Options

"We will impose the lightest forfeit that won't make them think me toothless."

Alvyn of Oldtown

Alvyn's eyes widen and he shakes his head. "My [lady/lord], I am s-sure none of your smallfolk will th-think that! They kneel to your authority."

None

"The light forfeit then. A little livestock for a handful of lives."

"As fair as possible, Alvyn. Something they'll feel, but not enough to make them suffer."

Alvyn of Oldtown

Alvyn peers at his figures. "Cows, pigs, sheep...I have designated a simple payment, but one they'll remember well past the next great winter."

Truthful

"Make it so, Alvyn. The fairest possibly forfeit."

"Fair is one word, Alvyn, but did you ever notice how much it sounds like fear?"

Simon Groat

Groat sidles next to a sputtering Alvyn. "Calm yourself, my friend. Our [lady/lord] just wants them to pay a proper forfeit. Say...half their livestock?"

Cunning

"Good idea, Groat. Take half their animals. They'll remember this forfeit forever."

Alvyn smiles and looks down at his hands, holding them still. "It is a sadness that death came to Spillstones, but we can look forward to better times."
Alvyn hands a page to Ser Hugo. Hugo reads it, nods, and says, "Lighter than I'd have chosen, my [lord/lady], but none will deny you are fair."
Groat says, "Careful, Avyn, you mustn't let every little thing surprise you. My [lord/lady], I have already drafted the order for your mark."
