A group of people had been called to the crypts of Winterfell by Templeton: Davos Seaworth, Lord Manderly and Lady Greyjoy
Templeton had gathered them hoping they would be more sensible than their king.

Davos arrived but he looked both intrigued and unsure about Templeton's intentions, he hoped that he didn't have ill will.

Asha Greyjoy cautiously entered the crypts of Winterfell, answering Templeton's call for a meeting. She was unsure of what the Valeman wanted with her, considering how far down on the list of prominent lords she was.

Lord Wyman Manderly descended into the crypt, two met-knights helping to keep him properly positioned. It felt wrong to be in here, with southerners, with Ironborn. A shiver went down the rotund man’s spin, the haunted eyes of the Starks of old could fill even the most leal men with dread.

"We're all here, good, we can finally start."
Templeton had been waiting for a while in the cold halls of the crypts. He was not a particularly superstitious man but he was starting to feel uncomfortable.
"I sent for you because I consider you to be sensible and responsible, qualities your king is showing he lacks. I've come with terms from Baelish to bend the knee, good and fair terms, and he's rejected them outright."
"If the circumstances were different, I would have already left and I would be preparing to face your lot in battle. But there's a bigger threat in the South. Unless Stannis takes this deal, we will all be bending our knees to a Targaryen. And I'm sure this is not something we are looking forward to."
"So. I need you to talk to him. Convince him. It's not an easy task. But he will listen to you."

"My king is of a stubborn lot"
Said Davos, the silvery hand badge shining under the torches' light.
"What were the terms you presented to him, Lord Templeton?"

"Littlefinger will renounce his title of Lord Paramount of the Trident in favor of Edmure Tully, who'll be restored to Riverrun. Baelish loyalists in the Riverlands will be told to stand down; clearing the way for your King to march south unopposed. Petyr will retain Harrenhal. I asked Stannis for a royal writ confirming Littlefinger as Lord of the Vale, but I will settle for a promise that will not interfere as we Valelords deal with our affairs."

Wyman snorted, a bellowing thing from his stomach. ”Little Finger?” He questioned, incredulously. ”By what right, by what blood, does Baelish lay claim to the Vale of Arryn?” He emphasized the last word.

Said Seaworth. "And the Vale, if the lords and ladies of that realm support his rule, of course. But, if he adds the Vale to our ranks... We could cross unimpeded..."He scratches his bearded chin. "It's worth a try"

“Bolton attempted the same here in the North. Though perhaps loyalty has lost its meaning south of the Neck. Though the Vale proved as much when they refused to ride for Robb.” Manderly waved a fat hand. “And all the lords of the Vale are behind this?”

"The Vale has matters of its own to deal with. But Lord Baelish will come out on top, Lady Sansa will make sure of that."

"She's Lord Robin's cousin, is she not?"
Said Davos.
"We thought Lady Arya was married to Bolton, but she was just a ruse, a fake. How should we trust Littlefinger on this matter, on Lady Sansa being who she claims to be?"

"She is. I've told Stannis he's welcome to send someone to confirm her identity. You don't need to trust him, you can see for yourself, Onion Knight"

You don't need to trust him, you can see for yourself, Onion Knight" Said Davos, his hand raised to the chest as to touch his fingertips, but they were long gone, drown along his children in the Blackwater. "If that's what you have to say and need, I will talk to my liege. You might come, if you want"
