Vickon found himself shrugging again. "Truth be told I care little of dragons." He turned to look at Wyman, "Now ships are far more interesting. Tell me Manderly, how fairs White Harbour?"

"She is strong as ever. 3 new Dromons in the past year, including my new flagship, Weirwood Sea. Triple masted, 200 rowers. Though I fear it doesn't compare to a dragon." Wyman smiled at the Targaryens.

Aelinor nodded at his comment with a smile, and stood closer to her brother as the night air was nipping at her through the woolen cloak that she wore.

Vickon nodded listening intently, "The flagship, copper plated I would presume?"

"Steel actually, it's lighter and can absorb more punishment." Wyman said. "Of course it is a bit more expensive."

Vickon nodded approval. "Ahh, steel of course." Although he knew Steel was stronger than cooper as Manderly pointed out, it was also more prone to rusting from seawater than copper was. The ship would be useless within a year or two.
The fact that Manderly had more ships was troubling though. Although White Harbour was a long way from the Iron Islands it was still the centre of Northern trade with the Southron lords and the key to unlocking the North. He looked up at Manderly where he stood, And this key would not be easy to take. He frowned and resubmerged his head under the water. Bloody Dragons, Bloody Wolves and Bloody Mermen.

The princess shivered slightly, holding onto Aelix's hand and listening to them talk. She looked at her brother, grinned,"I think our evening has come to it's end here at the weirwood." She nodded to them all, with a smile. "I will bid you all a good night, gentlemen. I hope to see you all on the morrow."
Turning to leave with Aelix walking beside her, they headed back up to the castle.

Vickon turned and watched the Targaryens leave. "Nothing like the sight of a woman walking away, huh Manderly?" He grinned, laughed, and dunked his head back into the cold pool of water.

Aelix seems to come out of a trance and looks to Aelinor, "If you prefur we could stay here a little longer." He looks to her.

She nodded yes as they continued walking towards the castle, "I am cold, my beloved." She could still feel the eyes of the Ironborn Pyke upon her as she walked away.
Not daring to look back, she continued while laying her head on Aelix's shoulder.

He turns and holds her face. "Now. Lets get you inside before your nose drops off. Come with me to my chambers."
