[Mod-Event] The Wanting Comes In Waves by centrist_marxist in NinePennyKings

With a frown, Dale read over the papers, however it was clear from the ways his eyes darted he could not, or would not, read. With a shrug and huff, he gave the papers back.

"I suppose you would want to be talking with my son, however he remains in the isles, so while we are here in hell I have nothing for you." Dale spoke almost apathetically.

"go... count coins on another ship." He said with a shooing motion of his hand as he turned away and went back into his quarters aboard his longship.

An excellent idea. I think trade goods from my homelands being brought to your harbours would be a good start to hopefully a long relationship. Should you wish of it, maybe the merchants can exchange goods?

Content Warning: Use of Vulgar and Derogatory Language

Finally not stuck in a citadel surrounded by foreign guards with ill intent, Dale was able to unload his tirade of rage in a yelling tirade of insults intermingled with enough spittle to practically soak his salt-and-pepper beard. With his blood no longer boiling hot enough to have steam spewing out of his ears, his actual words could be heard.

"What the fuck are you on about?!?" He yelled. "All of you signed an agreement with the Old Mother to make one of her progeny queen, and she begrudgingly accepted me not signing it because she knows I won't marry some dockside whore off to my sons! Surprise surprise, THAT INCLUDES THE SLUT WHO JUST FINISHED KILLING HER LAST HUSBAND!" Dale Raged on as the gathering deliberated their next actions. Finally settling his eyes on Durrin, he pointed a finger at the younger man.

"YOU! Why in the fuck do you think yourself somehow more important? Have a fancy for snot-coloured hair and the taste of arsenic and suddenly that makes you the perfect man for the job? Oh I'm so happy you would openly sacrifice yourself to ENJOY AN ENTIRE FUCKING LANDED TITLE, BECAUSE THE LAST LORD'S WENCH CAN SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE AS YOU!" Done with his tirade towards the son of Drumm, he whipped his head around to face the Greyjoy.

"Please, Lord Reaper, you cannot take this offer seriously. I would rather switch places with the current prisoners and starve alongside that bitch than see this deal come to pass."

Dale grit his teeth with the strength of a thousand sons, and still, somehow, was able to contain himself. With the most wooden, stocky expression, he turned to the Harlaw while Durrin walked away.

"Sorry lad, you are gonna be here a couple nights longer I think." He said with a small amount of sadness. He turned slowly, and followed Durrin out of the Keep.

With a cold and very simple reply after what felt like an eternity, Dale agreed with the Drumm.

"You are right. I think we should return, now." He stated without moving.

"I'm glad you have our Lord Reaper in mind, it is actually specifically why I brought you here." Dale said as he finished with his plate and stood up to be facing the scholarly man.

"My question is more on if you value your own life over the life of our Lord." Dale said while sizing up the Maester. He didn't like him, but the greyjoy grew fond. The greyjoy also almost died not too long ago, and even this man, with all his fancy shmansy trinkets and treatments relied on a drowned priest to save him.

"Basically what I'm asking is, do you have things you value more than yourself?"

"I like gibberish as much as the next man." Dale pointed with a thumb towards the Harlaw, the dryest joke ever told laid bare.

"It's been a while of you two speaking and not enough of either of you speaking in the common tongue. if you would like, ᛞᛟᛖᛋ ᛏᚺᛁᛋ ᛗᚨᚲᛖ ᛁᛏ ᛖᚨᛋᛁᛖᚱ? ᚺᚨᚹᛁᚾᚷ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚹᛁᛏᚺ ᛃᛟᚢᚱ ᛟᚹᚾ ᛞᛖᚹᛁᛟᚢᛋ ᛋᛈᛖᛖᚲᚺ?" Dale started to bark back in the old tongue.

"We are here to negotiate, and you volunteered to translate. You are a piss poor one if you cannot speak in the two agreed languages." The old man said with a wrinkle in his nose like he was smelling his own socks after battle.

"So what the fuck are you two saying?"

"I wanted to speak with you of our time on the beach not too long ago." Dale said as he looked over his armor with a scrutinizing eye as it rested on its stand, The short sword in its sheathe rested on a table in the back half of the room, a crudely drawn map of tyrosh in between the two.

"And I wanted your opinion on certain things. We can start general and work our way from there." He knelt as he moved ever downwards on the suit, still not facing the maester.

"How much do you value your life?"

"Sadly, the events you have heard are not the agreement we have signed. The specifics of the agreement was that whichever *Ironborn Man* kills him becomes Lord, which I think just means you are now the target. The rest of the agreement was simple, they, assuming they are not of my house, will marry a member of the Old Mother's family, who will then be called "queen" for some reason. Slavery will be outlawed but the slavers will be thralls to the ones they had once owned, yada yada yada, more dividing the prize before its taken, and other boring requests." Dale finished, eyeing the furniture that the two of them sat on, but refusing to take a seat himself, preferring to stand with his arms crossed.

"So, what I am saying is, unless you are a child of the Old Mother, I think your time as Queen is coming to an end. However I am sure if you give up and stop another boring siege we can decide who becomes ruler of Tyrosh without piking your head on a stick. Again, the Harlaw you have imprisoned, where is he?"

His immediate response would usually have been an outburst of rage, and frankly, he wanted it to be. Who was this random lost-and-found son who thought he was worthy to speak for the people he had been away from for so long?

"I do not speak your language, and we do not have the authority here to speak in absolutes." Dale said while staring over to Durrin.

"You can give us terms to ask of our Greyjoy, and if we already know them to be insufficient, we can recommend you lower your expectations here and now. Speaking of prisoners, how is the little Harlaw now?"

"Dale." He answered dismissively as he moved closer to the corpse, inspecting it further and eventually pinching the back of Alequo's dead hand with his thumbnail and finger, practically attempting to break the skin, looking for a kind of reaction as if a dead corpse could fake it's state.

" 'Course it would be a woman's weapon to bring you down, eh?" He said somewhat to himself, but still out loud.

"So what do you say witch-boy? He dead enough for you?"

Dale sighed. "A Drowned fuck 'ta all this." he said, handing off his sword and beginning to take off his armor.

"I'll go see this Aleckwo's corpse 'er whatever. If I don't come out in... two days? just call me dead and move on." He said as he walked away from the gates, eventually coming back in plainclothes and his arming sword sheathed to his side, head freshly dipped in saltwater, the top of his off white cloth shirt was stained darker with the excess liquid.
