In the midst of the early morning light, a ship familar to Leman pulled closer into the bay. It dropped its anchor in the water and a young woman slid down a mooring line into the salty water. She smiled at the sight of the man laying on the sand, she yelled to him,"Father, it is no time for resting. We need more ships!!!"
Naomi ran through the water to her father with a huge smile upon her face. It had been three whole name days since she had been to Westeros and also since she had seen her father.

His shoulder burned, but he recognized that voice. He knew that voice! The man leapt up as the small girl ran out from inside the beached ship. She shrieked with joy, then jumped off the ship into Leman's arms and clambered onto his shoulders. Leman ran into the water, his booming laugh echoing over the water. The two meet in the water, Leman picking her up and whirling her around, falling backwards into the water. And so in the salt and spray of the sea, a family is reunited once again.
Leman pulls the girl out of the water and sets her on her feet. "How did you find us?"

The joy in seeing the faces of her family, the years she had not seen them. Her little sister was no longer a babe in arms but beautiful. Naomi smiled at her father as the seawater dripped from her clothes and hair,"We are family, I will always find you."
"Plus news travels around about the events happening here in the West. A dead king, lands in turmoil, possible war. I could not stay away not anymore."

"The king... is dead?" Leman stood stock still for a second. Well that was interesting. He began to walk back to shore, leading her to the fire to warm up.

She nodded,"Yes, it seems that he was killed by shadows, they say. I hear that there are still dragons about and that the new king and queen are no older than I am."
Rubbing her hands near the fire. Feeling the warmth she smiled at her sister,"What no hug or are you too big for that now?"

Breia launched herself full force at Naomi, nearly knocking the woman over. Leman sat opposite the young woman, staring at her as she laughed with her sister. She looked even more like her now, hair cut short and smiling that devilish grin...

Naomi landed in the sand laughing with her little sister, she smiled and hugged her close. The smell of the salt air was heavy on her. She sat back looking her over, touching her hair,"You have grown. I have a present for you but it is on the ship. I will give it to you later, alright?"
Naomi turned and saw her father staring at them,"What? Yes father, I cut my hair. It will grow back."

He started. "It's not that, it's... nothing." He forced a smile onto his face "How have you been? Where have you been? God below girl, it's been 3 years since I last saw you! What have you been doing all that time?"

She was puzzled for a moment at his answer, then she smiled. "I have been spreading our name among the Free Cities, making Harlaw a force to be reckoned with in the East."
Naomi stroked Breia's hair as she talked to him,"I spent some time sailing around, I ran into a few pirates but then moved to Braavos. I have some things below in the ship that I think you may find of some value." Watching the sun as it hung in the sky,"I am just glad to be around you again, father."
"And I plan to stay a while. I feel that you may need me now."Her grey eyes smiling as she kissed Breia's forehead.

"The name Harlaw... Hah! I suppose my brother will be happy about that. Though having a small little girl represent ironborn in the free cities probably won't help our reputation!" Leman teased lightly

"Small? Little?" she smiled again and laughed,"I have you know, I am respected in some circles. I do not have to use my sword in most conversations."
She then flashed a small devilish grin,"Diplomacy has it's advantages."

Leman waved his hand in the air "Pah. It's so much faster to just hit their heads into the nearest wall. Jib-jabberng just takes so much time! And in the end it's so much less satisfying."

"Spoken in true Ironborn fashion, father. A diplomat you are not." Naomi smiled. she then paused and looked at him.
"I want to be given to the Drowned God, I am old enough now. I respect that mother taught me of the Old Gods but...."Her face serious,"That which is dead never dies."

"But rises again, stronger..." He looked at her for a long time "do you truly want to be given to him? There will be pain" his voice got softer "you could die."

Nodding, she smiled,"I am not afraid, I will rise again. We have been parted long enough, he does not want me, that is not his plan. I believe that." Naomi touched her father's chest, her hand on his heart."He will not part us again, we are a family reunited."
"And soon a family reborn. I am ready. I am Ironborn, father."
