The Dun Fort

"Leads," Aranya replied evasively, nodding to Darien as he left. "And I am taking myself off across the sea to deal with one of them."

[Fel]

Felryn eyed her with more than passing interest. "What sort of lead?"

[Deleted]

"You must understand that I can't speak of it. However, it's taking me to Braavos. Indirectly, as it were, but I am going to Braavos."

[Fel]

Felryn snorts, "you must understand you're full of crap."

He turns to the two men with him and jerks his head to dismiss them. After they leave he moves in closer to Aranya.

"I demand to know what you know, I have a right to it," he said as his head tilted at an angle to look at her. His voice was oddly calm and distracted, as if he was too busy picturing her naked to sound angry.

[Deleted]

"You have a right?" Aranya repeated, raising an eyebrow. Her heart beat faster as he stepped closer to her, and she was very aware of his size and the look on his face. Aranya felt her cheeks growing warm, which infuriated her. She was not some callow girl.

"You don't have a right to anything unless I say so."

[Fel]

Felryn snapped out of his trance and grew angry again. "My niece was killed Royce," he stabbed a finger at his chest, "I was nearly killed because of your incompetence, I have every right to know what is going on."

[Deleted]

"There are some things that I cannot speak of," Aranya said with infuriating calm. "But I can tell you that I am going to speak to the Sealord."

[Fel]

"The Sealord?" he asked with annoyed surprise. He looked around the room for a moment, contemplating what she was saying.

"Then I will go with you," he said finally, his voice a low determined rumble, "it is about time I got a measure of this man."

[Deleted]

Aranya looked at him a long moment. "I don't think you could join in on my discussions," Aranya said slowly. "But if you have business in Braavos, I'm not stopping you from going."

[Fel]

Felryn grew angry with her, "others take you, you damned stubborn woman. I will take you to Braavos on the condition that once you have concluded your business with the Sealord you tell me everything you know."

[Deleted]

"You are offering to take me to Braavos?" Aranya said. "What makes you think I can't just go on my own?" She was growing angry too. Arrogant bastard. Who did he think he was?

[Fel]

Felryn answered with as much disdain as he could muster. "Stop being foolish, I am offering to take you to Braavos on the best ship in Westeros, with the best crew in all the lands, if you'd rather take your own little row-boat you are welcome to."

[Deleted]

Aranya laughed. "Did you see the twelve longships out in the harbor that aren't yours? I might offer to take you," she said slyly. "If you would just come quietly. I know I owe you and Lord Coldiron."

[Fel]

It was Felryn's turn to laugh, a deep, cynical laugh. "Aye, and I saw the men crewing them aswell. I'd trust myself to one of your unruly horses before I trusted them to one of those ships."

[Deleted]

Aranya looked affronted. "Are you suggesting my sailors don't know their job?"
