(Location: Salladhor Hideout)
(Time: Evening)
(3rd person)
After leading Jon, Sansa and Joy through the tunnels that are located under the house, the trio finally reached the end which was a massive underground chamber that was clearly a cove as it had a small body of water which led out to the open sea.
Salladhors ship and crew could be seen though from the looks of it the crew seemed to be small and incomplete.
"Welcome my friends to my home, I'm afraid that I've recently had to switch from my lavish estate to a much more humble domicile" He says ceremoniously as he thrusts his hands out to either side in an exaggerated manner.
"Why're you all living in this... spacious place" Sansa asks awkwardly as she tries to be polite about it.
"There is no need to disguise your words little lady, we are all aware of what we have been reduced to" Salladhor states with a grin as he looks at Sansa.
"I think it's marvellous, are we going to be moving in with you, oh I do think me and Jon should have our own room but I am happy to share with Sansa too if there is not enough space" Joy says with excitement still attached to Jon's back.
"Joy we have our own ship, though it seems pointless now, we came here to find a crew maybe a few navigational charts but seems we won't be so lucky" Jon states with resignation as he slumps his shoulders a bit.
Sansa in the meantime was just made aware that Joy was still on Jon's back and narrowed her eyes a bit at the scene "Are you going to get down now we aren't running away anymore" Sansa says to Joy who looks at her for a moment.
"No..." she simply says then goes back to placing her chin on Jon's shoulder, Jon just signs even more 'Why can't I ever meet normal people' Jon thinks to himself.
Salladhor just looks at the scene in mild amusement as he leads them to his ship, outside the ship there are tables and chairs that have been organised to form a small galley.
"It is much nicer eating in the open rather than in the stuffy old ship, come take a seat" He says gesturing with his hands to the seats opposite him as he sits down.
Jon sits down on the stool, Joy finally gets off of his back and takes the seat next to him not before dragging it as close as possible to him so she can continue leaning on his shoulder, no longer surprised at Joys antics Jon just accepts her behaviour and turns the pirate in order to get some answers.
"Why are you guys hiding out here and what the seven hells is going on" Jon simple says believing those questions are broad enough to get some answers.
"Ah my friend that is simple, you see while I was not the Pirate King before the one we are blessed with now, that was by choice, you see I am a free spirit I'm not suited to growing fat upon a golden throne with people lining up to kiss my arse" Salladhor explains as one of his crew being cups and a bottle of wine around.
"But people do not forget, I am Salladhor Saan that name is respected whether I be a king or a cabin boy, so if I speak people will listen" he continues as he pours everyone a cup of wine and then putting the bottle back down to drink from his cup.
"When the new king came it was a few years after the war in Westeros, what you know as the Greyjoy rebellion, though it was less of a war and more putting down a wild mutt" Salladhor says with a chuckle at the end.
"He came sauntering through the city, he had a menacing ship and a mute crew, he showered the residents with treasures and made wild promises, though some people were sceptical, especially more so when yours truly did not by the act one bit" he continues.
"But what happens here is of little consequence, sometimes I do not return here for the whole year, it is a place I call home but It is more a relaxation home for when Im not raiding" Jon and the rest of the group were listening carefully as they sipped from the Wine, it was one they'd never tried before, Jon looking at the bottle recognised the imprint on the bottle as the summer tongue.
'Not bad, i think I enjoy this more than Dornish red' Jon thinks to himself as he takes another gulp before going back to paying attention.
"Of course when the king died they asked me to become the new one, I declined of course I am not one to be caged, however I did not think that the newcomer would be able to sway the people so easily" Salladhor continued as he poured himself another cup of wine.
"Now can you guess what happened after he became king" He said with a small smile on his face as he looked at the group in front of him.
Jon shook his head and so did Sansa, they could guess that it had something to do with the new laws put in place but they don't know why he ended up in the cave.
"I believe I have it figured out" Joy said lifting her head from Jon's shoulder with a smile on her face. Salladhor gestured for Joy to go ahead and speak.
"Mmm well even if you weren't king from what you've said so far you would not of lost your reputation, so it would've been equal if not to above the new king" Joy explains as she twirls her finger in between the curls of her blonde hair.
"As a king I'm sure having someone with equal sway over the masses wouldn't of made him happy so he'd have to reduce your power" Joh continued with Salladhor just smiling in return.
"Killing you while you're respected wouldn't do as it would be too suspicious, so he would have to ruin your reputation, but what would he do" Joy states though the last part was mostly to herself.
"He framed you for something, not murder no one would care about that, not rape, that's just being a good pirate, what's important to every pirate that would make them think less clearly" Joy continues speaking before her eyes light up.
"Gold! He must've somehow managed to steal gold from over influential people on the island and frame you for taking it, that's the only thing a large group of pirates would all care about"
Joy says with a large smile on her face.
Salladhor looks at her and then with a big smile he claps, Jon and Sansa just look at Joy amazed at how she figured it out so quickly.
"As your blonde friend has said, he managed to steal quite a bit of gold and placed it in my manse, pirates do not think clearly when gold is involved if is one of our flaws" Salladhor states.
