When the servant arrived, Gendry was taken away to another part of the keep. A basin was filled with hot water and he was given a brush to scrub himself with. He did his best to be quick about it, not wanting to impose any longer than he had. Besides that, he felt strange having servants tend to him. Who was he to get such treatment like that?
He felt as though they must have resented a lowborn being treated a someone of importance. They set out new clothes for him to wear. They were far from lordly, but they were clean. Plain dusty grey leggings and a blue tunic that might have once been a bright blue, but had faded with time. The boots were his own, but someone had cleaned the outside of them to make them presentable. Fortunately they'd been good boots already. He had procured them while with the Brotherhood, from a Frey who no longer had any use for them.
He felt a man again and though he was famished, he did not want to leave her waiting any longer. So after convincing a servant to take him to her, he set about his way through the Keep. Perhaps in time, he'd remember his way around. It wasn't nearly so big as Storm's End.
