House of Archibald Stone

[Amaz]

The house that had belonged to the Stone Family for years, before they fled to London. Here, Archibald Stone resides, studying and training, in anticipation of the day his family's name is etched in history forever, and all incidents in the past are forgotten. The house is open to all who willing to visit.

[Lord Slayer]

Jason on his way back to reinforce his men stopped at the new house. He never seen this house before and wondered who the new owners where. The house of payne always welcome new familys and this family would be no different. With the recent promotion of his brother Jason was always training and doing things for the good of the realm. He was wearing some armor that he borrowed from his brother Damien. He tied his horse up on a nearby tree and headed towards the house.

He walked up to the doors of the house and knocked on them twice. As he waited he thought back to the fight with the Bandits and wondered if that woman Morgana would find his brother Damien again or not. And with the little one home. He wanted to be a great uncle for her. But he cleared those thoughts from his mind and waited for someone to open the door for him

[Amaz]

A servant quickly responds to the knock, and opens the door.

"Good evening sir, what brings you here this day? If your business here has anything to do with the owner of this house, I must inform you that he is, unfortuantely, not home at this hour."

[Hector Barbossa]

Oliver passed the house he had been watching a pair of breeding falcons taking note of them, now on his way home he knocked on the door on impulse.

[Amaz]

OOC: I'm going to assume you came at a different time

The same servant answered the door

"Yes, good evening. If you would kindly state your name and your business, sir... I shall inform my master of your visit when he returns."

[Lord Slayer]

Jason listened to the servant. The man clearly was a loyal servant and it means that the family does have some money. How interesting that a freeman has so much money. Then again his family had a servant that worked once in a while. Sadly the master of the home was not home. He wanted to greet the man and welcome him to the Realm.

" I had wish to speak to your master and welcome him to the Realm. It is not often that you find a new household coming into the realm. Do you know when your master would be back ?. Prepares i could wait till he comes back. I really have nothing to do as of now. " Jason asked in a calm voice as he wondered where the mans master is and why the man was out of town so soon

The servant himself was puzzled by what the visitor had to say. New household? The Stone household had lived here for years.

"Please... do come in. I'm sure my master shall be willing to hear what you have to say."

The visitor was shown in the house, and directed towards a small chamber with few seats all encircling a small wooden table.

"Something to drink, sir?"

"Good morrow good fellow, i am Oliver Davis, keeper of the mews at St Edmund Hall, i was wondering if perhaps your master was in the market to purchase a bird of prey.I have nice selection all good stock and all at a reasonable price, dependent on social status of course.So if you would be so kind there`s a good chap."

Oliver gave his most winning smile and waited.

"Hmm... a most interesting fellow. Well, do come inside; he shall return not long from now, and might be interested enough by your offer to make his decision one most profitable for you."

[Hector Barbossa]

Oliver gave his most winning smile and waited.

[Hector Barbossa]

Oliver stepped inside and politely sat down, he looked around the place it felt comfortable, he looked over at Jason with a nod of his head.

[Lord Slayer]

Jason listened to the man and looked around the small room. He notice that another man had entered the room and he nodded his head back at the man. Wondering who the man was and why he was also hear. But he pushed those thoughts away from his mind.

" Yes May i have your finest wine ?. Oh and let me introduce myself.My name Is Jason payne and I am The brother of the Sheriff of the isle of wight. " He then turned his attention to the man that entered after him. He was really curious as to who this man was and why he was here. He never seen this man before and wondered if he was also new.

" Excuse me kind sir. I do not think we have met before. What is your name ? "

[Hector Barbossa]

I am Oliver Davis keeper of the mews at St Edmund`s Hall...did i hear you say you were Sheriff of the Isle of Wight?.

Oliver shuddered even as he mentioned the islands name.

[Lord Slayer]

Jason listened to the man and heard his name. But He was mistaken about the fact that he was the Sheriff of the isle of wight. But he shooked that thought away from his mind and looked at the man as he waited for his Finest wine.

" No i am the brother of the Sheriff of the isle of Wight. and nice to meet you Oliver. ahh You must be someone that owns a lot of birds. Its been ages since one of those people came into town. Anyway does the isle mean anything to you ? "

[Hector Barbossa]

I breed birds of prey yes and damn good quality as well....so you mean you don`t know what lives on the island then....no one informed your brother about the erm families that live in and around the ruins of castle Hoenstaufen.?

