Hidden bay

[Iron King Vickon Greyjoy]

They made love on the beach for what seemed like an age and by the time they finished the sun was beaming down on them both, the thick cloud cover now dissipated. They both dressed and began to walk back to their camp. "We should do that again sometime." Vickon said, a wide grin on his face.

[Naomi Harlaw]

She chuckled,"Really?" Naomi noted his grin, and returned with her own,"I think I can arrange that."

Even though their moment was what she wanted, Naomi knew that if she wanted to have the heart of Vickon Pyke, he needed to release his love for the Dragon Bitch. In the end, the die has been cast and she will get what she desired, even if it meant paying the Iron price.

[Leman Harlaw]

Leman sensed a disturbance in the the force, lifting his head and scratching his beard. The bear was almost done, he had stretched it out and blessed the sun that would dry it quicker. He worked wood, not fur. He hoped it turned out.

[Naomi Harlaw]

Naomi walked back up the beach and stopped to watch her father continue to work. She noticed that the bear was done and he was working on work now. She went back to her original spot on the rock.

[Leman Harlaw]

Looking up, Leman saw her sittingg down. He chuckled "How long have you been there?"

[Naomi Harlaw]

She shrugged with a smile,"I think since you started on the bear. What are you working on?"

[Leman Harlaw]

"Don't rightly know yet but I'll probably decide later" he moves to the framework laid out on the sand and kicks one of the pieces lightly "seems like ages since I did real work with my hands."

[Naomi Harlaw]

"You seem happy doing it", she smiled again. Naomi then looked at the bright sun and sighed, looking at her father.

"Father? How would I know if you would approve of someone I was.... Interested in.' Her eyes were inquisitive, waiting for his amswer.

[Leman Harlaw]

He laughed "I'd like to meet the man first"

[Naomi Harlaw]

She nodded,"okay and what if you have met him already? Would that make a difference?"

[Leman Harlaw]

He sat down on the piece of wood, looked up and grinned "Lads have begun to catch your eye then? Ha! Hope you aren't like your mother, picking the first piece of trash you find with some muscles. I got lucky though!" He laughs heartily, bending over and slapping his knee.

[Naomi Harlaw]

She smiled, lightly laughing at his joke. If he only knew. "Yeah, but you and her made beautiful daughters. You can't get beauty like this from trash."

"And someone has caught my eye, but I think he has someone else in his heart."

[Leman Harlaw]

He looked down at his feet then, expression darkening a little "You got the looks from your mother, but unfortunately I think there is a little of me inside you." He paused, mulling over what he could say to his eldest. He looked up straight into those dark grey eyes "If you're only interested in this man, who you should NEVER tell me who he is if you want him alive, and he doesn't have anything in his heart for you, do not pursue but forget him. Move on would be my advice."

[Naomi Harlaw]

Her eyes. Her eyes were always the betrayer to her, no matter what her words said. "Yes father", was all she could muster to say to him. He could not know it was Vickon, why in the Hells did it have to be him? The Old Gods of her mother were cruel, maybe this was her punishment for choosing to serve the Drowned God. But how could she remain torn between the two?

Her father was wrong, there was a lot of him in her. Naomi looked at him,"If you had to choose, who would you prefer for me?"

[Leman Harlaw]

He snorted in amusement "I'd prefer that I find a man who's stupid enough to take you, and wise enough to treat you well. But failing that I suppose I might take a few suggestions..."
