... take care of this boy."

"Take care of this boy, if you would," Renly orders the sole female member of his Rainbow Guard.

The tall blonde woman lightly nods and remarks "As you command, Your Grace."

She slowly approaches you and makes a gesture with her head, saying "Come this way, please."

After bidding farewell to Lady Catelyn and her retainers, you follow Lady Brienne. You are still mounted, whereas she is on the ground. Yet your height is only slightly greater than hers. She must be even taller than you thought.

A few minutes later, Brienne brings you to an elaborate pavilion. You immediately note its size. Its interior must be at least ten times larger than that of the tent you carry in your supply pack.

"Is this where you sleep, my lady?" you assume.

"No, this is one of the tents reserved for the king's honorable guests," she informs you, somewhat stoically. She then smiles a bit and says "But if you wish it, I could stay the night."

You realize what she is implying. "Are you saying this tent... is intended for me?"

"Yes, my lord," she tells you, nodding her head.

"Please, don't call me that," you beseech her, your humility suddenly taking over, "I am no lord. I am just a simple commoner. Such elegant accommodations like these are hardly befitting for one such as I."

"The king has decreed otherwise," Brienne mutters, "If you wish it, I could relay your dissatisfaction to His Grace."

"No, no, please do not," you hastily tell her, "I will accept these lodgings, even if they are above one of my standing."

"Do not think so low of yourself," Brienne advises you, not unkindly, "I know what it is like to doubt one's sense of worth, but you must not let it hinder your true capabilities."

"If you say so, milady," you mutter. After climbing off Aerion and securing him to a rail outside, you enter the pavillion. Brienne enters right after you. The interiors impress you. There is a bed, a table, some chairs, and even a tub.

"Would you care for a bath?" Brienne offers.

"Oh, yes," you reply straightaway, assuming you would be bathing yourself, "I haven't taken one in over a week."

"Alright, I will have the maids fetch hot water," Brienne tells you, "But first... would you like some help getting undressed?"

How do you reply?
