[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.]

Aye.

[ He decides it might be best not to mention that he is a member of the Royal Guard. That isn't very ironborn of him. But wait--hold up. ]

That isn't where you are?

TWO MEMBERS OF THE GUARD ATTACKED ME WITH THEIR GUNS.
I HAVE BEEN RECOVERING SINCE THEN.

[He could say why, but he's sure Theon will know that Victarion did nothing wrong. Guards are just real dicks around here.]

[ Theon isn’t willing to take a side here just yet, and he may not take a side at all regardless of what happened. Ironborn can be real dicks, but so can guards. They don’t understand the ironborn, and Victarion won’t understand them and their guns. ]

Unprovoked? Have they at least sent a maester to tend to you?

THEY DID NOT APPROVE OF HOW I DEALT WITH A THIEF. BUT THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A HEALING DRAUGHT AND REMOVED THE BULLETS. MY WOUNDS HAVE MOSTLY HEALED NOW.


[And with all this chaos, well... it was time to move things along.]

Your guards have all gone?

[ It's an easy assumption. Most of the guards have scattered to deal with the attack. Theon is one of them, but he isn't so honorable that he won't duck away to deal with other matters. ]

I HAVE SEEN ONLY ONE IN THE PAST HOUR. THEY MAY YET BE MORE.

I NEED ONLY A DISTRACTION.

[This is where Asha would come in, but something seems to have happened.]

private

[reek]

What manner of distraction?

private

[pricechecked]

[What kind of distraction??? This is what Asha was for. She was clever about things like this in a way that Victarion and clearly Theon were not. But he did know someone else that was clever as well...]

BE HERE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR. I WILL HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TO JOIN YOU. THEY WILL KNOW WHAT NEEDS DONE>

I am quite certain I can handle it on my own, uncle.

[ He really can't. He's just stupid and proud. ]

THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOU TO PROVE YOURSELF. COME AND BE READY.

[This isn't going to be another Winterfell.]

[ FINE!!! ]

Very well.
