Before any more of you embarass yourselves by calling and hounding me about Greyjoy's disappearance, I've no idea where he's got to either.

He's probably fallen in a river and gotten himself drowned. Good riddance.


[Honestly, he's trying to prove that he's a Changed Man and how can he do that with Theon just vanishing???? This is why Theon is the worst and deserves everything he gets.

Also hi, did you know he was awake again? He's awake again.]

A kraken drowning. Seems rather silly.

[ Hi buddy how you doing. ]

When did you take note of his disappearance?

[veneries]

When I had a string of messages left accusing me of something quite unsavoury.


[ it's not exactly true. He'd noticed Theon was gone before then but didn't care enough to do anything]

[dorzalta]

You've quite the climb to make, lord Bolton.

[ Does she think he'll manage? Time would tell. ]

[veneries]

[ see, she calls him Lord Bolton. He likes her. ]

I've nowhere to climb at all. I haven't touched Theon fucking Greyjoy.

Well. Not since I awoke again.

[dorzalta]

[ She's all about being polite. Until someone goes and pisses her off. ]

Of course, but others would believe otherwise.

[veneries]

And to save them the trouble of breaking down my door,
I've let them all know at once.

[dorzalta]

Rather thoughtful of you. I wonder if it's worked?

[ With the way Jon is going on, she would say no. ]

[veneries]

If you mean the bastard of winterfell, I wonder if anything ever penetrates that skull of his.

[dorzalta]

[ A chill. Genuine anger over such a casual mention of her lover. ]

Mind your words, lord Bolton. If the rumors are true, which I am well aware they are, you share the very same humble beginnings as he. Unlike you, however, he was King in the North at one time.

Interesting how status may change so quickly with so little regard.

[veneries]

It's the way of the world, your grace. Your ancestors ruled until the Baratheons overthrew you, and now you were there to return the favour. The strong do what they must.


[does he really believe it? probably not. he does what he likes, after all.]

[dorzalta]

It was the way of an old and broken world. One that our fathers played a part in ruining.

[ Hers, in particular. Even his, she'd say. ]

This world is different.

[veneries]

The lessons learned over a lifetime are hard to unlearn, your grace. I'm doing what I can.

[dorzalta]

Were those lessons taught to you by your lord father?

[ He spins a good tale; none had spoken falsely to her about that facet of his person, at least. Whether there is but a sliver of truth threaded into his words remains to be seen. ]

It's all that can be expected. Do continue to try, lord Bolton.

[song_of_ice]

Leave him, your grace. We'll look for Theon ourselves.

perma-private etc etc

[dorzalta]

Your grace?

[song_of_ice]

[He's not in the best of moods and rattled by this whole thing.]

Dany.

[dorzalta]

I'll ask lord Tepes to travel with you in search of Theon.

[song_of_ice]

I don't need Lord Tepes to go with me.

[dorzalta]

No, you don't, but I would prefer it all the same.

You would deny me that peace of mind?

[song_of_ice]

I have Ghost.

If you don't come with me, you will need your guard with you instead.

[dorzalta]

Ghost does not make you invincible. I will not beg for this.

Percy's to come to Wyver, and he will be residing with me. I've allies in Wyver as well. I hardly think Ramsay Bolton would take this as his opportunity to cause harm to me when he's bent the knee so soon.

[song_of_ice]

You can't predict him. When he grows tired of the game, he will change the rules as it suits him. He needed Sansa to keep the North, but it didn't stop him from using her in ways that would turn the whole of the North against him.

[He's just going to ignore the subject of Vlad and go about his business as he always did. He was a lone wolf and these sorts of missions were his burden to bear.]

I don't want him near you or Sansa. Sansa needs to leave Olympia.

[dorzalta]

That's fair. However, seeing as how you cannot predict him as well, I will request lord Tepes proffer his aid regardless. If not with you, then I'm sure lady Sansa will be appreciative.

[ If he chooses to make these claims, then she will do the same. ]

On the matter of her moving, lady Sansa will do as she pleases. She's a grown woman, my lord, not a child in need of your commands.

[song_of_ice]

I have Ghost. Send Lord Tepes to Sansa.

[She told him he was stubborn recently and she was absolutely right about that.]

I know, but she has killed him twice. She shouldn't stay in the same city as him.

[He could say these things, but both Dany and Sansa would do what they wanted. It was frustrating, especially in the face of the madman who had killed his brother. But this wasn't the reason for his temper, it was the fact that the Natha would let Ramsay wake and roam without restrictions. How could he trust the Natha when they would save someone like him as well, someone who wouldn't help anyone but himself?]

[dorzalta]

Lord Tepes will go where he pleases, if he chooses to go at all. I am not his queen.

[ But I am yours hovers, unsaid. Better for him to speak of this to her, even in this way, than to run off to cause problems. ]

She will do as she pleases. If she feels safer to reside in Wyver for a time, she is welcome to stay with us. If she would prefer to continue living her life, then she will do that.

Just as you've decided to move to Wyver.
