QUEENSMAN (Stannis)

[rheagartyris]

It was a foggy day as the lannisters aboard the ship kicked him awake, in the distance he saw Dragonstone he knew this was the end of his captivity . he decided to see the king imdiatly after landing for he had to thank him for ransom him and saving him from the horors of torture the lannisters would have given him.

[stannis]

Men loyal to Stannis were waiting on the docks to make the exchange, and for now no action was taken against the Lannisters on the ship. With the young Tyler in custody and under armed guard, the Lannister men were left on the docks, prevented from going anywhere except in the direction they had come from. They were not welcome and it was made all to clear to them. The armed escort that marched Tyler through the streets to the keep barely uttered a word to the man, keeping him stripped of his weapons and armour and leaving him in the shirt and pants he had been left with.

Stannis himself sat at the end of a long table, resting his head in one hand, fingers of the other picking at the food left on his plate as the door to the hall was flung open and the Tyris man was marched inside. With a wave of his hand Stannis dismissed the guards and waited for the door to be closed behind them before uttering any words,

"You disappoint me Tyler, a man in your position, of your breeding should know better then to act the fool in the hold of an enemy. What did you think was going to happen?"

He pushed the plate away from him and leant back in the chair, elbow on the arm, fingers scratching at the days growth that covered his chin.

"Convince me that you are worth more alive than as crow food food in the gibbets"

[rheagartyris]

Even though he was happy to be free again he was now worried that his liege lord was going to hang him he had to think of somthing to say "i am truly sorry for my action king stannis but all i attempted to do was to ruin the damned lions wedding with the poor falcon also i did not say a word to them that was useful infact i told them Bullshit!"he honestly hoped that was enough to convince his leige not to hang him

[stannis]

The fingers of the Lord's free hand tapped slowly against the wooden arm of the chair as he stroked his growing beard. He was not best pleased with the news that had reached him, and despite what the man claimed his actions had done little to dampen the spirits of the revellers at the wedding. In fact all it had achieved was to reap embarrassment on Tyris and his family and as a by product of his actions, embarrassment on Stannis and House Baratheon. There would be a price to pay for such things and they could not be measured in Dragons.

"And even in that you failed, for all your antics, the only thing you managed to achieve was to have yourself thrown into the dungeons and lose me a pile of Dragons"

The man in the chair shifted and leaned back against the rest behind him, hands clasping together in front of his body, eyes fixing on the person brought before him. It was said that he was harsh with his punishments but he was also fair,

"Tyler Tyris, it is my decree that your family be taxed the Dragons paid for your release, and further more to remind you of your manners and give you reason to think twice should you ever consider such actions in the future, you will receive 20 lashes to be administered in the courtyard at midday tomorrow. Guard!"

The doors behind the man opened once more into the hall as four armed guards entered once more,

"Be thankful i did not ask for your head."

[rheagartyris]

He let out a sigh of relief he was going to live at least despite the cost he was disapointed because of the toll on his family but HE himself deserved the lashes he hoped he wouldnt cry ou.

he was also glad ge had such a just liege the bastard joffery would have had his head for a lesser crime.

[stannis]

As the guards entered Stannis turned his attention away for the moment his eyes flicking to the plate of food he had discarded, letting them men work, fastening the shackles the Tyler's wrists and making sure they were bound in place. When they were done he stood and turned his gaze back on the young man,

"Make no mistake, cause such an embaressment again and at best you will be left to rot in whatever cell you fall into. At worst your execution will make other think twice about how they represent my House in the presense of others"

He waved his hand and watched as the guards escprted the Tyris man to the cells for the night, there would be not special treatment for him this evening, he was to be a guest in the dungeon untill his punishment was finished. He knew that he should have made an example of the man but at times like these, and even as loathe as he was to admit it the man had some uses and might prove valuable in the coming months ahead. If not...well accidents had a way of happening on the battlefield...

----Skip to morning in cell/courtyard----

Stannis stood beside the post with a number of other nobles and commanders awaiting the prisoner, the captain of the guard stood a short distance away, bullwhip in hand, hands testing the leather with practiced fingers...
