[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.]

[ 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.]
