"I know my next move Lord Greyjoy, but I do not know yours. Once I know you are my friend, then I will trust you more, but I know the Ironborn have a short memory." Lannister said simply.

"Do we? I think the very opposite. I recall who ensured that we keep the Shields years ago, I recall which house brought fire and ruin to our empire, I recall the many years we've spent chained to the Iron Throne. And this new queen is more of the same, if not worse. She builds her fleet to counter ours, she buys my former allies and gives them grand titles and positions, she means to keep a tighter grasp than her predecessors ever did. The Iron Islands prosper under some autonomy, and Rhaenys is not the one to follow if I hope for that. Do not worry about my memory, Tyberion, nor my motives. I want what is best for my people."

"Believe me when I say I think you will do what is best for your people. Yet I think you will try and maintain you own command of them. And that path lies close to the Queen. So what do you propose to remedy our problem." Tyberion asked.

"That path lay close to the queen, as I said before. Now? Right now, I need Farwynd. If I can get him out of King's Landing, we can rally the fleet if it should come to blows."

"I have no doubt that Farwynd will be able to extract himself from King's Landing. He seems quite capable. And where will you strike if it comes to blows?"

"I'll burn the fucking Royal Fleet in port if I can. Avoid getting tied down if I can help it, reave the coast, cut their baggage trains. If we can wheel around Dorne, sail up the Mander to Highgarden, burn the fields, and starve the lot of them."

Tyberion smiled, "That would be interesting. I fear to speak of it further could only bring bad luck."

"Fair enough. Well, I suppose I'll wait for your next move, before I make mine."

Tyberion nodded, "I believe that is it then."
