"Don't I know it. But there was no avoid it, and anyway Scav was with me, there wasn't anything to worry about. And it was definitely the Crow. had all his hallmarks, and they took the head of his axeman Torrhen Keath. so there's not disputing it. Anyway, home again, and happy about it." He squeezed his lover gentlely, and playfully squirmed his way to possess more of the chair.

"She's very pretty, although not as pretty as you." Flea said, batting his eye lashes and smiling. "The small folk seem fairly keen on her, and Rickon seems very keen indeed. Although with the marriage to the West seemed to cause a falling out with the Vale. The two Royces quit the council over some decision, I'm unclear what exactly it was yet, but I'll find out. Still, for a queen this Jeyne will be alright, She's cute and quiet, which is what the realm tends to like in its Queens."

"Don't know yet. They're looking at Dondarrion, Tyrell, Reed and Irwyn. I gotta find out why the two Royces walked to help Lord Irwyn. I'll know sooner or later." Flea shrugged, and nuzzled against Dacey. "Oh and the High Septon refused to marry King Rickon, so his days are numbered. It was really crazy, be glad you stayed away."

"I've heard rumors." Flea nodded, "Not me, of course, not that we wouldn't. but you know the Beetle won't tolerate such disorder either. So we're going to look into the aftermath instead."

"And thank gods for that. I prefer the one's who keep quiet, stick to their book, and take their bribes without complaint. I worry about the one's you can't bribe." Flea said, as he waggled his finger in front of Vara's face, and the child cooed quietly, its eyes getting heavy and sleep coming.

"Well yeah, but you get a better response with a pouch of stags in your hand, instead of a dagger, but if push comes to shove I suppose. Lord Varner always said, "Show them how big the carrot is, but let them assume how big your stick is."

Flea laughed, "He used to tell me all kinds of things, which didn't really make sense, until now. Maybe it was his idea of an apprenticeship, I guess."

"I don't know. Do you feel up to returning? Can Vara be without you? Obviously the other one," Flea gestured towards boy, "Will need to go with you. But ultimately its up to you when we go back."

"I want to spend the night in my own bed, and tomorrow I need to go to Oldtown, but after that we can leave. If you'd like to come to Oldtown with me, we can leave from there when I'm done."

Flea held the baby up so that Dacey could take her. "Its a few days ride to Oldtown, so make sure to pack comfortable clothing for the ride sweetling." He said, as he stretched out his legs for a moment, happy to be seated.

Flea smiled. "Okay, let us away then." he said, leading the two girls towards a wagon with a team already hitched to it. Two burly men in brigandine armor looked down at the girls with gap toothed smiles.

As the driver cracked his whip, the horses began to plod along towards Oldtown.
"You should open a brothel in Oldtown, its almost as big as King's Landing, and you'd be closer to home," Flea said offhandedly.

Flea smiled. "I've some ideas about locations, and know some people who might be selling their places if you were to ask them."
