Riverrun 280 Lord Hoster Tully

He watched his children with pride his eldest son Edmure sparred with his younger brother, Jasper was a huge boy only a two years younger than Edmure but already had half a foot of height over him Jasper had been a large babe but no one expected him to continue to grow like he did at 9 he was 5 foot 4 whilst Edmure was about 4 foot 6 continued to spar since Jasper had the height advantage Edmure would have to be fast but Edmure was.. well Edmure wasn't the smartest he tried to beat Jasper by being stronger but in comparison Jasper was a bear and Edmure was a fawn he hoped Edmure would learn he cant just win a fight by just being the strongest sometimes the fastest or even the smartest one wins he had lost count of the amount of times Ser Desmond Grell had told Edmure to try to dodge or even block but edmure was as stubborn as his uncle Brynden, Hoster quickly got that thought out of his mind he and his brother hadn't had the most stable relationship it all started when he had tried to marry Brynden to Lady Bethany Redwyne, he was disrupted from his thoughts as his daughter Catlelyn came to him and said "is it true i am to marry Brandon Stark" he smiled and replied " yes dear the marriage will take place when you have turned 8 and 10" she had a sad look on her face "yes father" she sighed when he turned to go to his solar he heard shouting coming from the courtyard when he turned he seen Jasper surrounded by Tristan Ryger Marq Piper Patrek Mallister and his brother Edmure they were pushing him calling him names he was bigger than all of them but four on one was enough to get him down and hit him Hoster was about to raise his voice and tell Edmure and his friends to stop but before he could he heard a roaring voice above the shouting "what is the meaning of this Edmure" Hoster looked up and seen his brother Brynden "blackfish" he pulled Edmure of Jasper and screamed " why are you hitting your brother" Edmure stuttered " i...i...i..he...he cheated" Brynden studied his face then looked at Jasper and spoke in a more calm voice "Jasper is this true" Jasper was wiping the dirt from his face where Marq Pipers boot left a mark "no" Jasper replied in a calm voice "LIAR" screamed Edmure, Hoster had seen enough " Jasper Edmure go to your bed chambers now" Edmure replied " but I" "NOW" Hoster had cut him off all the shouting had caused the girls and his ward Petyr to come over " what happened" Lysa exclaimed seeing Jaspers bloody face "nothing now go back to your lessons" they went not wanting to be sent to their bedchamber Hoster sighed realising what he was going to have to do the boys fued had been going on for a while now and he was getting sick of it he was thinking about fostering edmure but he was Hosters heir he could send jasper somewhere but where he wondered the Freys? no weasel cunts the lot of them Pipers? no jasper wound be to lonely there lord piper only had one child old enough for Japser to interact with and Marq hated him plus Marq was a squire here Hoster wondered why not let Jasper chose.

Jasper

He hated Edmure Marq Patrek And Tristan they are all just jealous that they were small all but edmure where better with a sword but jasper was bigger so he used that advantage his face still ached but it didn't hurt as much as he missed his mother she died 3 years ago in child birth the babe didn't survive a week, since then jasper has shut himself from the world only leaving his bedchamber when eating training and for his lessons he hated tourneys and feasts a bunch of drunks and idiots he thought sure he has cynical for his age but he didn't care he was interrupted from his thoughts when a servant knocked at his said and said "your lord father request you to eat with him and your family milord" Jasper sighed and through on his clothes and walked to the main hall where his father and siblings no Pipers Mallisters or Rygers Japer was surprised they were normally always here which caused jasper to eat his food in his room " ah jasper you finally arrived" spoke edmure in a mocking tone "sorry father im late" he whispered he sat and dug into his food slowly realising he wasnt hungry his father spoke up "jasper you are to be fostered you have the choice were you want to go" it took him a moment to register what he had just been told he was finally getting to leave this hell hole he gets to leave edmure and his lackeys he has so happy but where did he want to go? he thought of all his fathers banner-men that he liked there was the Darrys but no children his age the only child his age was Brynden Blackwood whom he had met during his visit to Raventree hall " with the Blackwoods father" he spoke as quiet as a mouse "then its settled you leave in the morrow i will send lord Tytos a raven informing him" Jasper looked around the table seeing the sad looks on Lysa and Catelyns face and the smile Edmure was failing to hold back "may i be excused father" "yes Jasper you may" he said as Jasper went to pack his things
