Flea's eyes opened wider, if that was possible. He held very still, she could see behind his eyes wheels turning. "How long ago?" He asked, than quieter, "his or mine?"

Flea thought for a moment, counting the days, before nodding in understanding. "I see. Well.. What do you think we should do? By preference I would not have a bastard like me, but you'd already laughed off that idea yesterday." He said, with a touch more edge than he had intended, he lay his head back on the hay, and sighed heavily.

Flea nodded. "What of Lord Coldiron? he'll think it his surely, or curse you for betraying him, as like. Perhaps you should stay with me at Shallowgrave till the babe is born. That might be safest." Flea said, he held her body against his tightly.

Flea looked at her. "He's not been with you for at least a month. He spends his time drinking and attending Small council meetings. I know, we follow. Lettie will say you are away looking at new girls. and when you return, you'll be thin and not pregnant and our child will be safe in my house. I will not let you take my child to the frigid fucking north to be raised by a bunch of fucking pirates." Flea raised his voice, and Scav looked over to see what was the matter, "We're fine, drive the damn cart." Flea snapped.
"As you wish Flea." Scav said, sucking on his pipe. "At least when I get fucked I'm in a good mood," he tells Alys confidentially.

Flea pulled away from her, and sat with his back against the wooden side wall.
"And when he finds out its not his, and he dashes our baby's head against the rocks, and drowns you for cuckolding him?" Flea said, his words as sharp as his dagger.

"So he takes our child and raises him as a savage? Reaving and stealing, and raping, and drowning? Is that what you want for your child? If you were fucking a Valeman or a Westerman, than maybe. But the Iron born?"

"You want to be Dacey Coldiron so bad, go ahead." Flea said, crossing his arms. "But you aren't buying your entrance with my baby."

"Well I can't very well keep my half, while you give your half away." Flea sniffed. "And I don't want to take the baby away from you. I want us to raise it together, you and me."

"I'm a welcome guest at any keep in the Far Reach." Flea said, his frown a curved defensive palisade on his face. "Lord Varner had a family, and so does the Lord Beetle, and children too. It's not an easy life, maybe, but its better than being a Reaver. Leave Coldiron, and be with me. What good information has fucking Coldiron brought us anyway? Nothing. He doesn't talk politics in bed anyhow."

"So, give him another child. We can find one. We keep ours, he gets a baby and thinks it yours, and everyone is happy."

"Well, its not really a switch, since none of the babies are his anyway." Flea said resolutely. He slowly began to move his arms from across his chest, relaxing his defenses.

Flea nodded his head. "Alright, that's what we'll do then. I'm sorry we quarreled." He said softly.

Flea let himself be pulled. "I know. But you are too devastatingly beautiful to be angry for long." he said. "its frustrating to not be able to stay mad at you." He squeezed her and laughed.
Scav groaned audibly.

Flea laughed. "A whisperer is not so different from a poet. To inform, persuade, perhaps seduce, the goals are the same." He kissed her back.

Flea nuzzled up against her, and kissed her neck, "hmm, on what topic should my recitation be?"
