The man nodded. "it is. Is that a challenge than? You wanna pay the Iron Price for my sister eh? So that sound Turin heard wasn't Moax and Seax, but you and my sister." He laughed. "Interesting."

Darien knew that now he couldn't turn back, even if the man had said yes. "A challenge it is. And yes, well... she sort of surprised me last night..." He looked around for a moment, clearing his head of images of the night before. "So, how old exactly is Asha?"

"Finish your fish." the Sparr said, as he stood, and went over towards his bedroll. First he donned a shirt of studded brigantine armor, followed by an open faced helm. Next he picked up his spear, still dangling fish cuts from its wicked barbed head. He walked past Darien, all smiles, as he took a rounded pine shield off the side of the longship, and went to stand on the ground. Seeing the impending combat, the crew members circled around him, to see the fight.

Darien nodded and quickly gulped down the remainder of his meal, then picked up and donned his scale mail. He had been stupid enough to leave his helm and leather armor with Yozs, so all he had was light protection. Facing the lord Sparr he unsheathed his sword and gave the man a small smile. "Let us begin."

Sparr raised the shield in between them. "Whenever your ready."

Darien, bleeding heavily from several wounds, slumped to the ground, his vision going blurry. "I... someone... help..." was all he managed to say before he wretched onto the deck.

A man approached Darien. "Iron Price, his possessions are yours if you want them, though if you take the ship, I'll challenge you for it right now." The man grinned widely.
"You son of a bitch." Cried Asha as she came in, reaching for her axe. The man turned, and caught her wrist, "Sis, don't be stupid. T'was as fair a fight as your like to find. Let the man claim his prizes."
"Why'd you do that, you fucking coward!" Asha yelled at Darien, "Afraid to fight me again so you had to pick on me brother? Cocksucker."

Darien looked up at Asha and somehow managed a smile. "Did it for... you." He knew it sounded absolutely stupid, but he said it anyway. "For last... night and... to hire... but also for you. Iron price." He winced as pain stabbed through his whole body and nearly through up again.

"My brother doesn't own me like some fucking thrall you dumb shit." She said, kicking him in the leg. "I'm my own woma.. Drowned God's Watery halls, you're run through." She bent down to examine him, and slapped his hand when it got in the way.

He couldn't even feel the kick, so badly did his wound hurt. Darien coughed and hoped the woman wouldn't touch the hole in his side. "Not even a little... respect for him? After all he... died for... you." He coughed again and was pretty certain that he could not be in any more pain.

"He died cause your a stupid ass." She said, "But he's a stupider one. I ain't some piece of meat to be fought over, and you can both die for all I care."
Despite her saying that, she was poking and prodding around the wound with practiced hands, and soon had produced bandages from a shoulder pouch.
"At least he didn't stab any lower, than you'd be totally useless, instead of just mostly useless."

Darien had to laugh at the stupidity of this situation. Here he had put his life on the line for a woman he hardly knew... a woman who had forced him to do something that he might have willingly done at some point, and yet she was scorning him. "Don't tell me that it's... pretty words and songs you like hearing... maybe this wild thing isn't so wild after all..."

Rolf came running up, having been awakened by the commotion, and looked aghast at the sight of Darien bleeding profusely from horrible wounds. He then caught sight of Lord Sparr's dead body, and his eyes widened.
"What were you thinking?" he hissed, as he helped Asha carry Darien to a bed. There was mingled horror and admiration in his face, but he shook his head wearily. Looks like neither brother nor sister can resist a fight.

Asha slapped him across the face, before helping Rolf carry him to a bed. The other Iron born just walked around curiously, trying to figure out what the hell was going on.
"You are a stupid man Darien Stone. A stupid man." But she fetched a hot bowl of water, and some more bandages anyway.

Darien felt good being in a bed, however the bloodloss was causing hit to become very dizzy. He felt like throwing up again but there was nothing left in his stomach. "Stupid?" he replied to Asha. "Stupid for fighting for... for..." He couldn't even remember what exactly he had fought for. "Heh... maybe that was a little stupid..."
