Aranya sat down with him and his men boldly and took up a horn of ale. "The death of their own men?" she asked. "That would be a pity. The death of many Dornishmen is nothing to boast about either - they're easily slaughtered, it seems." Though Aranya spoke flippantly, with a gleam of amusement in her eye, there seemed to be some deeper, different emotion there.

Felryn laughed, "Greyjoy men are just as easy to kill, it would seem, so it would surely have been quite the slaughter."
"They say you are quite a warrior, Royce, an unusual thing for a greenlander woman," he said, watching her closely, "will you be competing in the melee?"

"If you think it's unusual, then you know shit about the greenlands. I was raised in the Mountains of the Moon, among clanswomen who could cut your cock off while suckling their babes. Yes, I will be in the melee. Will you?"

Felryn barked a laugh, "would they? So how many cocks have you cut off, Royce?"
"Aye, I will play the game with blunted weapon, of course we Ironborn would prefer it were held with live steel, but we understand the cowardly greenlanders would not allow for that."

"I've cut off plenty of cocks, but my real trophies are ears," Aranya said. "Perhaps I'll show you my collection after the games. They are all nicely blackened now and I know how to preserve them. I have several necklaces of them. The Black Ears," she explained, "Are a clan of the mountains, and the people I knew best."
"Which weapon do you use? I use the sword and the spear, mainly, though I have some knowledge of how to hack with an axe."

"The cocks I can understand, a woman will get lonely after all," he said grinning, "but why the ears?"
"The sword is my weapon," he said, pulling out the Valyrian steel Nightfall and passing it for her to handle the dark steel sword.

"Ears have less flesh and stiffen nicely," Aranya said. "And as for the separated cocks, they are burned. They don't stiffen after you remove them, sadly, or I could have pleasured my captives with them."
She handled the sword with a cool eye. "It's pretty. Can you use it?"

"Aye, I can, as many a dead person would attest, better than any woman anyway," he said with a mocking smile.

Aranya smirked back at him. "It's a mistake to judge all women by the standards of ironborn women."

"The lance is the deadliest weapon in mounted combat," Ser Ethan said. "But I have heard those curved Dothraki swords do some fair damage too. Can you wield one? What are those called, those funny curved foreign swords?" "They are called arakhs and in the right hands they are a sight to see. Imagine two men swirling them about their heads, lashing out at each other like vipers. I myself prefer a greatsword, it give me a bigger reach than the arakh." |

"I prefer longswords - not so difficult to wield, but long enough in reach. Greatswords are heavy motherfuckers. Still, you look like a big boy."

Harwin laughed, "True enough I suppose, what do you say we take this to the yard and see who's weapon comes out on top?"

Aranya smirked back at him. "It's a mistake to judge all women by the standards of ironborn women." Felryn shakes his head, "Ironborn women are fierce and strong, they take to the sea and fight like our men, instead of staying home to learn to sew and raise whelps. Perhaps one day you'd like to come to the Islands and see how such real women act." |

"I've come and seen, but no doubt I did not observe closely," Aranya laughed. "No matter. I will visit, if only as an excuse to come and hire sailors." She drained her horn of ale in one go. "These your kin?" she gestured to the Dagon and the others.

Hope you all are well and happy.
