Mulling over his answer, Dynis assumed that he was right. He had seen more of the world than she had, far more. But he also wasn't someone that was interested in pretty things, like shawls and embroideries. If nothing, she could take care of small children, or do housework until she earned...

"I know enough." Dynis said, starting to feel like this man was antagonising her on purpose. What had she done to him? She led him out of the burning city safely and he was being very ungrateful. Well, he did save her from the guards prior to that, but that was another matter. "Duskendale is...

Outraged by his wilfulness, Dynis was of half a mind to stomp her boots and order him to obey her. Then she remembered that they were both deserters and that she really had no pull over him, or anyone else. Out here, she was just a basically helpless woman. Perhaps she ought to use her brain...

Dynis's jaw dropped at his comment, then she frowned, giving him a glare. "I'm not a whore, I beg your pardon!" She exclaimed, raiding her hands in outrage. "I am not sure what kind of women you usually associate yourself with, ser, but I your suggestion is terribly rude and I do not like it."...

"Of course I know how to ride a horse." Dynis gave a short nod of the head, glancing about into the shadows around the narrow pathway. She would have been jumping at every shadow had she continued through the mountain pass on her own. It was a little sad, really, for the past ten years she...

Eyeing the man suspiciously for a moment, Dynis hesitated. Should she tell him anything? Would he just snatch her, use her and kill her, like any other bandit on the road? Why would travelling with one of the men with the worst reputation in the Seven Kingdoms be better than being ambushed by...

"I had about the same idea." Dynis said, holstering the shortsword. "I don't know where do you think you are going, but they won't let you through the gate. But you are lucky, as I happen to know of a way out. So feel free to follow me." She said smugly and gave chase in the very next moment...

As another voice joined the taunting of the guards and their heads snapped around to take a look at the arriving man, Dynis instinctively slipped away from the wall, ready to turn heel and run, using the welcomed distraction. But the voice was familiar and it made her stand her ground, looking...

The outer walls were burning and the gate would soon be breached. The people were either fleeing the city through the mountain pass, or huddling in their homes, but Dynis was in the streets of King's Landing, despite her orders. Queen Cersei has gathered all her followers and holed up, looking...

Lianna nodded quickly, though she did not know what made her listen to odd looking creatures in the demon realm. Still she liked the talking beasts more than she did the owners of these realms. Perhaps the weasel was as friendly as the lake serpent had been. She looked around and hid behind the...

"I'm fine." Eira snorts gracelessly. "Next time I'll try to interrupt you with something more fun. Like Roshan breaking her hip." A couple of drama-free days pass, but then Oscar and Shiori - your two steadiest crewmembers, if you're honest with yourself - wake you up early one morning while...

It takes real leadership to be able to talk both of them down, to get them to settle their differences, in front of both of them, without being condescending. Luckily, you know conflict resolution inside and out, and you get them talking about impact and restitution and laughing by the end...

But, it's becoming clear to you that your crew are not coping with the peace and quiet with your level of poise: all of your crew need interventions over the course of a week. At first, it's difficult but it's not extraordinary: Eira comms you to come to the cargo deck, to the supply areas, and...

"Fair." Victor shrugs, and doesn't offer any other comment on the matter. You walk for a little while more, then head toward the ship. He bids you goodnight with something resembling a smile and it is a strange sight. -- The next step in your journey is heading into the featureless expanse...

"Your lead has been professional for the most part." Victor says with an approving nod, "However, the same cannot be said of your crew, captain. They are still very unruly, I'm afraid you'll have to tighten their reins if you want this journey to end successfully." He sighs, as if the subject...

"A walk is fine." Victor agrees without protesting too much, surprisingly. Hands behind his back, he walks beside you down a slightly less congested area of the station, frowning at every person that comes close and doing a masterful job at evading being touched by anyone passing by. A couple of...

Victor raises a suspicious eyebrow at you, but still hangs back, "What do you propose?" - Answer.

"Maybe." Victor shrugs, "However, it is unprofessional and that's all the De Rege Technologies care about." When dinner comes to a close, Victor lets you foot the bill - of course - and stands up from the table before you've even talked to the servers. "Thank you for your time, Captain. I'm...

"Sometimes, believe it or not." He gives you a hint of a real, true smile and shares a few anecdotes from his childhood: rich family, but tight-knit and supportive, especially when ten-year-old Victor decided to invest in the lemonade stands of fellow children from lower socio-economic classes...

"I take your point, Zyrina, and stand corrected." Regardless, the dinner goes on, and the small talk could be worse. When the food arrives Victor's eyebrows climb his forehead. He looks down at the food, a bowl of lab-grown meatballs and reconstituted spaghetti, and says fondly that it's just...
