Saim looks at her. "The dragons? Good fighters; they have hired me three times. Pay with much gold, really. And this." He taps a Valyrian dagger on his belt. "You know King Sirius, then? did he also go to Westeros?"

"I do not; Prince Aenys and his sisters Tristessa and Daena came to visit Westeros," Amelia informed him, enjoying her wine slowly. "I believe the latter two even took a liking to my friend, Prince Benjen Stark," She added humourously with a quiet voice, giggling after.

"They take a liking to many, begging your pardon," he chuckles. "but they aren't bad sorts, for the most part." He looks at her with obvious, but polite, interest.

"Then I am sure the Prince can call himself lucky, in a way," Ami said, giggling again. "This wine is doing bad things to me, Master Saim."
Danya rolled her eyes.
"So when was your last engagement, if I may ask?"

Saim looks pleasantly at Danya. "Why for battles it were three months ago...for women it ended two weeks after that. Lovely girl, Rima Seaworth...allergic to strawberries. anyone who cannot appreciate this wine cannot appreciate me."

"And where is the poor girl now?" Danya asked, with a raised eyebrow. "Hopefully not in some field, picking strawberries,"
"I am sorry," Ami butted in. "My friend did not wish to insinuate you had done something terrible with the girl!"

Saim giggled. "I could never hurt a woman. She went back to Stanniston straightaway, with double her dowry returned for the insult to he rfamily."

"How unfortunate for her," Amelia chirped, finishing her wine. "But lucky for her family! As you can see, I appreciate your wine very much!"

"I see that," he said, pleased. "I should not take up your whole day, unless of course you seek an engagement." He winks. "Is there anything else you need to know?"

Amelia giggled again, prompting another eye-rolling from Danya. "Do you know if the oceans between here and Volantis are safe? We would not wish to run into trouble."

Amelia shivered. "I have heard of his misdeeds, Master Saim. "With any luck we will not run into him!"

"If your friend wants a nice ship all her own, and safe passage to Volantis...well, girls know where to find Hangran Saim." He hands them one last bottle. "Be safe, now."

Amelia grinned and held the bottle. "Thank you again, Master Saim! I will not forget your kindness and will make visiting you again a top priority of mine." She smiled as they returned to the other ship.

Volantis is reached after another three weeks, the city huge and busy, the port unlike anything Amelia has ever seen before. The ship docks, desperately needing resupply.
