Varcen Pyke was leaning across the railing of The Vicious Knave, looking as the sun was setting, spreading it's last rays of warmth across his face. Soon it would be dark, and most of the crewmen was down below sleeping. He could hear some of them snoring loudly. This was life, the smell of sea and the hopes of riches when reaving. He turned fast, holding his axe in his hand, when he heard someone coming up behind him.
"Still jumpy about people coming up behind you" The boy standing before him smiling
"Yes, the worst nightmare would be me getting killed in the back" He smiled and lowered the axe "What are you doing here, Sabastian"

Sabastian looked at his friend, which he had spent the last four years of his life with on the ship they were standing on.
"I need to ask you a favor, Varcen" Sabastian looked dead serious when he said it.
"What is it, Sabastian? I will help if I can" Varcen answered with a similar look upon his face.
Sabastian told Varcen about his little brother and asked that Varcen look after him, teaching him most of what he knew, but treat him as anyone else. When Sabastian had left, Varcen turned and continued to watch the sun sink behind the horizon.

Balor walked down to the harbour. Standing at the end of it, as he always was this time of day, stood Tomas Clegane. He stood with one foot perched upon a post, looking eastwards towards Lannisport.
"I see you are healed again, Clegane. You look a far cry from the man near death who turned up on my doorstep. I can hazard a guess, but I would like to know what you are thinking about?"

"You would be right. I want blood, and I want to bath in it." Turning to face Balor Tomas continues, "Worse I know my desire will go unrequited, as my wife and son reside in Casterly Rock."
Clegane's hand drops to his sword, "At this point Greyjoy I just want to kill some one."

Balor smiled without warmth "You sound more like an ironborn each day" he tilted his head to the side. "As for your family, well I can do something about that. The Lannisters look to the South and East and prepare for war. A single ship sailing into Lannisport would arose no suspicion".
"Do you think your family heavily guarded?" he turned to face Clegane and paused looking at him intently "You would have to go as well, of course. My men have no idea what your wife and son look like"

"I am not sure. I have thought about it a great deal." Clegane eyes drift to the South East again. "These covert attacks were out of character for Allard. If he were in charge they might be loosely guarded, but who ever watches them now." He shrugs dimissively.
"I won't risk their lives by trying to save them. Is there no one else to kill?" Tomas eyes turn back to Balor.

Balor barked a short laugh "More than you know, Clegane. A surprise about your family. I would not rest if my lady wife were so imprisoned but you know them better than I" he shrugged.
He mulled over Clegane's words, studying the man through hooded eyelids. "Let me think more on it. With so many enemies to choose from, I must pick them wisely."

Gedrick had a grim look upon his face as the Silent Serpent was tied to the docks. He slowly made his way down the gangplank and headed for Pyke Keep.

The ironmen at the docks react in some surprise to the return of Harral, with lots of muttering. Whilst not unpopular with the ironborn, many are concerned at his previous ill-fortune and wonder if his return is a bad omen.

Ignoring the murmurs of the other ironborn. Harral strides up the Island towards the keep.

Sabastian stands on the soil of his home, taking in the sights, not moving from the ship.

The "Sea Witch" and "Iron Kraken" pull into Pyke Harbour.
Balor smiles in relief to be home once more and yawns and stretches out the kinks in his neck. It had been a long and tiring voyage round Dorne and up the Reach and he headed for the keep and for a well earned rest.

Amdle and Bella are outside their cottage as Balor returns, and wave as he goes up to the castle.

Balor gives a weary wave of his hand as he makes his way up towards the keep.
Halon smiles and comes up to his sister "Hello sis. This your new husband then? I'm sorry I missed the wedding but Balor had me up at Winterfell talking with this Wull fellow". He smiles cheekily and says "I never figured you'd settle down and with a trader of all things" he puts on a face of mock horror.
Turning to Amdle his face becomes serious and he gives the man an appraising look. After a short pause he holds out his hand and says "Welcome to the family, my new brother-in-law. Don't let Bella here walk all over you!" Halon winked.
