=========================
Kenway is sitting in his bed chambers, chair right by the fire as Midnight took up the entire bed with her nap, his armour and sword settled nicely on a stand with his new axe set nearby, all Kenway did was stare into the flames, almost as if waiting for it to do something else other then burn.
Kenway: Come!
Kenway called as a knock came at his door, Midnight sat up a little but then went back to sleep as Duncan walked in something in his hands while cautiously stepping into the room.
Duncan: Raven from King's Landing, Your Grace.
The door shut behind him as Kenway indicated for him to hand over the message, Kenway took it, unravelled it and read it while his friend stood there tense from the more aggressive King they have been seeing in recent weeks.
Duncan: What does it say?
Kenway smiled to the scroll as he chuckled before glancing up to his friend, much taller friend but even he's scared of the Black Wolf right no.
Kenway: Cersei of House Lannister, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms. "Come to King's Landing, bend the knee or suffer the fate of all traitors".
Duncan didn't know what else to say to that, other then watched Kenway stand from his chair and screw the paper up, before tossing it into the fire, then walk to refill his cup with the wine he keeps seeming to drink.
Kenway: Send a raven to King's Landing. Have it say...
Kenway turned to Duncan as he now has a full cup, maybe that's his problem, a man who drinks too much is a pretty dangerous thing, he is a young man with a Kingdom on his shoulders so drinking his worries away isn't the most un heard thing.
Kenway: ... "The King in the North dares you to march here, to suck my cock". I've got better chance of that happening then she has of me bending the knee to a lion whore.
Kenway drank from his cup walking towards the fire again, leaning on the fireplace as he went back to looking into the flames, Duncan glanced to the over sized wolf on the bed who looked back at him with a deep exhale, almost like she's even giving up on him, Duncan bowed and went to leave but stopped when Kenway spoke to him.
Kenway: Duncan, can I ask you something...?
Duncan turned back to Kenway, the King in the North as he nodded, Kenway didn't see the nod as he was too interested in watching the fire but from the sound of Duncan not leaving made him think he was able to and asked.
Kenway: ... If you knew something, that would change the way someone see's life but them knowing could jeopardies a promise you made to someone else. Would you tell that person the truth, or plead ignorance?
Kenway looked to him, no longer with anger or any emotion for that fact, just curiosity, hand on his waist as another hand held his cup, Duncan didn't know what to sat to him, it's a tough one to be sure so he can only answer the best way he could.
Duncan: Your the King. Your a good man. Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll do the right thing.
Kenway didn't think as highly of himself as Duncan or the others do but this is really toying on his mind, that and the fact he really wants to see Daenerys again, safe and sound, he sent the ships months ago, she has to be nearly here by now.
Kenway: You can go. Don't forget the message.
Duncan bowed before leaving the room, Kenway went back to watching the flames as he sat with the cup in his hands, he drank from it for before holding it in his hands, he then stood to his feet and throw it across the room, causing a crash spilling the wine and making Midnight look up.
