OOC
Hey all - sorry for lagging on stuff this week! I’ve been sick…but I’m back…Will catch up on mod stuff this weekend.
I’m also available to talk about plots and things, if anyone has any ideas or wants to discuss ideas and such. :)
I’m going to be out of town starting Tuesday through Saturday or Sunday for the holiday, but I should still be around online,...

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. Maybe Cat and Ned have come to Bear Hall before, to visit Jorah / because idk they were in bfn Scotland, and they met/connected then?
That sounds good to me (if it sounds good to Ned)! A Ned and Jorah connection might also be useful *shrugs*, just something to think about.
Yes - sorry, I thought you saw the post...

“I… never knew about that.” Galbart muttered, almost to himself. And it was little wonder; he’d been a small child back then, too young and far too busy running around and constantly fighting with Dacey to understand what was going on in his grown-up sister’s life. Only many, many years later had he started to understand how much she must have suffered: and yet in his memories...

OOC: Robert's Rebellion RP
miss-reed:
Gentlemen, I know this group here is fierce and epic and is taking over some of our RP lives. Yet, remember we had another one which was also fierce and epic? We can’t just forget about the RR, poor dudes over there think the group is dead.
As I’ve said before: The problem seems to be that we still have not reached Harrenhal over there - I think we were waiting for Laurel on...

Galbart sighed slightly. “Thank you. I hope you will be able to come to Scotland for our wedding. I am sure Mary would be thrilled to finally meet you in person.” he then said, with a smile of thinly veiled relief as he looked at Jorah.
“…I know. I wish she were here too.” he added in a soft murmur as his smile faded, lowering his eyes. His beloved older sister Erena, Jorah’s...

“I understand where you’re coming from, Jorah, but… the front? Is it really a wise decision?” Galbart asked, turning to face Jorah with a perplexed frown. “I can’t believe your cousins would agree with that. Or your aunt, for that matter.” And all that just because of his reluctance to write articles under a pseudonym. Galbart wasn’t sure whether to...

galbartglover:
Fancy hearing that coming from you. That was what flashed in Galbart’s mind for a sheer second, but the words just stuck in his throat when he tried to utter them. He gave a quick gulp, nervously shaking his head. “I- I just cannot face her. You can’t chide me for that, Jorah. And besides, things are… different, now.” Lowering his gaze again, he uncomfortably fingered the few...

galbartglover:
“I should do what? Apologize?” Galbart said, the bitterness in his voice barely concealed. “No, I don’t think I could face her. And the last time we talked to each other she made it quite clear that she didn’t want to see me again.” Although that wasn’t exactly how she worded it, he thought to himself. Several hurtful things had been said on both parts, culminating in Dacey giving...

“No, it’s… fine. I understand.” Galbart hurried to reply, suddenly staring down at the hat in his lap in a moment of embarrassment at his knee-jerk reaction. There was no denying the fact that he was upset, but he supposed that Jorah had acted with the best intentions… still, it was not exactly what Galbart was expecting when he got off the train, not like that, not after all that...

galbartglover:
Galbart simply sat there in silence, petrified for a few seconds, his face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and anger. Jorah had made no previous mention of the fact that he and Dacey had made up after their quarrel, and telling her of Galbart’s presence in London after all that had happened seemed… uncalled for, in a way. He knew what had happened.
“I’m glad you’re talking...

“It’s never a problem,” Jorah said matter-of-factly. He started to lead them through the crowd, weaving expertly as they made their way out of the station.
“I trust your journey went well enough,” he said when they had made it to the sidewalk. He approached a hired car and gave the driver the address of Galbart’s hotel. The driver then got out and loaded the...

“I’ll let him know,” Jorah said.
Then, he added, “We’ll do lunch—and sometime soon. Maybe we can get around to discussin’ yer mam and yer sisters…” And everything else you’ve been up to…He had missed so much in her life—in all of their lives—and he felt it hard right then. With a sad smile, Jorah held out his arms to hug her.
It was all the invitation that Dacey...

“Jorah. It’s so good to see you too.” Galbart greeted, almost breathlessly, as he stopped in front of the older man and dropped his suitcase to the ground with a loud thump. He shook Jorah’s hand, perhaps a little too firmly for his intentions, flashing him a thin, tired smile. For a second, he studied Jorah’s face. He was happy to see him looking so well, certainly far better than...

“I’ll tell him ye said hello, then,” Jorah said, letting go of her hand. “Or anythin’ else ye want to pass on.” He checked his pocketwatch and then stood up, smoothing his suit where it had wrinkled from sitting. “I best get goin’…”
“Just… tell him, that I hope his trip is quite successful…” For a moment she thought of asking Jorah to tell Bartie she was sorry, but...

Galbart got off the train, dragging along his heavy suitcase, still feeling dizzy from his lack of sleep. By the time he’d reached the platform his breath was ragged, and he had to stop in his tracks for a few seconds, looking at the crowd around him with a vaguely apprehensive look; Jorah had replied to his telegram, saying he would be there to pick him up at his arrival, but...

Jorah Mormont stood on the platform at King’s Cross Station, newspaper open to the Sport section. He wasn’t terribly interested in boxing match results or cricket standings, but he’d already been through most of the rest of the paper by that point.
He checked his pocket watch just as the train whistled in the distance. It would be here—Bartie would be...

Just one tree after another, one meadow after another, one river after another, and the constant threat of rain from thick black clouds overhead. The view from outside the train window was so dull that Galbart Glover barely bothered to look up from his newspaper anymore, idly eyeing the economy…

Meet Bartie at the train station? Could she actually do that, when just thinking of it made her feel ill from nerves. “Oh… oh I cannae… I have to take care of the children, even just comin’ here is a challenge. My time is nay me own.” That and she couldn’t bear to see who Bartie might react to her presence. She didn’t want to make his trip south anymore stressful then it already...

Smiling sadly, Dacey reached over to softly squeeze Jorah’s hand. “I miss her as well…” She was only ten when Erena had pass, but it was long enough for the woman to have an effect on Dacey. “And in a way, Bartie is family to ye…” She was oddly happy to have Jorah taking care of Bartie, as Dacey realized she would have been worried to have him in the city alone. “Someone needs ta...

Jorah laughed at her suggestion. “…that might be the way to go about it.”
When she asked about Bartie, Jorah nodded, keeping his countenance casual. He knew it had been four years since she’d talked to Bartie—and knew the circumstances as well, from Bartie—but was not about to let her know that. “Indeed—he’s supposed to send a telegram when he’s on his way, with his...

There was part of Jorah that wished Maege would come kick his arse. It would make things easier—he wouldn’t have to be the one to take action and it’s not like he didn’t deserve it…And he missed her.
