"Thank you much, sir." Hanne says, following the steward. For the rest of the day, Marwin finally washes the battle off of him, gets some nice, fitting clothes on, and gets his hand examined by the doctor. He is given a potion to soothe the pain, and the dead flesh is cut away and stitched up. He wraps the wrist in a tight bandage. As marwin prepares to sleep, he looks in the mirror in his temporary quarters. Before him is a man he didn't recognize, he is significantly skinnier than he once was, and a bushy beard covers his face. Light burn marks paint his forehead from the inital blast. His hair is scraggly and a bit too long for his liking. He reminds himself of an old beggar. He finally decides to lay down and fall asleep. The next morning he is awoken by Tigs. "The king requests your presence in the war room, sir." "Very well." Marwin says, getting up and making his way there.

"The king requests your presence in the war room, sir." "Very well." Marwin says, getting up and making his way there. He is let into the war room by 2 guards, inside the king stands, drinking coffee and eating off of a plate of bacon, toasted bread and eggs. Another plate sits across from him on the table. "Lord Hanne." he says with a certain formality, "I trust you have been well accommodated for."

"Lord Hanne." he says with a certain formality, "I trust you have been well accommodated for." "Very well, sir. What is the state of affairs?" "As of three days ago, the Redfort Army is making preparations to march on Akrivea. Whether they do that without the support of the Westwoods is debatable, I believe Mathias is cocky enough to attempt a siege without them, my advisors disagree. The Caswell Bastard failed to take Three Streams and we're going to pay for that. Luckily the riverlands army is in a state of disarray, so we shouldn't have to worry about them. As of now, the plan is to fortify Akrivea, and wait for the Redforts. I understand you lost many men at Larwick, and the ones you do have you need at home. So I have a proposition for you my lord. We need allies, whether it be from Reaper's March, Tarfield or Winterrun. I'd like to send you on a diplomatic mission to secure an alliance. The Northerners will easily flock to our cause, though I had hoped we wouldn't need them, as they can... complicate things. I'm not so sure how willing Lady Egan will be to join us, seeing as how we've lost two battles already, but I know you to be an expert negotiator, so I believe you can make due. Now Lord Tymber is a hard nut to crack." he chuckles, "The old man is very prideful, and his pride has sure to have taken a hit due to losing Holden, perhaps you can work with that? Tarfield would be the most valuable ally at this time, however I'm not sure if Redfort has gotten his claws in him yet." he looks at a map, "What will it be Lord Hanne?"

"I'll speak the northerners your grace. I believe they may be happy to join us."

"I'll speak the northerners your grace. I believe they may be happy to join us." "As do I Hanne... as do I." he points to the map, "It will be a long, tough voyage, you will go in one ship, sail out of the bay around all the way to Fort Iceclaw, where you will land and travel to Winterun to talk to Jarl Jorunn Skaal. I think he will be sympathetic to our cause. When you have secured an alliance, I need you to help coordinate with the northerners on an attack on Blackwatch. If I know the northerners like I think I do, I sense that they will be prepared for that." he says, "Once Blackwatch falls, I will need you to send a raven to me, and I will return with your next orders. Do you understand everything I've just told you? I am putting a lot of responsibility on you."

"Very good." he says, he wraps his hands together, "I've taken the liberty of having a ship prepared for you. I suggest you leave as soon as possible, it's going to be awhile before we see eachother again Hanne, I hope it's on better circumstances, yes?"

"Ah, I see." he says, they walk to the docks where they landed and see their new ship. It's a small caravel with pitch black sails, perfect for stealth sailing. They board and Marwin is met by a dark skinned man with a shaved head and face, and a gap in his teeth. With a smooth but deep voice the man says, "You must be Lord Hanne, my name is Jax and I'm the captain of this ship. I understand we'll be sailing to Fort Iceclaw in the north?"

The man claps his hands together, "Very good!" he shows him to his quarters on the ship, a small room below deck with a desk and a small bed, it isn't the most comfortable but it's better than where he's been sleeping for the past month. The rest of the crew is made up of about a dozen rough men. Most if not all of them are peasants, however they seem loyal enough to the captain. As Marwin walks back up top deck, he is stopped by a mountain of meat covered in tattoos. He opens his mouth, revealing crooked teeth and says, "Name's Bruiser. Heard the captain reports to you now." he nods, "That means Bruiser reports to you. Anythin' you need, you come to Bruiser. Yeah?"
