Leman entered the hall he hoped for the last time this night. He had done good work, and now needed to finish this. But he could not know how many ships would be in that harbor; he needed more men. He needed Baelish. The bay that the Goat had spoken of was near Baelish lands. Baelish would want to help, as undoubtedly this pirate had made a nuisance of himself to the Lord. Leman saw the man talking with a few other higher ups. He went and grabbed a drink, waiting for him to finish.

(92 + 70 = 162) high pass People take notice of "Abel the bard," many of them quietening their conversations so that they may listen. |

Jory bows to them all, "I suppose I should give an example of my work. Though it is not much." He strums his harp and begins playing the tune to The Bear and the Maiden Fair. I hope I don't screw up. Jory prayed to himself in thought.
"A bear there was,
A bear, A BEAR!
All black and brown,
And covered with hair!
Oh come they said,
Oh come to the fair!
The fair? said he,
But I'm a bear!
All black and brown,
And covered in hair!"

(instrument: 51 + 40 = 91, singing: 36)
While his playing is tolerably good, the singing is horrendous...most likely due to his unfortunate choice of song. The Bear and the Maiden Fair is nobody's favorite song over the age of five, and hardly anyone is drunk enough to be impressed.

With the corner of his eyes, while waiting for Trajan to answer his question, he sees a young bard entering the hall.

(Question, do I need the actual words to sing? Because I can't find the words for The Dance of the Dragons anywhere .-.)
Jory smiles, "It seems no one likes that song. A shame, it's one of the most highly requested ones at most other feasts, then again, I suppose most of them are drunk." He takes a seat and asks for a cup of wine. "I'll need it to loosen my tongue a bit."

Podrick Baelish's observation roll: (96 + 40 = 136)
Podrick Baelish could see that this "bard" was indeed his man, Jory Farice.

Holy shit... It's Jory... He took a deep breath and tried no to look tense infront of Trajan. This boy is going to get me killed.... Keep calm Pod, you might never have this opportunity again, focus on the book...

"You are a strong lad." he said to Oakheart. "but Jonnet needs a wife and who better than the princess? I know you want her and same with that Blackfyre. I will give Jonnet's hand when the summit continues. Will you step aside for your future liege and close friend?" "Oh, I had never thought I had a chance in the first place. I am only the third son of a lower lord." Third sons aren't good for much, they're maesters or knights and at the very most a back up plan, Aran thought. "Jonnet is my friend and I wish him the best. I had asked the princess to dance later on, if the time comes I will step aside for Jonnet." |

Jory notices a bit of a despondent look on Aran's face and walks over to him. "Excuse me, ser, may I ask something of you?"

Aran looks at Jory, who he recognizes as the man he saw being escorted out when he arrived.
"Hmm? I suppose so, as long as it doesn't get me escorted out by the Kingsguard."

Jory taps Aran on the shoulder and whispers in his ear, "Now now, Abel, Abel, remember my name."
Jory gets up and looks at the crowd. "Well then, everyone, for my next song, I shall play The Dance of the Dragons for the lovely princess and her family!" He turns and finds himself a nice spot to play and begins moving his fingers over the harp's strings gently.

This song is much better received by the guests. It is no marvel of music, but even the princess smiles at it's sweet strains.

As the song draws to a close, Jory makes one last bow and returns to the table, "And now, it is time to eat and drink and make all forms of festivity!" He was about to laugh in joy, but quickly snapped his mouth shut. No, that is one thing they will remember, I must keep silent.

" Dragons... can... burn..." Pod said while he wrote down Trajan's last words. "Hmmmm.... it must be fantastic to be one of the few men who went there and came back alive..." Pod's eyes gleamed in amusement, he'd always dreamed about visiting the ancient lands... "And how was that you managed to get there?" "Figuring out how to get there safely is half the adventure." Trajan answers with a smirk. "I wont be making that pubic knowledge." It had taken tireless study and some of his own blood to traverse those lands safely. The demons said to infest those lands were no myth. |
