His Pirate // Tyrion Lannister (2)

Itch

They got off the boat and kat stood there. watching Tyrion get hauled off, she saw his eyes peering out at her. she didn't know if she could leave. Fight a battle that wasn't hers. But she didn't want to leave him either.

'You staying?' bash questioned wrapping an arm around her.

'please stay!' kaz begged, falling to his knees dramatically.

'please!' they chorused. She glanced over at jac, she was sitting in a barrel waving to the shore. She looked who she was waving to and saw Tyrion coming out of his cage. He saw them and waved, smiling at her. but then his face fell. The rest of varys men had already gotten off the ship. What was she doing? Tyrion ran to the edge of the balcony. His eyes begging her to come.

"T T. T T.' jac said waving still and smiling.

'I'm sorry boys...' kat said picking up jac. 'its has been a real pleasure.' She saluted them and headed off. Her heart broke as she left. Her feet hitting solid ground. She refused to turn around as bash and kaz called for her. begged her to stay. Begged her to join them on an adventure.

'Trouble come back!' that broke her heart but she didn't stop walking.

Tyrion let out his breath, as she stepped onto the shore. Her pain was pinched with pain as she walked towards him, her head down, her lips pursed, her eyes holding unshed tears. Jac smiled happily though at him.

'T T, T T,' she said reaching for him.

'I think jac missed you.' Kat said as Tyrion reached out for jac.

'are you alright?' Tyrion asked. Kat bit at her lip nodding.

'yeah... yeah I'm good.'

'that was convincing.' He said wanting to help but not having the words.

'alright time to move.' Varys said. 'lady lannister...' she glared at him. 'kat.' He corrected. 'this way.' He watched at Tyrion as they walked. Cradling the child, protecting her as if she was his own.

'I haven't ridden a horse in well... a good long while' kat admitted

'That's all right I'm sure there's a room in the carriage' Ren, one of varys men told her gesturing to the box with wheels that tyrion would be traveling in.

'No I want to ride a horse I don't want to be in the tiny box. it's just on the ocean... I was a pirate ya know'

'I recall you mentioning that once or twice' he joked.

'well we didn't have horses and Jack wasn't a fan he got kicked in the face once so I've never really learned but I would like to... would do you teach me? show me what to do?'

'Sure thing little lady. Here you put your leg here and you hold onto the rains and I'll boost you up at the side...' he looked at jac smiling and laughing pointing at the horse. 'Hey Corey take little Jac while I get her mama on the horse.' Corey came and took jac from kat as Ren hoisted kat up.

'Can i ride with jac?' Kat asked

'Sure just hold on tight. Wouldnt want the little lady falling off' corey said handing her back jac.

'Alright you kick your heels and hold on. Street by pulling on the reins a bit she will follow the group so just dont topple over, shes a good mare, she will guide you straight.' ren said smiling up at her. Jac waved at him.

'Wat dis?' Jac asked

'Horse. This is a Horse'. Kat pat the horses mane and she looked back at them and gave them a little neigh. Jac squealed with delight and tried to copy the horses noises as they rode.

'Its like an itch varys' Tyrion told him once situated and on the road to their destination once again.

'An itch?' varys questioned

'Yes she is like an itch'

'I dont understand'

'Yes when I'm not with her Its like this.. Itch and when I'm with her I itch when i think about her i itch. It's just this incessant ...itching.' Tyrion told him.

'And she's the only one who can scratch it?' Varys questioned

'Exactly.'