"After that the king then pinned a bunch of murders on me, normally they would not be believed but since everyone thought I was a thief they thought I'd murdered other pirates to keep myself from being discovered, they wanted to execute me but I managed to escape, though now I have a skeleton crew and one ship, my gold, my fleet and my home have been taken" He concludes as he can be seen gripping his cup tightly making the wood creak.
"Why not leave, you have a ship and a crew?" Jon asks.
"Even if my heart belongs to the sea, this is still home I may be a pirate but I won't go so far as to dishonour my ancestors by running and letting some upstart pirate king take what was mine" Salladhor says in a serious voice.
"It can't be too bad, all you need to do is wait and eventually they'll all leave, The king did say he was going to a new city" Sansa says in an upbeat tone after gulping from her cup, Sansa isn't used to drinking much so even a small amount from a vintage such as this would affect her.
Salladhor just laughs and slams his cup back down on the table "I'm afraid it isn't that simple little lady" He says his eyes growing more serious as his face turns into a frown.
"What his plan is I don't know, but I do know that this city does not exist, whether he's forcing people into his mines for his own benefit or he has darker intentions I couldn't say but whatever you heard out there is a lie" He continues.
"How can you be sure" Jon asks, but before Salladhor can reply Joy interrupts him.
"It's the statue isn't it?" Joy says with an uncharacteristically serious tone in her voice.
"You are quite the smart one aren't you" Salladhor says with a smile as he looks at Joy.
"What does it have to do with the statue" Sansa asks with Jon turning around to look at Joy awaiting an answer as well.
"It's not supposed to be here, that statue is meant to be in the isle of toads" Joy explains as she faces her young friends.
"It would not have been impossible to transport it, Ships from the far north near Ibben are designed for hunting and dressing leviathans so it would be difficult but not impossible" Jon states, but Joy shakes her head as he isn't seeing the big picture.
"You're right, but it would still be a massive undertaking to bring it all the way here, and for what? To leave for a new city? See it doesn't make sense, there has to be something else going on" Joy explains shocking Jon and Sansa as their eyes light up in realisation.
"It is concerning, the residents of road isle are kept in the pit with the statue, The king said they'd be used as slaves but not once have I seen them leave the pit" Salladhor states adding another layer of mystery to the situation.
"I'm liking this place less and less, we really should get out of here" Jon says mostly to himself.
"What will we do about the lack of crew?" Sansa asks curiously.
"We will have to make do, maybe Arthur and Rhaenys managed to find some people" Jon replies to her though the frown on his face doesn't seem to disappear as he feels worse and worse about the situation.
"Maybe I can help my young friend" Salladhor says with a smile on his face.
"What do you want in return" Jon says not naively believing a pirate would help him for free.
"You see once Salladhor was a rich man, but now he's reduced to living in a cave, if I want bring order back to these isles I'm going to need something from the king" He explains.
"The chest he carries around with him, it's filled with treasures that could buy me 50 ships and the men to sail them, get that for me and I'll sail you anywhere you want" Salladhor explains.
Jon considers this for a moment 'It would be risky to do it but if I went alone then I could be in and out' Jon thinks to himself.
Believing that this would be the easiest way to get back to Westeros Jon agrees, and shakes Salladhors hands.
"I'll accept but on one condition" Jon says as he shakes the pirates hand, suddenly his eyes narrow and the atmosphere changes, Salladhor a man who has seen countless atrocities committed was intimidated by someone not yet a man grown.
"Any Dragon Eggs are mine" Jon states with finality, not caring about a bunch of ornaments Salladhor is quick to agree though he does wonder why the boy would want such useless things.
(Arthur and Rhaneys)
Despite being caught multiple times and having to kill at least a dozen different guards the duo made it to the boat with a fat red priest in tow, Rhaenys immediately looked around and began calling out to check whether Jon and Sansa had made it back to the boat yet.
"Shit they aren't here" Rhaneys says to Arthur as a frown spreads across both of their faces.
"We can't do anything for now, we need to give them more time to return otherwise they'll be in the same situation we find ourselves in" Arthur states sagely trying to get a handle on himself.
"You can feel Jon can you not, can you tell if he's okay" Arthur asks as he walks towards Rhaneys.
"It's complicated, I cant tell what he is feeling only if he's in imminent danger" Rhaneys states as she sits on the edge of the ship.
"That's good then? We know he's safe" Arthur says raising his brow as he does.
"No, it just means he isn't in danger, I would feel it if he was in a duel with someone but if he was being kept prisoner I would not, it is a subtle difference" Rhaneys explains drawing a frown on Arthur's face.
Arthur then approached Rhaneys and made sure to whisper as he did not want Thoros overhearing them.
"What about Vhagar, can you feel him" he asks.
Rhaneys nods "I think Jon has called for him, I feel him getting closer, though he is coming slowly he's still not large enough for long distance travel, I'm not sure when he'll be here a week at most" Rhaneys estimates causing Arthur to Nod his head and step back from her.
"Have you got any wine around here" Thoros asks as he stumbles out of the captains cabin.
