"I'll be in the yard," Leo said quickly, when Antaryon turned to see his answer. Elia laughed and so did Antaryon.
Leo frowned and turned back to Allyrian. "So you two hail from Dorne, also?" he inquired, already knowing about Amia but wondering about the rumors he had heard concering the man.

"Just as you wear the ancient ring of the Dayne's and are unlawfully not sitting the seat in Starfall," Leo said, "A usurper lord is sitting my seat in Dorne."

"Do you mean to say that you are of Martell descent? Or if I am mistaken, please correct me."

"If your claim is true, then you are my liege Lord, Leo." Arthur said humbly. "And I will serve you as Allyrian of House Dayne, Lord of Starfall, and rightful owner to the sword Dawn."

"Our claims are weak, for our families were thrown down 1,000 years ago," Leo said, "so we must make a plan of action soon. I will not wait year after year as my father did, and his father did, and so forth, until I am old and done."

At the last moment, Leo appears. "Will you take me to see this Royce fellow?" he asks Corbray. "They say he is honorable. I will have my family's seat back."

Lewyn smiled in ernest. "I would be glad to do so. He is a valemen like myself and former Lord Protector. He might be a little blunt but he is an honorable man. I shall take you to see him." With that they left.
