As Tyrion walked his way to the Small Council Chambers, he stopped to chit-chat with Boba and Girorn, who were accompanying him.
"So what do you think of the Capitol?" asked Tyrion.
"Seen better" said Boba.
"The smell is nauseating" said Girorn.
"...I think you would love Stannis, he hates this place too. Gods knows why he wants to rule here" said Tyrion.
"There are many flaws in the defense in this city" said Girorn "If the Empire ever invaded this place, it would fall in a fortnight"
"Luckily the Empire isn't here" said Boba.
"Nor do I want them to be here" said Tyrion. Boba told him about the powerful Empire. An old man that was worth 1,000 soldiers and can produce lightning. A man with many fake limbs yet can still fight and kill twenty skilled warriors at once. An army of men that can be made in a week. And a weapon that could destroy an entire planet. Tyrion wanted nothing to do with such a dictatorship. Boba does work for them every once in awhile, but apparently he clashed with them just as much
"So do you think this sister of yours will welcome us with open arms?" asked Boba.
"Please. The people my sister loves is Jaime and her children" said Tyrion.
"So that's a no"
"Yep"
"It doesn't matter whether she wants us or not. We will serve despite anything she says" said Girorn.
"So Boba" said Tyrion "What do you think of our friend with the hands?"
"If your asking me if he was human, he's not. My scanner was silently beeping when we got near your repulsive nephew"
"Know what he is?"
"Never seen anything like him"
"Ah, were here"
.
"Any word from the Riverlands?" asked Cersei.
"Ser Jaime is still with the Northern Army and is kept under guard at all times. As for Robb Stark, he's won three battles already. With Sao Feng and his pirates, it would be hard to assault them by sea. And I am told that Robb Stark fights with a sellsword name Orion, who is said to be a powerful sword user" said Varys.
"But with Pirates and sellswords fighting for him, Stark's army will look more and more like a traitor's army by the minute" said Slynt.
"Any word from Dorne or the Erie?" asked Grand Maester Pycelle.
"No word, both Lord Martell and Lady Arryn have stayed neutral" said Varys.
"Good" said Cersei.
More would of been said, but suddenly whistling sprung up from somewhere, in tune with the Rains of Castamere. Suddenly Lord Tyrion came into the room followed by his outer world companions. Slynt and Pycelle scooted back into their seats when the saw the Trandoshan, Littlefinger tried to look Boba Fett in the eyes under his helmet, and Varys just stayed silent, staring at the two. Only Cersei wasn't shocked. She was staring at Tyrion with a deep loathing.
"Don't get up" said Tyrion as Boba and Girorn found two empty chairs and adjusted themselves in "More ravishing than ever big sister" said Tyrion as he kissed his sister's cheek, something she obviously didn't like "War agrees with you. Forgive the interruption. Carry on" said Tyrion as he took the remaining empty seat.
"What are you doing here?" asked Cersei.
"Its been a remarkable journey" said Tyrion as he relaxed himself in his seat "I pissed off the edge of the Wall. I slept in a Sky Cell. I fought with the Hill Tribes. I befriended a cutthroat or two" he nodded his head towards Boba "I was welcomed into a Trandoshan clan" he nodded his head towards Girorn "So many adventures. With so much to be thankful for" said Tyrion as he poured himself some wine.
"What are you doing here, this is the Small Council" said Cersei.
"Yes well, I do believe the Hand of the King is welcomed at all Small Council meetings" said Tyrion.
"Our father is Hand of the King"
"Yes, but in his absence" Tyrion simply pulled out a sheet of paper and gave it to Varys. Varys unwound the paper and started reading it.
"Your father has named Lord Tyrion to serve as Hand in his stead while he fight" said Varys.
"Mind if I ask who these charming companions are?" asked Littlefinger, who was sitting next to Fett.
"Ah, of course. Allow me to introduce Boba Fett, Mandalorian Bounty Hunter and now Master of Ships. And Clan Chief Girorn Fess, who will be serving as Master of Laws" said Tyrion.
"You have no right to name a sellsword and a creature as council members" said Cersei.
"Why, should I have left the position to Renly and Stannis? Boba Fett has sailed with ships for nearly twenty years. And Girorn lives by honor, a perfect trait for Master of Laws"
"Where did you happen to find these brutes?" asked Petyr.