"In the pantry next to the galley" Arthur says dismissing the drunken man.
"Somethings not right here" Arthur says to himself as he leans on the side of the ship next to Rhaneys looking out at the pirate haven before them.
"Why would Jon bring Vhagar, surely the threat so great Jon couldn't deal with it" Arthur continues.
"He worries a lot, but mostly for others around him, he probably called for him to make sure Sansa is safe" Rhaneys says.
'Let's hope they get here soon' they both think to themselves.
(Jon and Sansa)
"Here is a map of the island, right now the best way into the keep is through the tunnels, but the only one that accesses the keep directly is in the pit" Salladhor explains as he places an old stained map on the table in front of the group.
"Of course it is" Jon murmurs to himself as he can't help but sigh.
'It's never easy is it' he thinks to himself as he listens to Salladhor explain the rest of the plan.
"On the full moon The king will leave the castle and travel to the pit, it is the only time he ever leaves, no one knows what he does there apart from the fish people and his old crew but they won't be speaking any secrets" Salladho continues.
"It's best you wait for the evening of the full moon to sneak in, then go and acquire the good, then sneak back once he has finished, though you may want to run as he will probably notice what is missing" He concludes.
'If that fails I'll have to kill everyone there' Jon thinks coldly to himself, he doesn't want it to come to that but he can live with killing people like these, there probably isn't anyone innocent on these islands.
"There is one more thing I want from you" Jon asks Salladhor who looks up at him in interest.
"What can I do for you my friend" Salladhor asks
"Take Sansa and Joy to the ship we have outside of the harbour, it shouldn't be but a few miles from here, you could row there" Jon says ignoring the glares of the two girls next to him.
"Very well my friend, however I can see the looks on their faces and I shall retire for the evening" Salladhor says before lifting his hat up in respect and getting up from the table and heading towards the ship.
"Jon! How can you expect me to leave when you're putting yourself in danger like that" Sansa says sternly as she crosses her arms waiting got an explanation.
"I thought it would be a fun little adventure for us three" Joy says sadly as she looks down at the ground.
"Look this will be a lot safer for you if I go alone, I can get in and out no problem and if they try and stop me then I'll show them why that was a bad choice" Jon says as he ignites his hands in violet flames, Joy not having seen this before is mesmerised by the swirling pocket sized inferno and her mouth can be seen opening and her eyes widening.
"You also need to let Arthur and Rhaenys know what is happening, they wouldn't trust Joy if she was sent alone, please I need you to do this for me Sansa" Jon asks with a serious tone extinguishing the flames in his hand, causing Joy to get a small pout on her face.
Finally relenting Sansa nods her head though she still looks conflicted about letting Jon go alone, Joy seems to be inspecting Jon's hand for any powder or tricks that could've created such magic.
Smiling a bit at Joys antics Jon just pats her head drawing a pleased moan from her as he rubs the curls in her hair.
"Come we should her some sleep, Salladhors crew set up a camp for us to use over by the fire pit we should make use of it, Salladhor can take you back to the ship in the morning" Jon says as he grabs Sansas hand and leads her over to it.
Being that there was only one tent they all had to squeeze in together with Jon being in the middle and Sansa to his right and Joy to his left.
Closing his eyes and getting ready to drift off Jon is disturbed by a lot of movement coming from his left hand side, opening his eyes and waiting for his eyes to adjust to the dark he's met with Joy who had managed to pull down her dress and was now more than half naked.
Even though she was the same age as Sansa she seemed to have a much more developed body, her breasts were more than a handful and her waist was slim but her hips went outwards, perfect for bearing children.
Her skin felt smooth on Jon's skin that was exposed and he could not help but harden at the feeling of the half naked girl next to him.
What Jon did not realise though was Joy could see Jon inspecting her body and a small smirk came onto her face as she turned to cuddle into him, resting her exposed leg on his waist brushing against his hardened length Jon let out a tiny groan.
"Mmm is this the part where you take me Jon" Joy whispers as she lightly kisses his neck
"I don't know what you mean" Jon says dumbly as he was too distracted to think of an actual reply.
"Did my silly master forget that he owns me body and soul " Joy whispers as she licks from his neck to ear and begins to suck on his earlobe, the feeling sends shivers down his spine as his cock begins to throb, it doesn't help that she's periodically shifting her soft thighs up and down.
"You k-know w-we only d-did that to s-save you, you're a free woman now" Jon stutters out as he relishes in the pleasure that he's feeling, though trying to summon up the willpower to stop her, Joy then straddles Jon and puts both of her hands on his face and makes him face her.
"Then I choose for you to bend me over and breed me" she simply says while she rubs herself on Jon's length.
Though before anything can happen Sansa seems to moan in her sleep and start shifting, with a smile on her face Joy leans down and kisses Jon on the mouth.
"Maybe not tonight" she says before winking and lying back down next to him.
With his cock about to break through his breeches and his ball aching from being teased Jon can't help but feel a bit relieved as he wouldn't have to explain that he fucked someone to an angry fire throwing Targaryen princess.
