Wanted to be more like him... and that was the problem. That was the horror. There should not be men like him if there was any justice in this world. He bowed his head and was silent to her questions and held her close.

As he held her,"Is it that bad? You are my father, please tell me what has your heart in such a grip and keeps your voice so dead."
Her head was rested on his shoulder,"Tell me, please. If my being here is something hard for you." Naomi then whispered,"I will choose to leave. I do not wish to bring you anymore pain."

Her eyes focused on her father's,"Then tell me what is in your head. What is there? It has to do with me, I know that already."
Naomi looked down,"I came here to be with my family, I grew tired of doing things that would make you proud and not be able to share it with you."
"Not knowing, if you and Breia were even still alive or even on the seas. I found you because I am you, atleast a part of me."

He pulled back from her, turning to walk back to his ship. "Not now Naomi, maybe when you're a bit older."

"Goddamnit, father", she yelled at him. Naomi shook her head and then walked to the camp. Turning to one of her crewmembers,"Prepare the ship. We're leaving. Now." She then looked for Breia, but she did not find her. Naomi sighed sadly and left the gift she had promised. "I'm so sorry, Breia", she whispered. "I will come back for you, I promise."
Naomi grabbed her things and walked off to board the Grey Lady. As she stepped aboard, her first mate approached her,"We are ready, Captain. Where are we setting our course?" She looked at him and sighed. Looking back at the campsite,"Give me a moment... I will be in my cabin."
She opened the door, tossed her pack tot he side. As she turned to her desk there was beautiful bearskin cloak draped over her chair. It was the skin her father had worked on so feverishly. It was for her. Naomi ran her hand across the fur, small tears fell as she wrapped it around her shoulders. "Thank you, father." In that instance she felt small hands around her waist from behind her.
Turning with a start, she saw Breia. Kneeling down to her,"What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here." Breia touched her cheek,"But you need me now. Father will be fine." Naomi smiled and hugged her lifting her off the floor. The first mate knocked on her doorframe,"Captain, where to?" Naomi sniffed back tears with a smile, then looked at Breia. "We will go to Essos for a while. How does that sound?" Her little sister nodded with a smile.
The Grey Lady had it's course and set sail into the setting sun of the hidden cove. Leman's Ironborn daughters were bound for different seas.

Sliding in the hidden bay, the Gray Lady settled in smoothly.
Naomi smiled at the sandy beaches and told the crew to get settled in,"We will wait for my father and after we will set sail with him." Breia nodded with a smile, it had been a year since they had seen their father. They had so much to tell him.
Her heart weighed heavy as she held her son, thinking on the lie she was complating telling her father. In the following weeks until Leman Harlaw arrived, she would either choose to bear this burden and see her father happy or tell him the truth and break his heart.
