Who: Tyrion Lannister
Broadcast: Video, all ships at space
Action: Aboard the First Breath
When: Todayish

[Tyrion's turned on the camera and is rubbing his face furiously. He looks ... tired. More healthy, but tired. The smile he grants everyone is still, very tired. Yet it is there, and when he speaks it's with the same drawl that Tyrion is known for.]

Here we are, in a three planet system where apparently, everything is fine.

[One. Eyebrow. Raises.]

I am taking even bets on how long it lasts.

[A wry smile.]

In any case, I plan on doing a fair bit of trade here, so anyone who has things they wish to sell but think they will be duped? Let me know. I can haggle for you, for a low, low price of one credit per transaction. Because who does not love shoving responsibility onto someone else, eh?

Do you not trust me to do my own haggling, my lord?

( Sansa will let him do it if he wishes, because he’s good at it, but she feels like poking a bit of fun for now. )

[tallasaking]

Honestly, I was thinking that we want to leave the planets something left in their coffers, my lady.

[He stated simply with a glint of his eyes.]

[theladyofwinterfell]

Well, I could use more clothes. I didn't buy nearly enough in the last system. Would you like to be my shopping partner, Tyrion?

( Sansa gives him a smile, hoping to coax him out. )

I might come along, if you don't mind the company. Could learn a thing or two about bartering.

[She's done alright here so far, but she has the feeling she could learn a lot from Tyrion.]

[postocular]

I give it until we're about ready to leave when hell breaks loose.

You look like someone who could use a vacation. [Possibly from your own mind.] Come play with me.

[universal_charm]

Hmmm, I feel like there's a catch in there somewhere - for that low, low price.

[tallasaking]

I would be pleased to be a shopping partner.

[He gave her a deep bow.]

Re: video

[tallasaking]

I would be happy to give you some lessons. I shall teach you to form a deal, as you have taught me how to shoot a gun. Expertly and with extreme prejudice.

Re: video;;

[tallasaking]

I shall put that down on a marker. Seems it more likely than nothing.

Re: video

[tallasaking]

... you know I shall always be happy to play with you. What is the game?

Re: video;

[tallasaking]

Yes, one credit, naturally.

[theladyofwinterfell]

( Sansa gives him a deep smile in return. It's much deeper than she's smiled in a long, long time and probably only the appearance of her lady mother would cause her to have a smile this wide. Still, she has a role to play for the Atroma. Surely lord Tyrion can understand that. )

Well, I will be the best attended woman in the Fleet, won't I?

[postocular]

If what's happened before is how it's going to go down, it lines up. The cannibal planet was bad all around, but things got worse at the end.

[tallasaking]

[Well, there you have it. That was a smile he had not seen in quite some time. He offered her a deep smile in turn. He bowed again.]

... and now, I shall have to dress accordingly for such a compliment.

[tallasaking]

It is quite true. So a planet system that is already starting off simple ... will mathematically turn out to be worse than possible.

[poisontippedcure]

[Somebody else willing to the boring stuff for her? Color this adventurer impressed. Rose will gladly pay one credit if it means dealing with fewer people.]

[Not that haggling has anything to do with why she's responding to the post, of course.]

This seems like a safe bet. My personal money is on things falling apart when we least expect them to, as soon as we think that we're in the clear.

[theladyofwinterfell]

Well, I can't imagine what you have in store for that. Do you make a lot of gold here, Tyrion?

( He's always been good with money so Sansa cannot imagine that Tyrion does poorly here in the Fleet. Still, she's curious all the same. )

[kill_switch]

Sounds like my kind of lesson. When do you want to head out?

[crowkiller]

Is there a reason for things not to be fine?

[He hasn't been here as long as most, but hey 2/3 systems have a been tame so far.]

Re: video

[tallasaking]

How does tomorrow work for you?

[tallasaking]

Aaaah ye olde - 'We thought we were out of the proverbial woods until the woods turned out to be evil spirits that attacked us from behind.'

I shall put that down as a definite possibility/

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion exhales .... slowly.]

You are new here, this I know. So ... let me explain to you Atroma's Law. If it is peaceful, it is not profitable.

[tallasaking]

I make a lot of gold whereever I go, Sansa. It is the benefit of having a quick tongue and a face that people can trust.

[He waggles his eyebrows at her. People trusting a Lannister? Is hilarious.]

[theladyofwinterfell]

Yes, a very trustworthy face. I often trust it.

( Sansa gives him an amused look, brow arching a bit. )

Will you meet me planetside for shopping?
