[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.]

I have my armor and shield for this purpose but I'm afraid I can't let you have it. Even if I could, it would be far too large for you.

But I think maybe the royal armories might have something like that. If they have firearms here, they must also have the protective armor against it. You might have to ask His Majesty, King Richard for this.

[It's rare that anyone should think anything too big for Victarion. He was not the largest of the Ironborn, but he stood taller than most men. But he had not yet seen Reinhardt...]

I DO NOT THINK THEY WOULD GRANT ME THEIR ARMS. THERE MUST BE OTHER MEANS.

[The Royal Guard was sure as hell not going to give anything to their prisoner. Even if it came from King Richard, who sounded like the sort of person who was played by a fantastic person with amazing taste in characters.]

[ One. He doesn't know this dude is a prisoner. And two, Reinhardt has YET to meet someone larger than him, so...stands to reason. ]

Other means? Well, I'm sure you could ask someone to help make you something. If I bring my Kevlar undersuit to a blacksmith or a tailor, perhaps they might be able to make something. It won't be as good as what I have, but it might stop some of it.

I WOULD OWE A DEBT OF GRATITUDE SHOULD YOU DO SO. THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I MUST RIGHT.

[A kind of Ironborn Justice that has to be carried out.]

Something you must right? Has someone wronged you with a gun that you would need such armor? If so, I am a knight and I could give them justice for you so you need not worry about the guns.

Though I do understand if you would rather yourself. If so, your justice will have to wait until I can find someone, if only because I can't just loan you my undersuit.

I AM IRONBORN. I NEED NO ONE ELSE TO SETTLE MY DEBTS.
YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED.

[Besides, knights was the sort of thing the greenlanders did. They could be great warriors, but their ways were not the Old Way.]

[ Excuse? He'll see your Old Way and raise you the Old Code as narrated by CG Dragon Sean Connery ]

I didn't mean any insult. And I will do what I can about some Kevlar. If I can, were can I find you to give it to you?

[He's not going to go giving a cell number, so he'll need to think of something else...]

YOU CAN TAKE IT TO HOUSE THIRTY SEVEN. THAT IS WHERE MY NIECE LIVES.

[ Good call there. Things would totally change if he knew he was giving some terrible criminal element the hook-up.]

I will do that. I just need a couple more things. I need to know your sizing and your name, so that I don't frighten your niece if I suddenly show up with body armor.

SHE IS NOT SO EASILY FRIGHTENED.

[But... dammit, he has to do this private thing again. He only just learned it and it's REALLY hard to put up. He's just bad at it.]

MY NAME IS VICTARION. I HAVE NO SIZING FOR YOU. A SMITH'S APPRENTICE TAKES THE MEASUREMENT FOR ME.

You say this but you must consider my position. I am very very large and a stranger. But I will take your word for it.

Victarion. I am Reinhardt. And I see. Well, let me think how to do this then. I do not know your world so I don't know what to compare to.

I know! Give me a second.

[ A few minutes later, Reinhardt sends a selfie of him next to a normal sized door, which means he makes it look small. ]

That is me. The door is normal sized. Where would you stand, compared to myself and the door?

[That... cannot be a normal door. And yet, this man might well be as large as that. Andrik was that large and the Mountain larger still. Victarion considers, before providing an indication of his own size. A large man himself, if not quite so large as Reinhardt. Victarion stood at six foot eight.]

WILL THAT SUFFICE?

[ That's totally a normal door. How many times has Victarion hit his head on doors here. But the indication is perfect. ]

That's perfect. I will see what I can do about something like armor. I will have to tell you that it's likely not going to be remotely like mine, but it will stop most of it. At at least make it more survivable.

WHAT DO YOU WISH IN REPAYMENT FOR THIS GIFT, KNIGHT?

[The Old Way would not abide to just being given anything. It would shame him to have to pay the gold price for this gift, but better that than to wear the charity of another.]

[ Funny thing about the Old Code. Charity is a 'knightly virtue'. ]

Repayment? For a gift? A gift is something freely given with no thought for repayment. But I understand honor, so perhaps if there is ever a fight that you feel you need backup for, you will think to call me. I feel as if I haven't had a good battle in ages. That is what I want. The oppertinity to fight along side you some day.

[Ugh. It's almost insulting that this is how he must repay the debt. How could he keep his pride and accept this gift like that?]

I AM THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE OFFERING TO REPAY MY DEBT BY AIDING YOU IN YOUR BATTLES,
NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND.

I suppose that would be acceptable.[ He might not like it but hey, getting to fight next to this dude in battle sounds like a lot of fun for Reinhardt so... He'll take it.] A knight knows when to ask for aide when he needs it. So I will see if I can equip you better for the weapons of this world knowing that I will have a strong ally should I need him.

If your armor lives up to your words, you will have it. I am a man of my word.

[He has his honor. It may be the twisted Ironborn version of honor, but he's bound to it either way.]
