[It's later in the day and the bomb has gone off, but someone hasn't yet heard about it. He's got a slightly more pressing question right now. It's a good one, really.]

HOW DO YOU FIGHT A PERSON WITH A GUN????

[He's also kind of an older guy too. Texting doesn't come natural to him.]

LET THE FIRST SPLINTER YOUR SHIELD

KILL THE ARCHER BEFORE THERE IS ANOTHER

[Which is fine, but he already knows that a gun will fire too quickly to just keep absorbing the blows. He does note this is Willem, though. Hmm.]

[veneries]

Or have the shooter fire on something or someone else while you sneak up on them.

[Though Asha's idea is good too. Mo' guns, less problems.]

I HAVE NO FOOTMEN, UNLESS YOU MEAN TO VOLUNTEER YOURSELF.

[veneries]

I'll volunteer to do the sneaking.

[He's not an idiot.]

[pricechecked]

I'VE NO DESIRE TO MAKE MYSELF THE TARGET.

[Been there, done that. Spoiler alert: it fucking sucked.]

[veneries]

There are ways to draw a man's attention without making yourself a target.

DIVERSIONS. IT IS NOT THE WAY I FIGHT.

[It falls flat in text, but there is hesitation on his side. Having been filled with bullets and brought in by those soft boys, he's having to re-evaluate quite a lot in his mind. Changes, perhaps, had to be made in order to survive.]

[veneries]

That is rather the point of a diversion, I understand. To avoid dying.

Fighting, sorry.

THIS IS DIFFERENT. WHEN I TAKE THESE MEN, I WANT THEM TO HAVE THEIR GUNS IN THEIR HANDS. I WANT THEM TO FEEL THEIR SMUG SENSE OF VICTORY TURN TO ASH IN THEIR MOUTHS.

[He wants them to suffer for ever thinking that a coward's weapon made them a man.]

[veneries]

So it's not merely a question, but an actual man with an actual gun you wish to deal with.

[Ramsay were you expecting hypothetical questions from an ironborn?? no of course not.]

[pricechecked]

[Oh damn, he said too much. Oh well.]

YES. I HAVE A SCORE I MUST SETTLE WITH HIM.

[veneries]

Then I'd not speak of it where any could hear, Ironborn.

[This... was probably a good idea, really.]

I HAVE AVOIDED SAYING TOO MUCH.

[Like he said he has a sword instead of an axe! That's how clever he is!]

[veneries]

There's a man with a gun you wish to kill. What more is there to be said?

[pricechecked]

THAT THERE IS TWO. AND THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY FIRED UPON ME.

[veneries]

Perhaps you might share the whole story, Greyjoy, and say if you can manage the situation alone.

A MAN THOUGHT TO STEAL FROM ME, SO I DEALT WITH HIM AS IS MY RIGHT. A PAIR OF GUARDS ARMED WERE ABLE TO SUBDUE ME WITH THEIR GUNS.

[veneries]

And now you're an unwilling guest of the city watch, with iron bars for company.

[If the man was fool enough to get caught he deserves to be held. Ramsay has no desire to draw their attention, not now that he's found that the Starks and Reek were members.]

IRON BARS I COULD BREAK IF NEED BE, BUT NOT EASILY DONE WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY GUARDS.

BUT THERE ARE LESS OF THEM NOW.
