Jallek scurries through the Forrest carrying the dead body of the soldier and spots the other troops in the distance, he heads to their location and hands them their dead comrade saying, "That weasel thing headed off in that direction. Might wanna hurry."

Donavin was about to say something, but Orvil kicked him again. Donavin jumped up, and shouted at him, "Will you stop that!"
"No, cos your just being rude, and mean for the sake of it!" Orvil retaliated, getting to his feet also, and squaring up to Donavin. They were about the same height.
"So? She's just a Lonel. You've never had any trouble fighting them, or bringing misery to them before. Why the sudden change of heart?"
"I never said I liked them, I'm just saying your being unnecessarily cruel."
"Oh, shoot me! Oh, wait you can't, cus your terrible with a bow."
"Your a drunk, and a useless leader!"
"Your a puffed up ******. Who's all self righteous, and full of ****!"
"You can't even use real words! You always result in swearing, cus your too stupid to do anything else!"
"I'm not stupid! Maybe I'm just telling you what I really think of you!"
"And what's that? What do you think of me? Huh? Come on!"
"*****"
"Oh, I'm heartbroken!"
"***!!!"
"Seriously? Is that all you can say? You say all these things, but never back them up. Your pathetic!" 
"Well, that's easy for you to say! You were always the favourite child! I'm just an accident after too much alcohol!"
"So, you make yourself feel better by getting ****** yourself?"
"Who's swearing now?"
"Oh, you are so.....!"
"So, what?"
"Annoying!!"

Lady Bryony watched, aghast, as the two brothers fought. Finally, she stood up, "Oh, would you two stop it!" She yelled at them, coming between them. "You should have your mouths washed out with soap!" She snapped, pausing to draw a breath, then her head swung to stare accusingly at Donavin, "You should be thankful you have a brother, who cares for you. You shouldn't hurl such abuse at him! Or, for that matter, anyone! You're a no good drunkard who doesn't realize what he's got!" Now her head swiveled to Orvil, "You should be a bit kinder to him, and try to set him right. You shouldn't goad him like that!" She snapped, then paused for breath, "You're too self righteous - In that, at least, your brother is right." Then she started berating both of them at once. "You both need to straighten up, lay OFF the swearing, and the drinking, the name-calling, and probably countless others that I don't know about and don't want to! You humiliate yourselves carrying on like this in front of others. Do your men know that you resort to this, squabbling, name-calling, and accusing, to each other? As far as I can see, you're both pathetic in that you don't realize what you have with each other. You need to spend a more time with each other. I know that it would be too much to ask you two to apologize, but I at least hope you take some of this to heart, and don't start fighting with each other the second I step foot outside that gate. Now, I'm leaving. Oh, and I'm not going to declare war. Not only because my dying sister didn't want me to, but also because it would be pathetically easy. Good day." Bryony said, then stormed out the door.

Orvil, taken aback, just stared as Lady Bryony left, but there was still burning hatred in Donavin's eyes. And Orvil knew to wasn't at Lady Bryony, it was at him. Really, they'd just boiled it all down in that last argument. Donavin had been pushed to the back, ignored, not taken much notice of, and it had scared him. But no matter what Orvil did, Donavin wouldn't forgive him, and it was even his fault!
"Donavin, I...." Orvil began, but Donavin just glared at him. Then he turned, and limped out of the room.
Later, Orvil was furious with himself that he didn't go after Donavin, didn't try to talk to him. No, he was stupid enough to go, and follow Lady Bryony out, to make sure she left.

[Cornflower MM]

Lady Bryony heard the door slam, and then heard it open again and footsteps follow her. Turning, she saw Orvil. "Let me guess. Donavin took no heed of my speech." She said wearily, then sighed. "Just make sure you at least try to patch it up. He could be taken from you tomorrow, you know. I can find my own way out, thank you." She said kindly, then turned again and walked off slowly.

David had sneaked off and was now watching the lady Bryony being escorted out from the roof top. She did not look to happy but she also looked better than when she had come. Seeing as all three where still alive and none of them where missing any limbs. The meeting must have gone quite well by his book.

Jallek was headed back from where the guards had been searching for that weasel-thing, he still didn't know what it was, when he stumbled out of the forest and into a roadway right in front of Lady Bryony's escort. Almost in a second he threw his paws up, letting all his weapons fall from his sides as well as a few coins, "Please don't arrest me miss! I probably did whatever you think I did but please let me go, Oi know House Lonel folks when I see 'em." 

[Faiyloe]

OOC: They are still in the castle... and that is a good bit from the village.   

[AbbotAlf0809]

OOC: Ok my bad I didn't know

[rachel25]

Orvil didn't say anything. But let her go. Then he suddenly wondered. What had she meant when she said, He could be taken from you tomorrow, you know. Had it been a threat, or a reflection about her sister being snatched away from her?

[Cornflower MM]

Lady Bryony was now walking out of the castle with her guards, horribly aware that since she'd been crying, her face was probably puffy. But was alarming to er was that she didn't care.

[rachel25]

Orvil sighed, and walked back into the castle. He tried to find Donavin, but no one knew where he was, and Orvil certainly couldn't find him.

[Cornflower MM]

Arya decided to do something crazy, walked over to the spot where David had stuck the drink, picked up the bottle, and threw it at the door.

[rachel25]

Donavin was up in the tower. It was unused these days, but Donavin kept a good supple of strong drinks up here. He was half way through a bottle now, sitting with his back against the wall, and staring blankly ahead.

[Faiyloe]

David from his place on the roof heard something and quietly crept over to the tower and swung down landing on the windowsill.  he took one glance around at took it all in in a moment

"Well look who's here," he said Sitting down on the sill, feet inside. "Didn't well did it?"
