After the sermon and ceremony and the customary round of congratulations, Redtusk makes the suggestion, just between the two of them, that they should wait a week and then declare loudly and clearly that Falyse will return home on the morrow, and then have Robyn dress as a woman and borrow Falyse's cloak. It's not entirely clear how serious he is, but he does appear to hope that Robyn will go along with the idea, though one wonders if that is mostly for making the newly minted knight actually dress up in a gown, although the part about finding a breastplate with teats sounds a bit like the odd joke about breastplate stretchers that had sent fresh squires running around searching for something that does not exists. Lord Vardis never found anything like that funny, but Redtusk seems very much the sort of man who would pull pranks on any boy squiring for him, or anyone he has knighted, or his younger brothers or anyone else for that matter. He had been out hunting the day before, thus unable to join Lord Caswell's party riding to the rescue, apparently lingering in the hope that Ser Roland Cordwayner would pass by so he might gloat about having claimed his betrothed's favor, and see how the "lesser" Roland would size up in sword against sword for claiming it back. Apparently he was off doing some heroics in back in the Riverlands and thus would miss Redtusk's departure, he can't be expected to wait around in Bitterbridge for weeks and weeks.

Robyn lets loose a hearty laugh at the suggestion, initially taking it as a joke that would certainly come at his expense, "Well, if you think it is for the best, im sure you have plenty of dresses that I could choose from. Though," he chuckled again, "Youll have to help me pick a color. I think the red does more for your complexion than mine, wouldn't you agree?" his tone is playful, attempting to hash back what he was given. He is uncharacteristically calm in the situation, everything has gone by so fast that he has hardly had time to breathe. The pure shock and bewilderment that came with being knighted after yesterday's events is certainly one that hasn't left him, and would stay with him for quite awhile longer at that. But, in this situation, he somehow feels... better? Somethings fell into place and now he is able to be regarded as an active member of society, not just a supporting one.
If he continued with the joke, Robyn would play along, doing his best to give a good impression of himself to this monolith of renown. He is everything that Robyn hopes to be and then some, able to be charming as well as skilled on the field. He would, if pressed hard enough, wear the dress, again, joking that, "Those in armor are merely the playthings of those in gowns. I think we have always been playing there game." he laughed again, "I just became a knight, the Seven know I need to learn how to wield such power. If a dress is the only course of transition, then sign my name to the list"

On the admission that he doesn't have any himself, the scheme does not get very far, the suggestion to ask Lady Caswell for access to her wardrobe is worth it for the laugh, but Redtusk remarks that they'll have to be far more drunk to even think it a good idea to go through with, and in such a state it would be a very bad idea indeed. Two days ago Lady Falyse would laugh if the asked her, now though? Best not try it.
I think we can wind this down, the escort further south that Falyse gets will very much be ambush proof and largely uneventful if Robyn joins in.

Robyn would thank Redtusk for his time and everything he has done for him, and takes the rest of the day to relax, and settle into his newly acquired knighthood
Sounds good to me, Robyn would relax for awhile before heading home, and I imagine would receive whatever letter or message that his cousin wished to speak to him about this time? Before the events of Robyn's Return
