Who: Asha Greyjoy and errybody
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Paisley
When: Today
[ Asha Greyjoy stands in a nondescript hallway aboard the SS Paisley. She is not so foolish as to think there are not those who would harm her among the fleet and would rather not fight in close quarters, if it should come to that. For now, she leans against a wall, unflinchingly gazing into the communicator, more comfortable than curious. Once sharply cropped black hair falls unevenly about her face, too long and shaggy for her liking. Though she would prefer to wear the ship-issued clothing, she dons her weathered, salted leather for this broadcast. It is important that she bear the look of her people when lost in space.
However, she has added her security issued automatic weapon to her ensemble, holstered where her axe once glinted in the light. ]
[ Lazily — ] I believe I’ve arrived in perfect time to represent my people. [ a pause (for the drama tbh). Is this a reference to Tyrion’s broadcast or her brother’s misadventures? Both, perhaps. Evidently, she did some back-reading before announcing her presence. She tilts her chin up, as if challenging her viewers. ]
I am Asha of House Greyjoy, daughter of the kraken, Captain of the Black Wind, and [ an abrupt laugh. ] wife of an axe. [ not some rusted man of the Crow Eye’s choosing. ] Now, I mean no disrespect to my dear captain of the SS Paisley when I mention my titles. You have my service and loyalty, Captain Russo, if only out of respect for the institution of a ship. [ Which is mostly true, if partly for diplomacy’s sake. ] I introduce myself as such so that I may not lie by omission. Secrets in close quarters make for silly disputes, don’t you think? And I’ve nothing to hide. [ She shrugs. ]
On the Iron Islands, we must drown before we may live. And if death has already taken me once, why should I fear life among the stars? Or the animals twinkling with them, at that. [ Shout out to her fellow Westerosi. ] I will not bore you with history, but if you should like to learn more of the reavers of isles, who trade as well as take, who travel to the farthest reaches of our realm but return to the stony shores because none but us survive there, well — [ Her face splits into a grin. It is an easy thing to be happy when you’ve escaped cannibals and burnings and your only worries are green men. ] — I’ll oblige you, provided you regale me with tales of your own adventures. A fair trade. [ because she isn’t some godless pirate please and thank you!! ] I’ve need of drink and laughter after enduring snow and somber company.
[ Her smile thins into an unreadable expression, certainly more weary than before but too neutral to truly judge. ]
— And Theon, it is time we meet again.

[Tyrion rubs his beard at this new arrival - who might just be on his list of people from Westeros who did not want to make him drink himself into a stupor.
He tips a bow.]
Greetings you, Captain. I trust you will be something of a more - calming effect on your younger brother?
[Seriously, Asha. Calm him the heck down.]
no subject
A little brother is always a little brother, as you well know. [ And little brothers are always unruly, is the innocent implication, though she says as much to ensure he knows that she recognizes him as Tyrion Lannister, and mayhaps to imply she's up to date on history as well. Tyrion has surely become the chief, rebellious younger brother of Westeros, after all, particularly given his dip into kinslaying. But if she judges him for the rumours, she shows no evidence of it in her easy smile. ] And he's my little brother, to be sure.
[ Which could be a warning to those speaking ill of him as much as an assurance that she'll handle him. ]
no subject
Yes, but some little brothers are more of a handful than others. [He acknowledges his identity, and that arch of his eyebrow is to remind Asha that whatever his reputation might be, killing Tywin is the crime he has owned. One he does not fear to own.]
I have a hard time believing that, Captain. [And he'll be sure to keep calling her Captain - a nod of respect to her rank and not her noble status.] You seem to hold a sensibility he lacks.
[There is a pause, before he puts in a surprisingly easier tone. One would almost think he was trying to spare Theon.] He has done much to ruin his own reputation. I can hope your sensibility is something that shall rub off, and is not just in the blood?
[Even when he doesn't like the young man -- he's clearly broken.]
no subject
If her laugh comes less easy, it is only because she grows weary of the politicking that talk her brother requires. Calling her Captain is wise, at least, but the topic remains a treacherous choice. ]
[ simply: ] He is blood of my blood, Theon Greyjoy, son of the kraken, prince of the Iron Islands. [ He must be, for her to invalidate the kingsmoot. And she must claim him openly. You have to know your name. She has to ensure he knows it, if he is to survive. ] My sensibility comes from my mother — and he was deprived of her, just as I was deprived of all my brothers. Hope as you wish, Lord Tyrion. He shall not be deprived of me again.
[ Whether he likes it or not, and all those here best remember he no longer stands alone. ]
no subject
Well, Captain Greyjoy, your brother, prince of the Iron Islands, has all of your pride. [And none of your sense, does not need to be said.] I am glad that you are going to be with him, no matter what.
[He won't be going after Theon.] I hope you take care of him. [Because Tyrion did not want to, Asha.]
no subject
She has no idea where Tyrion fits in all this, either. A hint of a smile emerges as she unabashedly in appraises him. ]
And who takes care of you, Lord Tyrion?
no subject
Oh, I take care of myself, Captain Greyjoy. [Comes his smooth reply.] It seems to have worked out well so far. However, I am always looking for friends to share a drink and a game of cyvasse with.
no subject
[ a note of fondness sneaks slips into her voice. ] I've only ever played cyvasse with my Nuncle Rodrik, and I fear he let me win. [ her smile returns. ] I hope you won't indulge me so.
no subject
[His lips quirk at the edges.] Not even a little bit.
