Robyn and his companions makes good pace, and yet they arrive no sooner than two of Lord Appleton's men also spots her and calls out "You will need to come with us M'Lady" she merely gives them a look and meekly starts to stand, head held low in apparent resignation that this would happen eventually, she knows her likely fate, but finds in her no will to struggle against it. Robyn and his companions could intervene of course, although the wisdom of doing anything to obstruct Lord Appleton's pursuit of justice is surely questionable. At the very least, these are decidedly not Oakheart men. Robyn wasn't going to intervene, Lord Appleton would surely understand what had happened and respond appropriately. But watching Wenda rise and move with the same spirit that a condemned man did towards the noose wasnt something he could idly watch. He strode over to her, delicately helping her stand as he looked to the two Appleton men with a scornful glance, before trying to meet her gaze, "My lady, I have brought your family," Robyn smiled in an attempt to reassure her. He looked back to the captain, standing tall, "With your permission, ser, I would like to accompany the Footlys to where you are taking them. Lady Wenda shared some information with me that I do not want to be overlooked or ignored," If Lord or Lady Footly didnt rush to their daughter, he would help her walk to wherever they were taking her.

Mmmm, I was assuming you guys went to find Wenda first, and the Footly's were headed to see Lord Appleton?

Lord Walgrave is not very interested in hearing from Daeron whose timid hesitation had contributed to the failure of the campaign in The Red Mountains to flush out The Vulture King, or at least provoke The Dornish into retaliation, although if killing Vorian Dayne did not manage as much, more enthusiasm and loyalty to the cause from Addam and Daeron would probably not have been enough.
Though his opinion may be clouded by the realization that his information about a new Vulture King turned out to be false, but on this he has never pondered. No matter, there would be a trial, and all who had a hand in his nephew's death shall hang, or lose their head, the latter was no fate fit for a Viper, but he would not trifle on such details if Lord Addison decided on using the sword.

Mmmm, I was assuming you guys went to find Wenda first, and the Footly's were headed to see Lord Appleton? I thought I was leading everyone to her? Since I informed everyone that I knew where she was and started heading that way. That way if the Oakhearts would have been there, he could have made sure that he wasn’t alone in that clash

That would probably require Robyn to be pushy since the men have orders to bring Lord Footly to the solar, and Lord Footly understands enough to know where this goes, and will prefer people friendlier than Walgrave to get to Wenda first, not risking a big argument that might delay things.

What if it was just the captain of the guard then that followed? He seemed to want to find her, the guard can take the Footlys to the Solar, and Robyn could still ask to accompany her?

If Robyn tells the Appletons he knows where she is, they'll be very eager to have him show them.

I apologize for not making it clearer, but that is what he was trying to do in my post after the Captain walked up, was inform everyone, including the Appleton’s and the Footlys, that he knew where she was and was taking them to her

If Robyn has additional information, then surely Lord Appleton would wish to hear of it. The Captain of the Guard suggests, although some waiting may be required given the gravity of the situation.

Robyn gave another attempt, nodding in agreement to what he spoke but his tone getting a little firmer, "Waiting isnt a problem, but I would prefer to not let Lady Wenda out of my sight. Especially after Lord Oakheart's outburst; I was hesitant to leave her before and am even more so now. Given the gravity of the situation, more hands trying to keep the peace are worth having, correct?" If he denied Robyn's attempt again, Robyn would nod and watch her leave. Otherwise, he will follow and make sure nothing foul occurs in the Solar.