Oliver could not believe the King for it was he who appointed Sheriffs could have neglected to inform his representative of the horrors out there.

[Amaz]

As the two men were conversing, the servant heard the familiar footsteps of his master coming down the street. After immediately pouring a glass of wine for Jason, he ran outside and met his master at the foot of the door, informing him of two visitors who had come wishing to speak with him. He immediately entered the chamber where the two men were seated, and greeted them.

"Welcome, gentlemen. 'Tis rarely we get visitors, and when I do they nearly never have anything pleasant to say. But I believe differently about you two, from what my servant has told me. I trust he's treated you gentlemen very hospitably."

"Now, about why you gentlemen are here..." He said as he sat down opposite both of them, waiting for a response from either.

[Lord Slayer]

Jason listened to the man and wondered what was this castle that he was speaking about. His brother has not explored the whole island as of yet and will do that once things settled down for a time. He sipped his wine that the servant had given him and sipped it slowly.

" No i do not know what lives on the island. But I am sure going to find that out soon enough. It seems that me and my brother have a castle to explore in the coming days. And perhaps these family's will aid us in exploring the castle. Although i do wonder how you know so much about this island ?. The king gave us this island to run. So maybe he is testing us before we go on to bigger things ? " He turned his attention to the man that entered the home and notice that this man was probably the master of the home. He listened to the man speak

" Well Good sir i am here to speak to you and offer a warm greeting into the Realm. I do no believe we have ever met before and yes your servant was really kind and nice. So Are you new to this Realm or have you been here before although i never seen you before in my life " Jason said in a calm voice as he sipped his wine once more and waited to see what the man would say

[Amaz]

Oliver rose and extend a hand in greeting, he smiled warmly at the owner of the house.

I am Oliver Davis mews man i was merely enquiring to your man if you might be in the market for a bird of prey.

"A bird of prey, you say." Archiblad stroked his chin, eyeing the man with great interest

"Show us what you might have to offer, Oliver. I am quite curious, I myself am not very knowledgeable about birds of any kind, so if you would also explain the utilities of each, then I shall be eager to make my decision."

" Well Good sir i am here to speak to you and offer a warm greeting into the Realm. I do no believe we have ever met before and yes your servant was really kind and nice. So Are you new to this Realm or have you been here before although i never seen you before in my life " Jason said in a calm voice as he sipped his wine once more and waited to see what the man would say

"So it seems you must be very familiar with the locals, seeing as you have the ability to recognize a new face here. I myself have never lived here until recently; most of my life was spent in London with my mother, father, and 3 siblings. My family's origins, however, trace back to this very house. Now, the story of how I came to inhabit it is quite a long tale, and I don't think you'd be interested to hear it at this moment, where the time is short. However, it is nice to get to know someone around here for once. It pleases me to hear my ancestor's crimes are not known to all citizens who live here."

Turning to both gentlemen

"Oh, how absent-minded I have become. I am Archibald Stone, oldest son of Simon Stone."

[Lord Slayer]

Jason listened to the man as he sipped his wine. No he never heard of the stone family and even if he had their past was none of his concern. indeed was knowledgeable of the locals and who they where. Jason was well trained of the nobles and who they where and what relations they had with his family. This man indeed could become a good ally.

" The past is long gone my friend. God forgives those that confess their sins to a priest. God shows us mercy when we do something wrong. My brother Damien knows that lesson very well and now he is happy with his life now that he is cleansed of his sins of the past. And yes i have knowledge of the locals and who lives where. I use to live in London well outside of the city anyway. In a small home but that is before my family moved to the isle of wight. "

Jason heard the man name and smiled as he sipped his wine " Nice to meet you Simon. I am sure once you settle down fully in this house you will do great here. and feel free to visit my New home on the isle. You and your family are welcome to visit anytime. "

Jason turned to face the other man. " Sir Oliver you have not responded to my Question from before. How do you know so much abut the Isle of Wight ? "

"You're visit has been, a pleasure Jason. I will be sure to do so, perhaps from time to time."

Archibald smiled, and chuckled a little at the fact that he had been referred to by his father's name.

[Hector Barbossa]

Oliver rose and extend a hand in greeting, he smiled warmly at the owner of the house.

I am Oliver Davis mews man i was merely enquiring to your man if you might be in the market for a bird of prey.

[Hector Barbossa]

Oliver smiled and then spoke.

Well first sir i must ask thee what rank do you hold here in the land, you see the law dictates a certain individual may only own a certain breed according to his social status.
