Kerthunk . . . Kerthunk . . . Kerthunk, the sounds of quarrels leaving their crossbows thunders across the narrow sea. “Great Shot Stutters” Baldric yelled to his speech impeded friend.
“Th Th Th thanks B B B Baldric,” he said happy to receive some recognition.
“What are you doing,” one of the ship’s crew members said coming up from below decks.
Kerthunk, Baldric released a quarrel near the man’s right hand.
“Nothing now get the fuck below. . .” Baldric said readying his next shot.
“Your fucking crazy man,” the sailor shouted running back below.
Kerthunk, the quarrel landed in the door that the man had just closed.
“And stay down there you wanker. . .” Baldric said laughing hysterically.
The rest of the group laughed. The trip to Pentos had been boring although the weather was nice so Baldric’s crew had a lot of opportunity to practice their aim.
“B B B B Baldric, h h h h how l l l l ong are we g g g going to be in Pentos?” Stutters asked.
“I don’t know as long as the Lion cub needs. . . I guess. . . they never bothered to say what they were doing or why they needed us to protect them.” Baldric said reloading his crossbow.
“Oh” Stutters said, “D D D Do y y y you th th th think there w w w will be trouble?”
“Don’t rightly know,” Baldric said as his quarrel flew through the air landing with a loud kerthunk.
“I I I I I d d d don’t w w w want t t t trouble,” Lyman said as he released his quarrel and splitting Baldric’s in two.
“The Seven help up, Stutters learned to shoot,” Baldric said bringing his hands together for a sarcastic slow clap.
“I I I I I b b b been p p p p p p practicing,” Stutters said proudly.
“Fantastic now if we could get you to fucking talk right we might actually be able to take you out in public,” Baldric and the rest of the crew laughed although Stutters only replied with an obscene gesture.
“F F F F F F Fuck Off B B B B B B B Baldric,” Lyman said angrily.
“F F F F F F Fuck Off B B B B B B B Baldric,” Baldric repeated imitating his friend.
Lyman got up and headed down below bumping into Baldric as he left.
“Aww come on Stutters, ya know I was just playing right?” Baldric cried after his friend.
“I h h h h h h hope y y y y you sh sh sh shoot your eye out,” Stutters cried back.
Baldric laughed as another round of quarrels hit the wood wall of the ship. “All right get this shit cleaned up,” Baldric said to the others. The men grumbled but did as they were told. “We’ll practice more tomorrow.”
Baldric stood up and then began to feel around his tunic for his money belt. “Stranger take you Stutters,” Baldric screamed running down to the decks below. “I didn’t even fucking feel it that time.”
