Bloodkin Codd mumbles something about how he despises Harlaw, too, afterall, but swears his loyalty before sending back his men to The Despised.

Erik sees which way the winds have blown. At first he looks annoyed, but seems to resign himself to the fact that the man he backed had lost. He turns to Mortimer and gives him a shrug, then joins the crowd gathering around Harlaw. He gives his new lord a firm handshake, telling him, "Well won, Harlaw. My ship and my axe are yours to command."

Before setting off, Bloodkin Codd approaches Mortimer Pyke. "Boy, I want words with you."

Mortimer shook his head. But smiled when it was over. He looked at Seth, sadly.
He nodded to Harlaw. "It seems I have been defeated. But let it be known I stood my ground till the end result."
He looked to Codd then. "What is it?"

"Simple. I said you'd piss off to the Greenland. I wanna see if I be wrong. My son is a cockless monkey who does not deserve the ship I gave him. It is a good ship, and strong, with a fierce crew, men I picked for him. If you truly want to lead the Ironborn, start by being a captain. Take my son's ship and be a reaver."
"Then when Harlaw the goat dies, maybe you'll have been man enough and captain enough to become King of Salt and Rock. Or you'll have failed and we'll all know you have no iron in you."
"The ship is called Bloodsalt, and is in the harbor now."

Mortimer smiled. "Perfect." He stopped though, suspicious. "Seems like you're placing a lot of trust in a person that could end up failing you. You have no reason to believe I am an honest Iron Born, obviously."

"I ain't givin' you The Despised, boy. And my cockless son is already failing me. So take Bloodsalt and I'll judge you on what ye do with it."

Bloodkin Codd laughs loudly. "ALL MEN DESPISE ME! I'll do what I fucking want."

"Well then, Bloodkin. I will accept your ship. I will prove to the Iorn Born that I am the saltiest and most hardy. Along with my bawdy sea shanties."
He clapped the man on the shoulder. "You've got a bad rap, Bloodkin. But you seem alright to me."

Lord Harlaw walks through the ironborn until he comes to Mortimer and Harral. Turning first to Harral he says "I thank you for throwing your weight behind my cause, especially when you wished to win. In recognition I name you my Lord Commander of the Ironborn Fleet. We will speak again in Pyke about where we go from here. I meant what I said. Every man of you leave here with a blank slate to me. I hold none of you as my enemies" his eyes travel to Mortimer in the last sentence and he speaks to him. "I don't know you, boy. You claim to be Balor's get but Balor never spoke of you in life and it's too late to ask him now" he smiles. "Still, get or not, the captains did not follow your grand dreams. I think you were wrong to do so but you were brave to try for the Chair. I would speak with you too if you still harbour ambitions to make your way amongst us? It is a rare man after all that any Codd likes!" he barked a laugh.

Mortimer eyed Harlaw. "What do you offer?" His lips had a smile playing upon them.

"I didn't say I fucking liked him," Codd says. "I want to fucking test him."

Harral stays silent and just nods with a slight smile on his face.
