After returning home Alyssa went to her Solar and commanded not to be disturbed so she could go over all the stuff she'd missed at that farce of a Tournement.
She also engaged in one of her favourite passtimes, designing siege equipment.
She took out her notes on the likely fortification levels of the keeps on the stepstones and got to work designing some siege equipment bespoke to the likely situation.

Her notes are rather poor at the moment, but questioning merchants or other ship captains who had recently sailed through the Stepstones for that specific information could provide dividends.

Alyssa cursed and chucked her quill on the table, frustrated, then made a list if the things she needed to do.

"I am thank you, I hope you are also." She said with a wide smile, standing up to welcome the Maester, she knew them all well, "Drink?"
"I am really quite keen on stopping this plague infecting oldtown and the citadel. We get a lot of traffic through the city from the north of the kingdom, I do not want anyone from Highgarden infected us. Is there anything we can do?"

"Quarantine," he said. "Pay the urchins a few coppers a day to sweep the streets, cleanliness is the bane to disease, my lady. It will also employ those who may steal or trespass instead."

"Good advice" she agreed, "should entrance be refused people, or shiukdvthey be screened? Have you Ay novices who wish for experience?"

"I would set up a screening camp outside the city, maybe at the tip of the coast for trade by sea and north a day's ride by land. "That gives you time to ensure any who enter are healthy. My compatriots to the north assure me the outbreak was minor and steps are being taken to reduce the infection rate even now."

"I will take that advice," she smiled at him, "how are things in the citadel?"

He looked at her for a moment and then answered. "As they always are, too many old men like myself arguing over matters that could have been settled decades ago. But such is how it is, and always will be," he added. "Too many minds can be worse than too few, if they don't align."

"That is true," she nodded smiling at the man, "which is why I only ever speak to you one at a time," she joked, "is there anything oldtown can do to make the lives of the Maesters easier?"

"More gold and fewer dumb adepts," he joked. "I confess I don't entirely know what you mean, my lady," he said.
