'Wildfire'

'Wildfire? Why are you lying to me?'

'I'm not.'

'Bronn I think you should start cutting off bits.' Tyrion said from inside the crate, staring down his cousin. Podrick and Bronn stood outside waiting. Bronn was the muscle and Podrick was Podrick.

'No no please no' Lancel begged glancing up at the shadow Bronn was creating in the crate.

'Do you think it will make Jaime more likely to kill you or less likely. When I tell him you're a fucking his sister? Tyrion questioned

'I'm telling you the truth!' Lancel said desperately.

'A smart man would.' Tyrion agreed.

'She is making wildfire, she is. I swear it.' Lancel told him.

'And perhaps he would take sympathy on your balls but there's only one way to find out.' Tyrion went on

'They have thousands of pots already stored they are planning to launch them from the city walls and into stannis's ships and armies please!' Lancel said

'when did she tell you this?' Tyrion questioned

'I heard her talking with the Pyro maester the other night. After I left her she went to meet him. I swear.' Lancel begged.

'do you swear to me on what?' Tyrion questioned.

'On my life' Lancel assured

'But I don't care about your life.' Tyrion told him.

'By the light of the seven but all that is holy and right I am Lancel Lannister-'

'All right enough, even torturing you is boring. Oh and Lancel do tell Bronn if anything is to happen to me he is to kill you.' Tyrion told him as he stumbled out of the crate.

'If anything is to happen to Lord Tyrion kill me.' Lancel said to Bronn.

'It would be my pleasure,' Bronn said as he ran away Podrick offered Tyrion a hand up.

"Such a good squire." Tyrion remarked.

'King's Landing will fall an hour after Stannis lands his force. It's not too late for King Joffrey and Cersei and the court to ride west to safety.' Kevan suggested

'Surrender the Iron Throne?' Tywin questioned "No. Storm and Five are headed there and they will protect the iron throne."

'Better than seeing their heads mounted on the city gates.'' Kevan remarked ''Stannis will execute them all.''

''No, a king who runs will not be king for long. He's a Lannister. He'll stand and fight.'' Tywin corrected.

"You are sending two unknown people as our biggest defense? One of whom is a child." Kevan reminded him.

"I'm right here and take offense to that." Five told him.

"You take offense to everything." Storm corrected.

'Stannis, two days from the capital and the wolf at my doorstep.'' Tywin remarked through a huff of a breath. "I need a Storm at the gates." Storm chuckled.

"You got one." She agreed.

'The scouts assure us Robb Stark remains north of Ashemark.'

''Ha! The last time the scouts assured us of Stark's movement, he lured us into a trap. Which is why my son is his prisoner.'' Tywin spar. ''Too close to Casterly Rock.''
