checked with my aunt first." Looking at Elias and seeing his anger at the other woman somehow made her feel slightly better. The room was increasingly uncomfortable for Jenora and within a few minutes she had excused herself and apologised for the intrusion and left.

When the woman left the room Alexis laid her head on the door for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief. She walked back to the bedside table and focussed on the task at hand not wanting to make Elias angry with her. "You should lay back. I'll prop you up with a pillow so you can eat." Fluffing his pillows and adding one to his collection she helped him sit up.

"Elias I-" she stopped, visibly stumped on how to put her thoughts into words that wouldn't push him away from her. "I know you have lady 'friends'. I just don't appreciate them in our home. If you could please keep them away...I'd appreciate that." The pain shone in her eyes and she turned away from him embarrassed for him to see how much it had affected her.

Nora

Nora saw the young man enter Roseburgh and thought little of it. When he tried to speak to the few people around she saw the effect on them that he had and she smirked a little. Carrying her smithy hammer she walked over to the crowd that had gathered around to taunt him. Walking through it she went right up to him and the crowd immediately stopped throwing stuff at him.

"Nora! Get out of the way lass!"

Turning to the man who had spoken she shook her head. "Nay Earl I'll not allow you to keep throwing refuse at him you are stinking up the place!" She shook her hammer at the group and they began to disperse with chuckles.

Turning back to the newcomer she looked him over and asked, "What kind of help did you need? If it's food or water you are on your own. These people here won't feed you they have too little. There is nothing left here to sustain life that isn't already being fought over. If it's something else maybe I can help."

Brienna

Brienna tended to Elizabeth and then finished her own appearance. She made her appearance at dinner and then she stayed for half of the dancing and mingling before she begged off to take care of a personal matter. Elizabeth didn't look happy but agreed to allow Lillian to tend her the rest of the evening. Brienna went to find the head of the guard who was not too terribly far from Elizabeth. After convincing him to put Jason to work as a castle guard she headed to the guard's quarters to get his room set up for him.

Still hearing the music she had a little skip in her step. She really liked the dancing part of the evening. Sighing she resigned herself to missing that part. Humming she walked down to William's house and knocked on the door.

William answered the door and his breath stopped as he looked at her. Brienna had such a glow about her that she literally took his breath away. "Is everything alright?" She was asking about Jason and William nodded as his lungs filled with air very slowly.

"You look absolutely beautiful this evening Brienna." William said already knowing what her response would be.

"Why thank you as always William." She knew he was taken with her and she tried never to encourage the attention from William. She felt bad having asked him to take care of Jason for her. Seeing Jason she smiled. "I've found a place for you. Come and I'll take you there."

"William please take this as payment for the clothes and shoes. I'll not hear a word about it." She said pushing coins into his hand. "Thank you. You've no idea how much you have helped me this evening." William nodded.

She handed Jason the cloak he had left in her room. "You should put this on it's a bit chilled tonight."

Leaving William's house they walked back towards the castle. William closed the door and watched as they walked back towards the castle through the window and he was very unhappy about the favor Brienna showed the young stranger. He wondered where he had come from and decided he would find out.
