In Lannisport harbour sits three vessels: The Majestic, the Seven-pointed-star, and the Ice Dragon. At the dock before them, Edmure Seaworth, and his cabin boy, a Summer-Islander take the names of those who will be joining his voyage west.

It was an amazingly hot day in Lannisport. Summer had come back with a vengence, and the only thing keeping Edmure from dying of heat was the cool breeze of the Sunset Sea. Salt spray splashed against the jagged stones of nearby Casterly Rock, home of the Lannisters. The cabin boy seemed to thrive in such weather, enjoying the heat as he wrote down the names of those men brave enough to venture west with the three ships. Men and soldiers were loading supplies behind them, each ship was to have twenty five marines from the First Westerosi Army on board.

A scrawny youth, probably sixteen or seventeen, made his way to the men in charge of taking down names. He was carrying a stick over his shoulder, the other end of it was holding a fish on a line.
"What's going on here? Where are these ships going?" He asked Seaworth.

"Across the Sunset Sea, on a voyage to Qarth." Edmure answered. "And your name is?"

First Mate of the Ice Dragon walks over to Ser Edmure ignoring the boy he delivers his report, "Ser the Ice Dragon is ready to sail when you give the order." With that Regnak turned and left his sword and shield were heavy in his back and hip but he would fight hes a man.

A middle-aged, balding septon with an eyepatch makes his way to those taking names. He tells Edmure, "If you want a man to bring the Light of the Seven to the heathens in the West, I'll sail with you. Worked as a fisherman 'til the Gods came to me, so I won't be useless on the ship. Name is Septon Leyton, of Lannisport. "

Edmure nodded to the boy, who wrote down the Septon's name. "Sign here please." The boy said, as he pointed to a line.

Regnak returns, "Sorry Ser had to ask should we try to get as many more men to come with us as there are some Sailors wanting to come with."

"Yes Ser." Regnak nods then starts thinking, "So how long will this thing take how long until we come back to Westeros?"

'I can fish, I can net, I can bait, I can sail, I can cook. I can use a sling, but mostly I can just hit birds with it, never tried it on people, if that's what you mean, ser." The boy was looking at the ships with awe.

Edmure smiled to himself, he remembered his first voyage, he had been younger than this boy. "No need to worry about that, this is not a military expedition. Very well, sign Albert up." The young boy nodded and wrote the boys name down, and then gave the paper to Albert. "Sign here, with an X if you can't write."
