Ivar narrows his eyes, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "Who am I?" he repeats, voice dripping with condescension. "I am Ivar the Sellsword. And youโd do well to remember that name. Now, who are you again? Someone who doesn't know when to be careful, I imagine."
The soft sound of footsteps on the sand drew his attention. His lips curved into a faint smirk as he spotted a figure approaching.
Ivar tilted his head, his smirk deepening. โRight on time, milady,โ he called, his voice carrying over the rhythmic crash of the waves.
The waves lapped lazily at the shore, the salty breeze tangling with Ivarโs hair as he stood beside his horse, the faint scent of blood wafting in the air. His piercing blue eyes were fixed on the distant cliffs of Casterly Rockโฆ
@GoldForBlood Personal way but what was more personal then six large bags of gold? Well her very being.. he was easy on the eyes enough but this was something that she had to think about carefully. Watching the sellsword walk away she smiled before turning her heels to leave the tavern.
Ivar adjusted the reins in his hand, stroking the horseโs neck absently as he scanned the horizon. He had sent word that he would arrive at this exact moment, and if there was one thing he could count on, it was that a Lannister always kept their word.
"As for my price? I want a share of the spoils when this war of yours is won. Lands, gold, whatever it is you take. And in return, my sword and my skill will see you to your victory."
Ivar chuckles softly at the correction, amusement flickering in his eyes. He gives a small, mocking bow, clearly not taking offense. "King Stark," he repeats, letting the title roll smoothly off his tongue with a sly grin.
โHe saw the confidence in his eyes it only made him even more condidentโ
King Stark
โhe said to correct him and let things clear. Not anger just confidenceโ
I do need good men but war is expensive and I don't know if I could pay your price. But go on, tell me what you want
Straightening up, he meets Robbโs confident gaze with one of his own.
"War is expensive, aye," he agrees, voice low and casual, "but what's more costly is not having the right man at your side when the blade falls." He steps closer, his swagger never wavering.
He shrugs nonchalantly. "I offer my services because Iโm passing through. Could be your enemies wouldnโt expect a sellsword in your midst. Or maybe youโve got a task better suited to someone who doesnโt play by the rules. Itโs up to you." His smirk returns. "But my offer stands."
Ivar chuckles, his grip on the sword loosening as he steps a little closer. "Oh, Iโve no doubt your people can handle whatever comes your way. Elves, centuries of wisdom and skillโI'm not here to insult that."

โ โ the elvenking remains silent , hands clasped before him . a raise of a brow at the mention of business , though he still does not speak .
eyes turning briefly to the hand resting on the sword , turning back to him at his words . seeming to -
He tilts his head, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "But even the best warriors can benefit from a bit of... outside help now and then. Sometimes, a strangerโs blade cuts through problems that arenโt so easily dealt with by those bound to the kingdom."
โThat should wake him up,โ he says to himself, prodding the fire to make sure the meat cooks evenly.
His mind briefly flickers back to Ayenโs earlier wordsโropes,and blindfolds. He chuckles softly, shaking his head as he waits.
Hours later Ivar steps into the clearing outside the hut, his muscles slightly sore but satisfied from the hunt. The weight of the young deer under his arm is nothing compared to the bear pelt draped behind him, the memory of the struggle still fresh in his mind.
โฆthe sharpness of his blade making quick work of the meat.
After a few minutes, the smell of roasting venison wafts through the air. Ivar wipes his hands clean, glancing toward the hut with a knowing grin.
