It's a wonder that with so much traffic that the ports are in any sort of order. But things flow smoothly so that people can get paid (and laid).

King Harren's Revenge pulls into the port, alone again as it had often been before Killion's return home. The rest of the fleet had been left in the care of King Euric, who was to keep a respectable distance. Its hull sat low in the water, filled with casks of Arbor Red and Gold, gifts for the Lyseni. Prince Killion Greyjoy, Lord Captain of the Iron Fleet, disembarked. He felt odd walking on the harbor of Lys in peace, but strange times necessitate strange bedfellows. He requested an audience with the ruler of Lys, using the time waiting wisely to take in the sights Lys was famed for.

Uhtred Farwynd of the Lonely Light, Captain of the Iron Titans walked alongside his Prince, a alert eye out on these docks. The ironborn made little friends in the free cities, and poison was the chief method of choice for the Lyseni. He was dressed once again in his grey garb, the chain underneath hidden. This was how he had dressed in the free cities, intimidating but hidden beneath a grey cloak.

A bald man with a twirly mustache takes note of the request for audience. He asks if an interpreter would be required and if they had any gifts to present. The man notes it was custom to bring the Prince at least a token gesture of friendship when requesting an audience. After that was answered the men are escorted to the Palace.
(I'll tag in the palace)

Killion motioned to the thralls unloading the casks of Arbor wine, which had likely become a much more rare and precious commodity since the Ironborn had taken the island. He indicates they will indeed need a translator and follows the man to the palace.

After the wild parties and revels of the last few days, Uhtred wakes up in his ship with a splitting hangover. He shuffles out, letting his first mate Isoph handle the readying of the ship for leaving Lys. The fleet was sailing soon.

Several female guardswomen in the Lysian military uniform seek out Uhtred and the Prince. They inform them that Prince Lucian would like to have a conference before the fleets sail.

Uhtred sends word that the Prince would be most welcome aboard his vessel, as it would be only proper as they had been at his hospitality before. He'll have men set up tables and the good silverware on deck, a small meal and drink going along with any good meeting.

Killion arrived with his father, Saim, and a few other prominent captains. If he was annoyed at being summoned to a captain's ship, it did not show on his face...or at least it did not stand out compared to the annoyance from the pounding in his skull from the night before.

Lucian arrived with more of the same female guards. He was intrigued by the ships that the Iron Born used.
Some extra food was brought along as gifts and for snacking.
"Greetings," the prince said to everyone. "Thank you for meeting on such short notice."

Uhtred bows to the Prince as he boards the vessel, and his crew move to accommodate the extra captains that the king brought along. Luckily Entel had been somewhat of a stickler for comfort, so there was actually a small pavilion that could be set up on deck.

Lord Drumm arrived. He nodded politely to both princes.

"There some business to be settled before we set sail?" Killion inquired, eager to be off. "Would be a shame to waste first light and a fair wind."

"Indeed," Lucian said, agreeing with what the man said in principle, though his attitude showed no sense of hurry.
"There was a matter brought to my attention that needs discussing. There is some sort of pact between the Volans and Myr."

"More ships to capture and more chum for the sharks then." Killion replied simply, with as much concern for this development as Lucian seemed to have for hurrying. "Though I had thought Lys and Myr were the closest of bedfellows?"
