"Ser Hugo, how can anyone simply walk onto my lands and carve out a holdfast?"

Ser Hugo looks uncomfortable. "I don't know how our guards missed that, my [lord/lady], but we can certainly drive that upstart bastard off our holdings."

"Make an example of this one, Ser Hugo. I won't encourage every squatter in Westeros."


Icon-Quest-Convo
"Maester Lucas, you look as though you wish to say something."

"We can ill-afford another battle at the moment, my [lord/lady]. I would advise allowing our squatter friend to remain, until we can learn who he is."

"The squatter shall remain until we know more, then we shall deal with him."


Icon-Quest-Convo
"Is there another option we might consider, as we deal with this upstart?"

"It often happens that someone with a trace of noble blood settles down on a patch of unwanted vergeland. Must we fight? Why not offer him a title?"

"We shall have a sworn sword approach this upstart and see if he will bear our colors."
