With a few last sad tosses, Jaymes stops, not because he is afraid to get hurt, rather than the man's way of channeling hurt.

The carriage goes a few more minutes, and it stops finally, and Jaymes is picked up by the big outlaw again, and carried inside a building. He feels a chain clasp around his neck, and then his bonds are untied and the mask and gag removed. It is dark wherever he is, but he can see a few flickering candles in a far corner, and the two men. They are masked now. The bigger one nods. "You were right; he is pretty."

Jaymes coughed after quaffing in too much fresh air. His hands instantly shot up to the chain and he fumbled with it in a futile attempt to free himself. "What do you want?" he spat.

It is a beyond futile effort, sadly. The big man grins. "I want you."
The smaller man smacks him. "Boss said he wanted to talk to you, and we figured the best way to get you to come out was use our friend Miller."

Jaymes gave the man a disgusted glance and looked at the smaller one. "Boss? Who is that? And which one of you is Miller?" he snarled.

"Miller? Oh, he was that bloodstain you near slipped on! Useless bastard woulda given us up on accident if he didn't sell us out on purpose! Perfect scapegoat, though; who else would dare act against the mighty Lannister family?"

"You, as it appears," replied Jaymes dryly.

"Well, not us, exactly; we're more like sworn swords to our lord. If we disobey even the gods won't save us." He shrugs. "Not that we're complaining, mind you. Boss's gold is as good as anyone's."

"Who do you work for?" Jaymes asked, leaning his back against the wall to sit up straighter. "I can give you more gold."

"You didn't hear that first part, then. Don't beg; it's pathetic. We work for Cassadar, of course. And friends of his in high places." The big man is silent, licking his lips.

Jaymes looked up at the ceiling, smacking the back of his head against the wall in the process. "Of course you are," he said. "Is this getting anywhere?"

"What? It isn't anything we want from you. Cassadar wants your sister."

Jaymes turned to the man so quickly he snapped his neck. "What did you say?" he asked.

"You're like a big giant coin. He wants to spend it on Joanna. Was that clear enough?"

"No," he said pointedly. "Stay away from my sister!"
