“Didn’t I tell you what would happen if you deserted?” the man screamed between the cracking of the whip.
“Fuck you, and you better put your back into it if you don’t want me to fall asleep,” Baldric said laughing.
This enraged the man who recommenced the whippings with a renewed vigor.
Baldric grimaced as the whip cracked against his naked back with the heat of the sun beating down.
“Enough,” a voice called out, the whipping paused.
“But Ser, this man is a deserter,” the assailant said.
“I know, I know but he has caught someone’s interest,” the voice said.
“He doesn’t want you to hurt yourself you fucking pansy,” Baldric chided.
The whip cracked again.
“I said fucking enough, do it again and I’ll be giving you seventy-five lashes,” the voice still hidden from Baldric shouted.
“As you like, but when you are through with him bring him by and I’ll finish whipping him properly.”
“Sounds like a date, mwaaah, see ya soon precious,” Baldric cooed and then laughed uproariously.
“What’s your name,” the voice said not revealing himself to Baldric who was still tied to the blood orange tree which was serving as the whipping post.
“Baldric, and who might you be?” he said not expecting an answer.
“In time my friend, in time. Why did you desert?” he asked.
“Cause its fucking hot out here and I have better things to do then to rebuild some Dornish mud hut.”
“You’ve been whipped before?” the man said stating the obvious.
“Well no, shit” Baldric said freeing his hand and turning around, “I’ve been beaten since I was old enough to talk and it has kind of lost its effect.” Baldric turned to see two men, one who was obviously a knight and another smaller man in traditional Dornish clothing.
“What do you think?” the knight said to the smaller man.
“He’ll do all right,” the smaller man replied
“Do for what?” Baldric said not sure what he was being volunteered for.
“It’s a special mission, one where a rougher touch is needed,” the knight said
“Well what if I don’t want to do it? I’ll just run away again,” Baldric said.
“You could run, but we will find you, we can find anyone,” the small man stated matter of factly.
“Then what, when you find me?” Baldric asked.
Baldric realized it was a stupid question immediately but it was made clear when the smaller man threw a number of knives just grazing his position.
“Well all right no reason to get all bent out of shape,” Baldric said, “besides I could do for a change of scenery.”
“That’s better, now follow him,” the knight said pointing towards the smaller man,
“He’ll tell you what needs to be done.”
Baldric nodded and followed the Dornish rider who began to speak about the plan.
