The Innkeeper watches the stark leave and nods quickly putting up a case of wine for the woman. "H....h...here...on the house."

"Before I deliver my message, The Princess was obvious. Firstly, her search for suitors is not secret, by any means, and she just visited the Eyrie, so here would be a logical place. Second, such a large retinue of Gold Cloaks, for you? And thirdly, you practically told me yourself. Two friends you want to protect? Simple. I didn't place an informer in your ranks. I'm a Hightower, not a Baelish. You need to control your temper Lord Stark, or people will die, myself not being the only one."
Gerold tried to reason with The Unburnt. His well-being, and Castle Black depended on it.
Use Diplomacy.

Wilhelm gives a deep breath. "If you are here to lecture me on the way I act when defending people I care for then I would gladly loose my anger over such matters. Next time do not act so shady or you may find yourself bleeding on the floor." He glares at him

"Really?" Lorraine looked pleased. "Thank you so much." She struggled to lift the case. When she turned around, she no longer saw Lord Stark. She looked around for him, confused. Perhaps it was best to just go upstairs. The case was far too heavy for her to lift, so she simply opened it and took two large bottles and slipped up the stairs and back into the chamber.
"Aelinor! I am sorry that took so long. The innkeeper...oh, this strange man with a single blue eye! He was trying to talk to Lord Stark, and he looked terribly upset." She handed Aelinor one of the bottles. "But I got what you asked for."

Aelinor takes the bottle looking confused,"A man with one blue eye?" She takes a sip from the bottle, she tastes it and nods. "And he and Lord Stark were talking?" Aelinor nodded again,"Well, we are safe here behind the door with Ladybright here." She smiled,"Do not worry..."

"Not just talking, Aelinor." She uncorked her own bottle, and took a sip. "Lord Stark had his hand on the hilt of his sword...and then before I came back up, the two of them were gone. I am sure Lord Stark can handle him, its just one man, after all."

The princess listened to her,"I am sure that if there is trouble, we would have heard something by now.." She took a swallow of wine this time,"Not Dornish Red, but it isn't too bad." She looked at Lorraine,"Drink... And do not worry, as I said we are fine. Lord Stark can handle himself, as you said."

Lorraine nodded, and drank again. "I know he can definitely hold his own. The other man looked determined...but quite frightened all the same." She pulled the pillows up against the headboard and lay back against them, drinking the wine still. "How will we ever sleep now, Aelinor?"

"Easily solved, we drink some more and then close our eyes", she smiled and took another swallow. "See, not that hard..."

Lorraine drank more, a warm and soft feeling spreading through her limbs. "Why did we not think of this before?" she wondered, closing her eyes and letting the feeling wash over her. "Aelinor?"

"Hmmm,"she answered, her eyes closed, the wine bottle on the floor beside the bed.

"I forgot," she murmured, giggling a little. "I guess we should try to sleep now."

The princess nodded, smiling lightly as she snuggled into the covers,"Yes.. I think we should."
"G'night Aelinor.."She giggled at her mistake and then drifted off to sleep.

"Fair enough. I will try and be straightforward with you."
With his current position he was in, Stark would never believe his findings about The Others, prophecies, and dragons. He would not waste his time, or precious knowledge on this man.
"The attack on The Wall is small for now, but will get much bigger. With several thousand men at your heel, you can defeat wildlings and giants easily. When Winter comes though..."
Gerold tried to warn Stark without actually mentioning The Others.
"Another attack will happen. Over 50,000... men will attack the wall. They will destroy Winterfell. They might get South as far as Riverrun. You get distracted for one second, your men go South for one fortnight, and Castle Black, not to mention most of the North, will fall. If you're wondering how I found such information, just look at how fast I found your little Princess. That is all."
Gerold wondered why he was trying to save the man who didn't trust him, pinned him against a wall, and nearly killed him. He slowly turned around to leave, opening the door.
