[Jon looks rough, and he sounds it, too. Under his beard, his face is mottled, and he rubs at the affected area occasionally as he talks. His voice is a low rasp.]

I am seeking my sister. You might know her as Alayne Stone. Girl with long dark hair, but might be that you can see the red in it.

She has been missing for several days. I fear that she is lost in the forest, or that someone has taken her, or —

I don’t know what to think. She is simply gone.

One other thing. It’s not so important as finding Sa— as finding Alayne.

Will you tell me what you’ve done for your curses? I’m having a bloody hard time even thinking of how to set things right with mine. [He rubs at his beard yet again.] Harder still when my mind is on my sister.

I don’t know.

[He is confused and unhappy.]

But if the lady was able to set the lord’s children against him, she must have been their mother. She must have had the raising of them. Why would his wife have the other woman know her children well enough to poison them against anyone?

In the story, I don’t know if there was ever a wife. I don’t know if there were ever other children with other mothers, maybe trueborn. It was so long ago.

[Eleven hums. It’s difficult, without knowing the precise story as to its resolution]

But it’s the dishonorable lord you’re tasked with absolving and not the mistress’s vengeance?
