She turned her gaze to the sea and sighed,"Alright. How does Vickon sound? You seem to like him and I am sure he respects you."
"The only drawback is he is a bastard of Lord Greyjoy, but he seems fair enough."

He looked at her " thought I told you not to tell me." He stood up rolling his shoulders "I suppose Greyjoy might thank me for ridding the world of his bastard. "

"I didn't tell you anything. I made a suggestion." She stood looking at her father. "He is not the one."

"Ach, good. I was just thinking what a waste all this work had been. The Pyke, hmm... he's an alright lad, yet I feel he's a bit too ambitious for his place in life. I won't have your children living without a name.

She nodded, her heart relieved. "I will never shame you."
Three years gone and within a day, she had just lied to her father, their conversation felt like a knife turning inside her. "Well I do value your opinion, and when I have made a choice and you approve. May I have your blessing?"

He smiled and knelt in front of her, taking both of her hands in his. "Then, and ever."

Looking down at her father, she smiled. "Stand up please, I am not the Queen. Please get up."
She then looked around, Naomi had not seen her sister running about. "Where is Breia? I promised her a gift."

He groaned slightly as he stood, and brushed the sand from his knees. "She's out and about. In the trees most like. Girls more a monkey than anything else I tell you, but she has never seen so many of them together. She might be watching us right now, she's taken to following people around without telling them. The nuisance. "

Following people around. Naomi bit her lip softly, the only thought that raced through mind was if she had seen them together. "Sounds like she would make one hell of a good scout", she smiled.
"I am sure she knows how to handle herself by now? What did you teach her to fight with?"

"She's a axe girl through and through, she could probably dance the finger dance with the best of them, and not lose a drop of blood the way she juggles her 'dolls'"

"Why am I not surprised", she laughed. "When she is woman grown, Breia will be a force to reckon with. I may need her." Naomi smiled at him,"when I can't use diplomacy anymore. With her standing beside me, we could not lose."
She shrugged at him with a smile.

"It's a thought... when she's a little older, it might be good for to go with you." He frowned " I fear I pamper her."

"She was all you had." Naomi frowned slightly,"I was not here and mother... It was not her fault. Breia loves you." She felt so sad to hear her father's words. "She was all you had."

"I'm getting older. And yet... I always worry I'll outlive everything that was good in my life. Your mother... she.. oh, she was such a rock. When she was taken, it was as if a pillar was taken out from under me. I quite lost myself." Fury was in his eyes then, masked by the gentle voice he spoke with "I reaped, I didn't even take. I burned them all, their ships, their men...their wives. Children. She knows you know. You can't hide things like that from a child. And she still loves me. after the horrors I commited, she doesn't understand what evil is. Any kind of it."

"She is true Ironborn, not like me. Breia does not know of the Old Gods as mother taught me. There is no conflict within her. That is why I wanted to be drowned to be more like you."
Naomi hugged her father, then looked at him. "... Father... Why did I leave? Why at sometimes you can't look at me?"
