Hamstrings are not to be rushed . They always feel fine even though they aren ' t fully healed . Those times are the worst as it is really easy to reinsure . Best to invest the time into overhealing it . <| sep |> Compare that ratio to other western nations though and it ' s probably considerably better . <| sep |> There were few houses in Westeros so bold as to claim black and white as their colours , and so the livery of the lord and lady as they entered marked them immediately for what they were . Arlan knew little and less about the Swanns of Stonehelm he had never met them , nor spoken to them , nor heard them spoken of and so it was increasingly clear that he would need to seek them out . Sometime that evening he made his way over , the cup of water now replaced with a halfdrunk mug of mead . It was golden stuff , made by his own vassals , the Beesburys , and it reminded Arlan greatly of home with every warm and honeysweet sip . He set the cup upon the table before him , then slid into place , looking across to the pair he had come to see the Swanns , finally , in the flesh . Seven blessings , lord and lady . He offered , a singular brow ticking upward by degrees . I fear I have not yet had the pleasure of your acquaintance , though by the colouration of your livery and the admiration of your peers , I must take you for Swanns . I am Arlan Hightower Lord of Oldtown , Master of Coin . What brings you to Beron ' s gathering ?
