His Pirate // Tyrion Lannister (2)

So much for bonding

'Do you need help?' Tyrion asked bran for her sat still while the rest of the room cleared out.

'No' he answered solemnly looking into the fire. 'thank you kat, for offering to protect me.' bran said as kat turned to leave. She turned back to him.

'oh sure. Whats family for if they cant risk their lives to save each other?' she offered smiling over at him.

'You've had a strange journey' Tyrion told him

'No stranger than most' Bran replied. 'I'm sure captain kat of the black pearl has some of the best stories in the world.'

'that I do. After this whole thing is over I can tell you em all if you want.' Kat said hopefully.

'I would like to hear about your journey,' tyrion said pulling up a chair, 'I know a great deal of kats story. She is a talker.' Kat slapped his arm.

'It's a long story,' Bran told him

'If only we were trapped in a castle in the middle of winter with nowhere to go...' tyrion said leaning in.

****************************

Jaime and tyrion sat sitting by the fire drinking one last drink before the battle began.

'I wish father were here' Tyrion said surprising Jaime. 'I would love to see the look on his face when he realizes his two sons are about to die defending Winterfell' Tyrion clarified

'That would be something to see' Jaime agreed

'I remember the first time we were here, the first time we were here you were a golden lion while I was a drunken whore monger.' Tyrion reminded him 'It was so simple'

'It was not simple' Jaime told him, 'I was sleeping with my simple sister and you had one friend in the world that was sleeping with his sister.'

'I was speaking in relative terms' he told Jaime

'Do you miss it?'

'Of course I miss it'

'Oh my golden lions days are done but your whore monger days are still an option.

'It's not... things would be easier if it weren't for Self-betterment,' tyrion raised glass

'our mother?' Jaime questioned.

'she is not our mother shut up.'

'and people yelled at me for sleeping with my sister... but you and mother!' Jaime teased. 'Mother!' jaime called seeing kat walk in jac in hands. He pulled her into his lap. 'Mother i was thinking-'

'Oh thats never a good idea, don't want to pull a muscle.' kat teased

'What do you scream out when you fuck your son?' Tyrion went red and downed another drink

'What?' Kat questioned laughing. 'Im not fucking you jaime.'

'Not me your other son' he tipped his head to tyrion.

'I have one son. And hes a little shit most of the time.' Kat clarified.

'Hey!' Jaime said offended.

'Right a big shit.' Kat corrected patting his cheek before standing up. 'And im still not fucking you.'

'I adore you' tyrion said pulling up a chair next to him

'I know' kat replied bouncing jac in her lap. 'I think im gonna have another go at arya.' Kat told tyrion. 'Can you hold jac while i try and bond?'

'Sure' he said reaching out for jac she was half asleep in kats arms.

She found her with sandor on the walkway. He was sitting with arya, drinking ale. Silence filled the air. Kat watched the two for a moment.

'You never used to shut up and now you just sit there like a mute?' Sandor asked

'I guess I've changed' she said 'What are you doing up here?'

'What's it look like?' sandor questioned.

'No I mean what are you doing up here? you join the brotherhood, you fought at the wall with Jon and now you're here, why? When was the last time you thought for anyone but yourself?' arya snapped.

'I fought for you didn't I?' He asked taking back his ale and taking a sip, 'oh for fucks sake.' There went sandors peace and quiet.

'My lady it is good to see you again' beric said 'I'm sorry for the way er parted' beric told arya. 'The Lord of light has brought us together all the same this is his moment when light-'

'Thoros is not here anymore' Sandor reminded him, 'so I hope you're not about to give a sermon because if you are the Lord of light is going to wonder why he brought you back 19 times just for me to knock you over this wall.'

'Where are you going?' Sandor asked arya as she got up and walked away.

'I'm not spending my final hours with you two shits' she told him. 'Hey kat' arya said walking past her kat followed her.

'Hey. I was thinking-' arya moved fast getting to targets and pulling out a bow and arrow. She hit the target perfectly. 'You know you are really quite amazing.' Kat told her

'I know' arya replied

'You know. Of course you know' kat chuckled.

'Hey captain' kat turned around

'Gendry. Ooh thats a beautiful weapon.' Kat said admiring it but arya came up and plucked it from him. It was beautiful well-made she spun it in her hands

'Last time you saw me you wanted me to come to Winterfell, it took a long time but-'

'What did the red woman want with you?' she questioned

'She wanted my blood for some kind of spell.' Gendry told her

'Why your blood?'

'I'm a Baratheon. Roberts bastard. I didn't know until she told me... she tied me up, stripped me down and put leeches on me.' gendry inform her.

'Was that your first time?' arya questioned spinning the spear still.

'I've never had leeches put all over me-'

'Your first time with a woman?'

'What? I was not with her' gendry told her.

'So much for bonding.' Kat muttered making her way out. 'See ya gendry. Bye arya.'