Act 1:
Robyn was trying to meet as many new faces as he could during the festivities. While he had been to countless feasts before, no one really took note of him until a few months ago when he went from squire to knight, and to be very honest he hadnt taken note of them either. He was all smiles, attempting to be as charming as Redtusk; though, Ser Roland had a natural charm and an innate sense to understand others' perceptions without playing into them, not to mention a legendary ability with the blade.
In other words, Robyn had a long way to go before he could even compare.
There was one who caught his eye as he made his way through the crowd. A stunning beauty with a twinkle of mischief in her eye. Great Bastards always seemed to stand out, and Lady Ysilla was one that he had intended to talk to for awhile now. He approached her, giving a slight head bow, "Lady Ysilla, I had been meaning to thank you. I heard you were there when the attack on my sister occurred, and killed a majority of the assailants," Robyn tone was sincere, humbling himself, "Thank you. I earned my spurs for less; it's a shame you dont have a set of your own."

Ser Robyn may have such preferences, but considering the gravity of the situation, it is best if Lady Wenda will have no visitors allowed, including any from Old Oak.
"At least you saved the girl" Ysilla doesn't seem too pleased to be reminded of that incident. "No offense, ser, but those spurs seems more like an illusory lie of honor and gallantry to make all ignore the fact that all knights takes lives for the ambitions of lords and kings and most brag about it, too, as if it's all sport." Whether she had overheard some of Robyn's boasts, or just feels like putting the young knight on the spot, who can say? "I don't want any"

Whether she had overheard some of Robyn's boasts, or just feels like putting the young knight on the spot, who can say? "I don't want any" "Then fetch me before anything drastic occurs, or my preferences will become your problem, understand?" Robyn glowered at the Captain, before turning to Lady Wenda, "Tell them everything you told me, justice will prevail, you are not as guilty as you view yourself, alright?" He tried his best to meet her gaze, but as he watched her be led away, Robyn felt a pit in his stomach slowly building, as regret set in. "There were a great number I didnt save on that day," Robyn sighed, "No offense taken, my lady, and I hope no offense was given with my thanks. Ash was a fighter, and more skilled than I could ever be. I imagine that you are the same, that is all I meant by my comment." He raised his shoulders despondently, "I dont blame you for not wanting them, I often fear I dont live up to the honor and gallantry you call an illusion that they represent. But I am no pawn, my lady; I earned the respect they garner and I regret it every day," He raised his glass before drinking from it, a long swig to clear his mouth of the truth he spoke. "If you do not wish for knighthood, Lady Ysilla, then what do you long for?"

The captain is annoyed, but sourly comments that if Lord Walgrave, or more likely some fool eager to take justice in his own hands, tries to get in, the alarm will be raised and Robyn could help, but it is unlikely to be needed.
It appears that he forgot to mention Robyn to Lord Appleton, for no summons arrive.
"I want peace, prosperity and a summer that never ends for all people" Ysila offers with a grimace, knowing well that this is not possible. "Beyond that, I just want to go to bed with a smile on my face every day."

"I want peace, prosperity and a summer that never ends for all people" Ysila offers with a grimace, knowing well that this is not possible. "Beyond that, I just want to go to bed with a smile on my face every day."Robyn angrily taps his fingers on his crossed arms. As time passed he began to feel as though he should have just fled with the girl, long before others knew of what happened, and that maybe it was too late for justice. But he had faith in Lord Appleton, and knew that he would do the right thing. His eyes glanced at Roland and Mikel, trying to see if they had the same unease that he did, "I dont like this, not one bit..." But as much as he wanted to rush in and try to figure out what was going on, he wouldnt move. Not unless someone else did something drastic first, in which he would do as he needed to. He also kept his eye on the Oakhearts, making sure the lord and his men didnt stray from the feast. "Noble desires, and I certainly share both of them," Robyn chuckled though his nose, "I have often found that smiling is a choice though, not something that is a guaranteed every day. Of course, if you manage to find someone that makes you smile, I imagine sharing the same bed with them would make that want a reality," He smiled, "But that is all you want? Good for all and a smile? Not that there is anything wrong with those, by any means, but I doubt your desires are so simple," Robyn raised a defensive hand, "You are, of course, free to not tell me: we have only just met and I do not mean to offend. I am not good at conversations, or so people tell me, and am even worse when talking to someone as fair as yourself."
