The ambassador from Lys is a tall blonde man with curled and perfumed hair in the Lyseni style. His face is suntanned from being some weeks on a ship. He sports a small forked beard in the manner of the Tyroshi. He is also accompanied by two companions, both dressed in the Lyseni fashion.
He bowed before King Rodrick.
"I bear greetings and salutations to the great lord King Rodrick of the Seven Kingdoms from Daario Prince of Lys" he said with a marked accent of the Free Cities.
"Let me introduce myself and to spell out the reasons why I am here. I am Viserio Velari. I am instructed by my lord the Prince of Lys, to seek audience with the King of Westeros in order to discuss certain matters pertaining to the mutual interests of both Westeros and the Free City of Lys.
He paused briefly.
"I and my lord the Prince of Lys, thank you for agreeing to meet with me at this time."

Rodrick snarled, "If you do not make this more interesting, I am going to feed you to my hounds. I am at war, and talking to prissy men in silk gowns is not my idea of a break." He paused, "You are a man right?"

Ambassador Velari did not look startled or insulted. He stared directly at the King and said calmly.
"Of course my lord King. I am a soldier normally, but currently I am not engaged in war. We come here in peace. If it had been otherwise I would have worn armour."

When the King made no reply, Ambassador Velari sighed inwardly and continued.
"The government of Lys headed by my master Prince Daario understands that that you are currently experiencing internal difficulties with some of your not-so-loyal subjects. The Prince and the Senate wish to foster closer relations with Westeros. As such they have authorised me to propose a treaty of friendship between the Crown of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the Free City of Lys. As such as part of the terms for such a treaty, the Free City of Lys proposes that it will support the Crown of Westeros financially and militarily."

Rodrick looked at the man, "Last time I fought the Lysene, I was not much impressed with their skills. And I have enough coin to fight three wars."

Ambassador Velari, whatever he may have been feeling at the King's insult, betrayed no emotion.
"Indeed my lord King? You have no use for the Lysene fleet striking the fleets of your rebellious subjects? The Ironborn perhaps? Breck Dondarrion's fleet maybe? Lord Hightower's?"

Rodrick spit, "You think you can fuck me? Do I smell like some whore with her ass upturned to you?"

Ambassador Velari gave a small smile and bowed.
"Very well my lord King. You have no need or wish for Lys' fleets, money or friendship. I shall convey your very clear message to Prince Daario and the Senate of Lys."

Rodrick thought for a moment, "What are you going to tell them?"

"I shall inform the Prince and Senate of Lys of our conversation as is my duty. Rodrick of Westeros has rejected Lys' offer of friendship and has no interest in an alliance."

Rodrick frowned, "You are not going to tell them I was rude are you? I hate when little pissant fucks like you, make those claims against me. It is not called for."

"I most humbly agree. It is not called for."
Ambassador Velario bowed.
"Now lord King I shall return to Lys bearing your message to my superiors. I am sure the Prince will heed the advice you have so generously offered and will seek friends and allies for Lys elsewhere."

Rodrick contemplates strangling the man, but instead turns and walks away.

Ambassador Velari turns and exits the King' presence together with his two companions.
He glanced around to make sure no-one was near that could overhear them.
"It appears our course has been set." he murmured under his breath to one of them, clearly a relative, judging by their similar facial features.
"The oaf king has at least made it easier for Daario. Now he does not have to make a choice."
The Lyseni party exits the camp and makes their way towards Duskendale to start on their journey south.
