Locked - to Blue Fish and First Breath

[tallasaking]

Who: Tyrion Lannister
Broadcast: Private to the crew of the Blue Fish and First Breath
Action: Aboard First Breath
When: This morning

[As soon as the new arrivals flooded their proverbial gates, Tyrion had been watching every broadcast carefully. He only replied to one - the woman named Hawke deserved to know there were two bars, bless her heart. The rest he merely observed -- looking for his brother, his sister, his father -- any of them would result in the first broadcasted murder.

They all seemed relatively harmless. The ... two Castiels were a bit jarring. The woman named Azula, however --

He spent a very restless night trying to figure out what was it about the woman that bothered him. She was Zuko's sister, and Zuko seemed to be a fairly level-headed youth. Yet when she had spoken to Sansa and Bran?

His hand curled around a screwdriver like it was a knife.

So he put in a broadcast, carefully manipulating it so just the Blue Fish and his own crew could see it (well if the woman was dangerous he wasn't going to let his own people walk into a trap. That was just rude.)]

Good morning, Blue Fish. For those of you whom I have not been introduced to, or know from my old world, I am Tyrion Lannister. [He'll forgo the House Lannister nonsense.] You might know me as the Imp. I am wondering ... this Azula woman, Princess -- what precisely is wrong with her? There is something about her that makes my skin crawl and I simply wish to know if I am being paranoid or if she is an actual threat.

I've been given assurances that as long as we avoid her, we should be safe. I do not know if you know Zuko at all ... but I would avoid speaking of him to others.

[gifted_witch]

I haven't met him, but I will watch my words and avoid trouble.

Private

[tallasaking]

Thank you. I have had a bad feeling about her from the start.

Private

[gifted_witch]

I trust your instincts, I get them too. I'll try to remember if there are any charms or spells that might help with the situation.

Private

[tallasaking]

Lily, you are a treasure amongst the magical folks, and I do not say that lightly for I know Remus.

Private

[gifted_witch]

Remus is a good man, so I take that as a high compliment. If you are worried about your conversations call on me, I can cast a spell which will allow you to speak in secret.

[tallasaking]

...Truly, your magic is amazing. A little terrifying, but amazing nonetheless.

Private

[gifted_witch]

I was scary for me at first too, but once I understood how it worked I realized that like most things it's only as dangerous as the person using it.

Private

[tallasaking]

That is true -- a sword is only dangerous than the person wielding it, and what kind of sword there might be used. [He gave her a tight smile.] I trust you to know what you are doing with yours.

Private

[gifted_witch]

I am especially good at fine, nuanced magic but I have never lacked for power if needed.

Private

[tallasaking]

I feel that this might come in handy sooner than either one of us realize, Lily. I am glad to hear though, that you thought this one through.

Private

[gifted_witch]

Hard to overlook when there is a war looming on the horizon back home.

Private

[tallasaking]

Remus never told me that ...

[Now that was worrisome. He frowns faintly.]

I have seen far too many wars, Lily. I trust you will be careful.

Re: Private

Remus is a wonderfully kind man, but he doesn't like to worry people. I had known him for years and had no idea he was a werewolf until be announced it here.

Private

[tallasaking]

Hold on ... wait a moment. Remus is a were ... wolf? What, precisely, are werewolves?

[gifted_witch]

Yes, he recently told the fleet. A werewolf is a man who turns, involuntarily, into a wolf on the full moon. [She stressed that this was not something he did of his own free will.]

Most become violent beasts but it seems Remus has found a way to temper himself.

[tallasaking]

Fascinating ... Remus has secret depths. Including the part where he apparently turns into a beast.

[People could constantly surprise you.]

[gifted_witch]

There is much more to Remus than most people see, he is kind and caring but not weak. And very talented with magic. Potter and Black always overshadowed him.

[tallasaking]

Of that, I have no doubt. Remus and I share a love of books after all.

Ahhhhh, who are Potter and Black?

[gifted_witch]

James Potter, he's here and Sirius Black his best friend and good friends with Remus. I'm starting to think that maybe they grow up, eventually.

[tallasaking]

I see ... and you don't like them very much? Or you are learning to like them a little more?

[gifted_witch]

They were absolute prats, but they are from home. So maybe I could do with a bit more patience on my part. And maybe, as you say, I could learn to like them more.

[tallasaking]

I find it hard to believe they find you anything less than charming, Lily. It's just your way.

[gifted_witch]

When you say it I can believe it, when Potter does... [Well he was generally doing it in front of a group of his friends and being a show off.]

[tallasaking]

He makes it sound like he's lying, or just trying to court favor to ... ahem. Take advantage of a lady? [He'll be delicate. For her, at least.]
