Elyriel Winters: aye, your Majesties

William Scott II: *nods*
William Scott II: Care to be seated?
William Scott II: *smiles*

Elyriel Winters: *nods*

William Scott II: *moves the bottles away*

Elyriel Winters: I’ve not done anything wrong, have I, milord?

William Scott II: Well…

Jocelyn: *smiles faintly*

William Scott II: This is… a delicate subject milady
William Scott II: In sooth thou hast done nay a thing wrong
William Scott II: The situation is more the result of… misinformation..

Jocelyn: *folds her hands quietly*

William Scott II: or simple lack of information

Elyriel Winters: *listens*

William Scott II: I… had been informed but days ago…
William Scott II: That thou hast been placed under Ser Wraith…
William Scott II: *pauses*
William Scott II: as his… squire

Elyriel Winters: Aye, your Majesty. I have.

Jocelyn: *frowns faintly*

William Scott II: With all due respect to thee Elyriel….
William Scott II: This is… unusual…
William Scott II: Indeed, uncommon to mine eyes and ears in sooth

Elyriel Winters: *swallows*

William Scott II: Might I ask thee…
William Scott II: Why specifically wouldst thou attempt the path of Knighthood?

Elyriel Winters: Tis been my dream since I was a child, sire.
Elyriel Winters: *smiles softly*

William Scott II: An unusual dream, is it not?
William Scott II: I mean…
William Scott II: Mayhaps I am… lacking something here but…
William Scott II: For the best of mine knowledge…
William Scott II: I have known o
William Scott II: of nay female Knights…
William Scott II: well…
William Scott II: nay in Winterfell I suppose

Elyriel Winters: *shrugs slightly*
Elyriel Winters: Twas never a thought to me, sire

William Scott II: Nay?

Elyriel Winters: *looks down*
Elyriel Winters: When I was little
Elyriel Winters: my mother told me stories

William Scott II: *looks slightly dissettled, but listens closely*

Elyriel Winters: I always loved tales of knights
Elyriel Winters: I kept that love even after she… died.

William Scott II: *looks to Jocelyn briefly*
William Scott II: *looks back to Elyriel*
William Scott II: *nods somberly*

Elyriel Winters: *looks up*
Elyriel Winters: I want to help people, sire

Jocelyn: Tis nay… traditional for a woman to take on such a role in sooth.

Elyriel Winters: To defend those who cannot defend themselves

William Scott II: Thine desire is appreciated milady

Jocelyn: *nods*

Elyriel Winters: Sir Wraith has taught me much, your Majesties.
Elyriel Winters: I want to be as he is

Jocelyn: Thy intentions are good… I am just nay sure if this path is one …
Jocelyn: That a woman should tread.

Elyriel Winters: *pales slightly*

William Scott II: As said before… tis a .. delicate matter

Jocelyn: *nods*
Jocelyn: Twill be considered carefully by the current Knights of Winterfell.

Elyriel Winters: *nods slightly*

William Scott II: Milady…

Jocelyn: But I fear Miss Winters that to be quite honest with thee…

William Scott II: Might I request something?
William Scott II: *looks to Jocelyn*

Elyriel Winters: Aye, sire?

Jocelyn: I dissapprove of this.

Elyriel Winters: *blanches*

William Scott II: If… it is decided this path is nay… appropriate… do nay lose hope?

Jocelyn: Tis nay my decision to make however.

William Scott II: In sooth, Jocelyn and I have thought of alternatives…

Jocelyn: *nods*

Elyriel Winters: *swallows hard*

William Scott II: Positions just as respectable I would think…
William Scott II: Mayhaps… I would even be so bold as to say…
William Scott II: A specialized order, with women of thine drive and loyalty
William Scott II: It is being given much thought

Elyriel Winters: *softly*
Elyriel Winters: aye, sire

Jocelyn: Nay less than the standard Knights…

William Scott II: *smiles reassuringly*

Jocelyn: But different.

William Scott II: Aye…
William Scott II: We mean nay to kill thine dreams milady….

Jocelyn: If this path is chosen…
Jocelyn: We may even look to someone of thy … visions… to lead such a group.

William Scott II: *nods*
William Scott II: Indeed.

Jocelyn: Lady Fox would be another that would do well at this I should think.

Elyriel Winters: *smiles faintly*

William Scott II: *nodding*

Jocelyn: Though she may beat me for mine opinions as stated here this eve.
Jocelyn: *smiles faintly*

William Scott II: We mean nay disrespect in the slightest Elyriel…
William Scott II: We wish to make all turn out favorable to everyone

Elyriel Winters: *nods*

William Scott II: *smiles*

Jocelyn: *nods*

William Scott II: I suppose that is all there is to say for the nonce.

Jocelyn: I do nay doubt thy heart or skills milady…

William Scott II: Unless thou hast anything?

Jocelyn: *nods*

Elyriel Winters: Nay, your Majesty

Jocelyn: If thou dost wish to speak on this..
Jocelyn: Please do be open.

William Scott II: Aye….
William Scott II: Be frank if ye wish…

Jocelyn: We will nay hold thy words against thee.

William Scott II: This is private

Elyriel Winters: … I know not what to say.

William Scott II: *nods somewhat*
William Scott II: Think on it overnight mayhaps?

Elyriel Winters: *nods*

William Scott II: If thou wishest to speak again on the matter
William Scott II: We will be most open to listen

Jocelyn: As I said though… we will honor the wishes of the current knighthood.

William Scott II: *nods*
William Scott II: Aye, truly said
William Scott II: Shouldst the knighthood have no qualms…
William Scott II: We shall respect its wish….

Jocelyn: I will honor that even though I do nay approve of it.

William Scott II: Though bear in mind Elyriel…
William Scott II: Is that occurs…
William Scott II: Thou wilt have more expected of thee…

Elyriel Winters: *straightens shoulders*
Elyriel Winters: I won’t shirk my duties, sire

William Scott II: *nods once*

Jocelyn: I will expect thee to conduct thyself befitting of a lady as well in manners.

William Scott II: Tis good to hear.
William Scott II: *nods in agreement*
William Scott II: Aye.
William Scott II: We shall nay keep thee longer milady.

Elyriel Winters: *nods*

William Scott II: Please rest and think on all of this

Elyriel Winters: I will, your Majesty.
