"He might be on guard, lord, or in the mess, or in the city if it's his day off."
Luck was not with Brandon and it transpired that the man had gone into the city on some errand.

Jaes is in his solar going over papers as the Knight escorts the girl into the room. "How may I help you Ser?" He says pleasantly looking over the two.

"Speak," Brandon insisted on the angelic girl, and after she had bawled her tale of the guard with arms the size of tree trunks forcing her to place the poisoned candle, Brandon placed the remains of the candle on the man's desk.
"My lord has been poisoned, under your roof. I assume I have you complete cooperation in find the perpetrator, and whomever put him up to it."
It was not really a question.

Jaes eyes the man across from him, "All of my slaves are yours to command if you feel fit to question or kill them. I will of course need compensation if your aim is to kill any of them without proving that they are without a doubt guilty, though I will tell you that there is no one that I own who falls under the description of having arms the size of tree trunks."

OOC: Marie???
Brandon looked at the man with a steady gaze.
"your slave," he pointed at her, "Just told you he was one of the House guard. And described him to you. Am I supposed to believe that either you, or she, is unaware of who is and who is not in the house guard?" he clicked his tongue. "That strains credulity, since you both live here."

"He's new to the guard," she said. "One of the officers. I never spoke to him before. He was new to the post, I asked one of the stewards about him after. He frightened me."

"Apparently you DO have a man with arms the size of tree trunks," Brandon said with finality.
"I'm assuming what you've heard is more than sufficient to permit me to put the man to the question." Brandon said.

"I can guarantee that I have never bought a man like that, my entire household guard is composed of unsullied, if you wish then we can have a line up of my guards for you to examine, if you find someone that fits the description then you are free to question them." He says ignoring the slave girl and keeping his attention fixed on Brandon.

Brandon clicked his tongue with displeasure.
"Take me to where this man stayed," Brandon told the slave girl.

Jaes snaps his fingers, and two unsullied step through a side door and into the office. "Take Ser Brandon to the barracks, and to your commander." He instructs them, as he turns towards the girl and Brandon. "The girl can stay here, last I checked she is still my property and not your errand girl."

The girl nodded and stood very still. Her eyes were red with crying.

"You JUST said that your slaves were mine to command," Brandon replied, with a scowl, "This girl is my only witness, and she's not leaving my sight, until I am done with her."

"You are free to question or kill any slave of mine, as long as you reimburse me for the trouble. We do not permit female slaves into the barracks of our guard, it breeds to much attachment, she will be confined to her quarters and be relieved of her duties for the duration of your investigation so that you will always be able to find her, but I will not permit you having her follow you around to places that we do not usually permit our slaves to go."

Brandon gave Jaes a stare. Given that the guards had their cock and balls cut off it was a patently absurd excuse. "And when I return, and find that her story has changed?" He said, "No. I don't think so. We can put her in his grace's apartments, surrounded by OUR servants."

"I am not in the business of altering my slaves minds, Ser Brandon. But if you wish for her to stay in your Prince's apartments then so be it." He says with a wave of hand.

Brandon escorted the woman to a pantry in the Prince's apartments and set two of the guard on her. Then he followed the Unsullied to the Barracks to speak with the Commander.

He is brought to a large and comfortable barracks to the side of the main house. Outside of the building before entering Brandon can see a guard who was striped naked and hanging from his hands on a pole. The Unsullied commander seemed to have been given notice of the Knight's investigation as the rest of the Unsullied that were present had lined up into formation in front of their beds. Brandon can see that several spots were missing for those who were currently on duty and the poor man who was outside serving his punishment. As Brandon can see none of the men have arms larger then a tree branch, the unsullied training for toned muscles that perform better for speed and strength then bulky muscles that slow down their performance. The commander greets the Knight with a bow, "How may we be of service Ser." He states evenly.

"I am not looking for an Unsullied," he explained, already irritated that Jaes had sullied this part of the investigation as well.
"I am looking for an officer. I have already been informed that he is currently in the city on an errand. Which of your officers is in the city at this point?" He asked the commander. He ignored the slaves.

The commander looks at the Westerosi puzzled, "There are no officers at the moment who are in the city." He states, "The only officers that we have are myself and my two lieutenants." He states. Turning towards the back of the room the commander lets out a long whistle and a young man comes running out from the back room followed by another slightly older man, they both walk up and stand at attention before the commander and the knight.

Brandon considered that neither man fit the description, so he gave it again.
"This is who I am looking for. He represented himself as a guard officer. I assume that means he was dressed as you are dressed now." he said, "So who among you has seen this man? Someone must have."

All three men shake their head. "I have seen no one that looks like that here." The commander states, "Their was a guard's uniform that went missing about a week ago, one could have easily altered that uniform to symbol that of an officer." the man adds.

Brandon clicked his tongue. It did not add up. "You mean to tell me that this man was in your household long enough to convince a maid that he was a guardsmen, and NO ONE SAW HIM? Do you take their eyes, as well as their cocks?" He snapped at the officer. He sighed exasperated, "What's the man being punished for anyway, I can not imagine its failing in his duty, since none of you seem to take that very seriously."

"He lost his uniform." The commander replied ignoring the man's tone and accusations. "Master Jaes is a busy man, if someone entered the compound under the guise of a guest and changed into a guards uniform inside, then they would have gone unnoticed by the guards. Only the Master and his family's rooms are guarded continuously. If you wish to question them then you are welcome to it." He states with a shrug.
