A Feast for Crows[]
Alleras heads to the Quill and Tankard inn with Mollander, Roone and Armen to celebrate the forging of his copper link. When they arrive they encounter Pate, who joins them. Alleras buys them all a round of fearsomely strong cider.
Outside the inn he has Mollander throw apples into the air so he can demonstrate his skill with a bow and arrow. He refuses to buy Leo Tyrell any drinks, but does so in a courteous manner, whilst Mollander and Pate both get annoyed at him.
