I wandered about the markets of Mareen in a daze. Bags of coins heavy against my hips, twin blades concealed against bare thighs my only comfort. My mind wandered to Tyrion. On our last moments together. The way he watched that woman. The way she seemed to beckon him in a way that I never could. I should have never left with him. Should have never fallen in love. I pushed the thoughts away with a grunt of disgust, ducking into the nearest door, praying for a tavern.

Laughter and the distinct sound of moaning greeted me, as I removed the hood of my cloak and observed the brothel around me, side stepping a drunkard's attempt at conversation, to make my way over to an empty table.

"Hello." A feminine voice purred in my ear, delicate fingers trailed along my arm. I looked up to meet curious blue eyes, blonde hair trailing along a slender pale face.

"Can I help you?" I shrugged away from her touch, feeling cornered as an attractive redhead took the other vacant seat.

"My friend and I were wondering, if you are a client or a new girl?" The blonde had a wicked smile, and a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"I say definitely not the new girl. To much violence in her eyes." The red haired beauty laughed as she trailed a finger along my cheek. A frown pulled at parched lips as I fought to not grab her hand. They may have information. Remember why you're here.

"I'm looking for information. On a rebellion, possibly led by the wealthy." The blonde's smile widened, sitting up straighter.

"What's in it for us?" A heavy sigh fell from my lips as I dropped a satchel, pregnant with coins, onto the dirty tabletop. She snatched it up with ravenous eyes, nodding to her friend.

"The Sons of Harpy. No names, but a man came in a week ago bragging about a new gang. They wear golden mask. Word is that they plan on launching some sort of attack." The fighting never ends.

"I'd like to offer the two of you jobs. Be my ravens. Report all information you find about the sons to me."

" Will there be more of this?" The blonde asked, patting the bulge at her thigh.

"More if you get the right information."

"I'm Pearl, this is Ruby." She introduced with a wink, I chuckled despite myself.

"I'll be back soon. Until we meet again ladies." I finished, giving up on the drink, before leaving.
