ASHA GREYJOY follows closely behind her father with her hands held behind her back, her head held high and proud as she had been taught. The two are making their way to the throne room where Asha's siblings both wait for them and the plans their father had made to take back the Iron Islands as their kingdom.
"The plans are made," Balon announces as he enters the throne room, Asha still trailing closely behind. "It's time you heard them."
"Father." Yara and Theon both greet Balon in sync as their father and elder sister move over to the map picturing Westeros, the duo standing on the opposite side of Yara and Theon.
"The wolf pup has gone south with the entirety of the Northern army at his back." Balon begins his explanation of the plan he recently came up with. "While he's tangling with the lion in the Westerlands, the North is ripe for the taking." Asha looks over at her father from the corner of her eye, not having been told about them taking the North. It wasn't that she cared about the Northerns in any sense, but she did care about her brother, and the boy had been raised by the Starks at Winterfell, and even if he denied it, Asha could tell Theon still held a special place in his heart and soul for the wintry place of the North. "The Ironborn will reave and pillage, as it was in the old days, all along the Northern coast. We'll spread our dominion across the green lands, securing the Neck and everything above. Every stronghold will yield to us, one by one. Winterfell may defy us for a year, but what of it? The rest shall be ours, forest, field, and hall." As Asha makes eye contact with her brother standing across from her, she can see the hesitation to agree in his eyes, though she just gives him an apologetic look from across the table. "Asha, Yara, my daughters, you'll take thirty longships to attack Deepwood Motte," Balon states, and Asha looks away from Theon and over to her father as he speaks her name.
"I've always wanted a castle," Yara comments with a small grin and Asha nods once in agreement, not able to deny the fact the two sisters had always talked about leaving their father to their own castle, which wouldn't be out of the ordinary considering the two are born into the culture of stealing and the sorts.
"What's my role in all this?" Theon cuts in, and everyone looks over at him, Balon seems annoyed by his only living son simply speaking aloud to him, but their father still sighs before answering.
"You'll take a ship to raid the fishing villages on the Stoney Shore." Balon informs Theon, as if speaking to his son causes him discomfort.
"A ship?" Theon's eyes widen and his brows raise incredulously. "You give her thirty and I get one?" Theon gestures to Asha before his hand comes back down to the table.
