Tywin Lannister

"Good morning. Are you ready for this? Today is going to be a long day. Hopefully we can do this efficiently though and it won't be too strenuous."

"I've been more than ready. It was reported that they have quite a bit of young children with them, I think the best way to approach them is in a calm manner. After they're surrounded of course. We don't want them to get too defensive of themselves and their families or it could cost us casualties. I don't want that."

"Neither do I. We'll have to make sure we have them completely surrounded before they realize we're there." 

"If you'll permit it. I'd like to go down and be a mediator of some sorts. I'll let them know their situation and that we would like to be peaceful."

"That's fine. After we have them surrounded of course. I am not giving them any chance to escape. Not again." 

"I completely agree. Alexis and I will go prepare everyone."

"Good. Meet back here when everyone is ready." 

Alexis and I nodded and left his tent.

I left my tent to watch the progress. Everything was running smoothly and I was anxious to get this over with so we could return home.

Once Alexis and I had the soldiers briefed I went back to my Father's tent. "We're ready, sir."

"Good. Let's go make sure the carts are ready," I said and led them outside to the carts. They were enclosed with bars on the windows. "We'll have the men in these carts, the women in those, and the children in those," I said, indicating each one. "A few of the women can stay with the children and any infants that are there. Are there enough provisions for the ride home?" 

"Yes, Sir."

"Good," I said and turned to Alexis. "Are the men ready to get into position?"

"Yes, they are. I believe they're just as anxious to get home as we are."

"I can imagine. Let's move out then. I want their camp completely surrounded before they move in."

"Let's do this." I said and the three of us left the tent.

We got everyone in position and sent the first group of soldiers down. When they'd secured the perimeter, we sent the rest in then followed behind. It was past time we got this done.

I left Harper in charge for awhile and decided to go see Tywin. That is, if if he felt like having visitors. Once I arrived at the Capitol I was escorted to his office.



I looked up when there was a knock on the door. "Come in." 

They let me in the door and closed it behind me. "Welcome home." I smiled as I walked up to his desk and took a seat across from him.



"Thank you," I said as I looked up at her. "What brings you here." 

"Evan came to see me bright and early this morning. For alcohol purposes that is. Are you trying to put me out of business?" I asked teasingly. 



I smiled a little. "Not at all. You know that could never happen. I have my reasons for what I did." I got up and poured us both a drink. "So what did Evan have to say?" 

"He said she was a bitch but I don't really blame her, to be honest. However, things could be a lot worse for her and the others. At least they have good men."

"Very good men. They're my best soldiers."

"They're good at a lot of things. What were your reasons?"

"My reasons for what, exactly?"

"For allowing those ladies to marry." 



"Because it is the best place for them. They don't belong in prison, and I cannot allow them free access to society. I abolished the slave trade, so this was the best option for them."