"Forests"
"How do we know that that parchment isn't forged" said Cersei.
"Because I saw him sign it" said Boba.
"And father has better things to do than to fix your mistakes" said Tyrion.
"I have made no mistakes" said Cersei.
"...Boba, how many mistakes has my sister made?" asked Tyrion.
"Letting Ned Stark escape, forcing this Barristan guy to resign, letting this idiot become a Lord" he pointed his finger at Janos "Allowing Renly to leave the Capitol unnoticed, killing all of Stark's servants, killing Robert Baratheon's bastards, the abuse of Sansa Stark, making some guy called Lancel become a knight, bribing the city watch, making Joffrey's dog a Kingsguard, letting these three asses live, and allowing Joffrey to run amok like a gundark in a womp rat's"
"So that's twelve mistakes you've made" said Tyrion.
"Are you trying to be smart?" asked Cersei.
"No, I'm being logical. The Mad King made the mistake of trusting father, Lord Greyjoy made the mistake of rebelling, and Robert made the mistake of not watching you carefully. Wars can end horribly if you make just one mistake, and you've made twelve"
"If your so smart, why don't you stay on the battlefield and let father come serve Hand" said Cersei.
"This argument is tiresome" said Girorn "I understand why you wanted my services Lord Tyrion. This council is full of nothing but idiots and flatterers"
"I'm offended" said Littlefinger playfully.
"Doesn't sound like it" said Fett.
"Your quite right Girorn. Lets end this argument and continue this meeting" said Tyrion "So what are we discussing?"
"We are currently discussing Ser Jaime's captivity in the Riverlands" said Varys.
"Good, freeing Jaime should be our first concern" said Tyrion, not wanting the brother that looked beyond the fact that he was a dwarf.
"It is fortunate that we've have discussed a way to free your blood-brother, Lord Tyrion" said Girorn.
"And what would that be?" asked Cersei coldly.
"Like you, Catelyn Stark loves her children" said Tyrion "We might have lost her husband, but we still have two of her children"
"One"
"...One?"
"Arya, the little beast. She disappeared"
"How, in a puff of smoke. You let one Stark escape from the Black Cells, and you let another one escaped from under your nose. How it is to be the disappointing child" said Tyrion as he took a sip of wine.
"...Thirteen" said Boba.
.
Orion was currently having a discussion with Robb and Theon.
"So do you honestly think it would be a good idea to join up with this Balon guy?" asked Orion.
"My father would make a great addition to our army" said Theon.
"I'm willing to put my trust in Theon" said Robb.
"Yes, but Theon isn't the Lord of Pyke. Balon Greyjoy is. A man who hates Ned Stark and the Baratheons. A man who rebelled once. A man who rules over cold warriors. Forgive me Theon, but we can't trust your father"
"...Then what do we do?" asked Theon.
"...We could still send an envoy to the Iron Islands, just not you. Your the only thing that keeps Balon from attacking us"
"So who do we send to treat with Lord Balon?" asked Robb.
"We could send Sao Feng. He's a pirate lord and would know how the Ironborn work"
"Alright, I'll tell Lord Feng about this when I see him" said Robb.
"So what do we do about our funding problem?" asked Theon.
"The Iron Bank and the other banks are loyal to the crown. We'll have to rely on whatever the Riverlands and North can muster" said Robb.
"That isn't much" said Theon.
"But it's all we got" said Orion.
"Lord Stark" said a soldier who appeared from the tent's entrance "A building appeared in one of the burnt fields overnight"
"How does a building appear out of nowhere?" asked Theon.
"Shit" said Orion.
Robb and Theon turned towards Orion.
"Do you know something about this?" asked Robb.
"Yes but I can't say"
"I thought you were loyal to me" said Robb.
"I am, but I'm loyal to my master too, and I have to keep his secrets"
"I trusted you with dealing with Walder Frey. Please at least tell me for the sake of a bond of trust" said Robb.
"...Forgive me Aslan. Fine. But after we investigate this"
"Fair enough" said Robb. He, Theon, and Orion left the tent and went to the burnt fields near where they made camp. Once there was nothing but burnt fields from when the Mountain came. But now a giant building was smack dabbed in the middle of it.
"I don't believe it" said Orion.
"What?" asked Theon.
"This is Gringotts"
"Gringotts? Is that good?"
"It could be if we play our cards right. Gringotts is a bank"
