"I did not think so. It is not a fate should wish." Bolton replied. "Yet some men feel the call of duty and service stronger than others. I would not expect a pampered royal to understand."

Varryn smiled at the man and laughed. "You waste your words if you expect me to be insulted. Come, Aemon. We have learned plenty to tell the King." Varryn left the room at that.

"Go ahead cousin, if it is fine with Lord Commander Bolton here, then I would like to have a few words with him myself." Aemon says watching the Lord Commander without turning towards Varryn as he left the room.

When Varryn had left, Bolton turned his attention to the headsman with a chilling calm.
"Speak your words then."

"First, I would like to apologize for my cousin, he can be a bit daft at times." Aemon states freely looking around at the room at hand, wether to avoid looking at the man's gaze or just to examine his surroundings the Lord Commander cannot tell. "Yet, his request has a reasoning behind it that does not fit the Crowns purpose. One that I feel that the Night's Watch under your capable hands would be able to benefit from." He says turning back to the man.

"I'm listening." was his laconic reply, Bolton checking his fingernails for dirt.

Aemon raises his eyebrow slightly but continues on, "My cousin has it in his head that if you were to lead him North beyond the wall then he would be able to locate a unique dragon for himself to tame. Though fire runs through his veins, hardly the type of blood of that this dragon would find appropriate, I imagine." Aemon says trailing off, trying to play on the man's ambition should he have any.

"I am in the business of protecting this realm." Bolton claimed, though there was little truth in his eyes. "Not indulge a spoiled royal's hunt for his nursemaid's fairy tales. If he wants to find snarks and grumpkins, he will not do so with the consent of the Nights Watch."

"If on the off chance that my cousin is correct in his assumptions, then would it not be worthwhile for the Nights Watch to try and tame such a creature so that it couldn't be used against them if a wildling were to try and tame it instead?" Aemon replies. "Of course, I would not expect this task to go unnoticed in the capital, it might even bring about some reward or gift from the Crown to the Nights Watch for their aid."

"You expect me to expend resources hunting a mythical beast?" Bolton inquired, deadpan. "Are you all this mad in the capital?"

"What resources that are expended can be returned to you, what ever men lost can be sent to you. The dungeons at the Red Keep are filled with prisoners who already know how to fight, thanks to this war." Aemon replies pointedly ignoring the question insinuating that him and his family are mad. "For all I care you could send green recruits and other useless brothers who don't pull their weight around here as an escort."

"I think it is time you left, headsman." the Lord Commander replied, eyes narrowed.

"Perhaps you are right." Aemon says lightly, "Think on what I have said. Should this be a fruitful quest, then I feel sorry for your loss" Aemon says with a polite smile as he stands.

"Think on mine." Bolton said coldly. "Anyone that crosses that Wall without my leave will be considered a Wilding by my men."

"I am not the one that you should be telling that to Lord Commander Bolton, but try to remember that most of these men were given to you by the crown." Aemon replies still wearing his smile. "There are more where they came from as well." He said with a chuckle as he departed from the room.
