After seven weeks away, Kalvin Stark and his three men arrive back at Meereen. He is unshaven and dirty, his brown beard thick and unkempt and wild, his hair to his shoulders. He arrives at his room, enters and starts throwing all of his gear into an unused corner of the room, only showing the proper respect for his family sword. "I'm hooome!"

Arania looked up from the book she had taken from the Summer Palace with a start. She hadn't expected him to be back. It seemed too soon. Her mind ran through all the things Tht had happened and the ill feeling returned to the pit of her stomach. Still, she closed the book and set it aside. "Kalvin!" She got to her feet and went to embrace him. "You're so dirty!"

"Well, it didn't go quite as close to the original script as I may have wanted," he comments dryly. "It turns out the most battle-frequent spot in the world is dangerous, who would have guessed?" He embraces her one handed, his dirty beard getting gunk on the top of her head. "Careful, I may have broken my promise on the not getting new scars agreement." As he takes off his clothing to get into the bath, he has bruises seemingly everywhere. "Although getting a dragon flight to the city was a benefit. Quite a ride."

She watched him, going to sit on the side of the tub, cross-legged, to chat. She brushed dirt fro her hair with an expression of distaste. "Dragonflight is incredible, is it not? To see for miles, and all the lights of the city like mere pinpricks below." She smiled at him. "Now, tell me everything! How did you come to be so bruised and covered in filth?" She winced just looking at him, glad that the worst from er tangle with Amelia had faded already.

"Well, it's war down there, and the Ghiscari broke through a line while I was there. It became a matter of kill or be killed, then. They had a few thousand Dothraki mercenaries, fortunately that was all. I killed about eight, but they got their licks in." He gets into the tub, wincing as the hot water soaks his body. "You got to ride the dragon, too? Incredible, yes, that's the word. Not with wounds though," he chuckled.

"Well, I am glad you're all in one piece." She bit her lip, eyes downcast. She sat quietly for a moment. "So what is your opinion? Shall we ally with the Targaryens of New Valyria?"

"I think so. They're good sorts, overall. Prince Aenys and his brother Valaerys can fight like demons, for true." He looks at her, noting her muted responses. "Well, Arania, come help me wash this dirty body off!" After a moment. "What's wrong?"

She looked up at him again. "Oh...well Amelia came back, from the Dothraki Sea. She's left again, already, but she had news. Mentioning the Dothraki mercenaries reminded me. Apparently, Vhagus killed all the Khals, and has united most of the khalasars into one huge army...on top of that he killed the Queen mother and now the black dragon is controlled by him." She said it all in one breath. Of course that was not the only news she had, but...it was a start.

Kalvin looks serious a moment. "I see. He controls them ALL? ...Maybe we should go see if wants allies, instead...get in here! I've not seen you naked in near two months! That's a month and twenty-nine days too long." He starts rinsing off his beard in the hot fountain.

She got up, and slowly started undressing. "I don't think they would be good allies. Amelia was very upset by something that had happened while she was there. She left here, you know. After..." she paused a moment. "After we told Sirius what had happened with his brother. Went further east, with Danya." She was naked then, and got into the hot water with him. "She mentioned Asshai."

"With what gold? I know for damn sure she didn't get any from me or Dustin...she must be insane. I'm not sure her judgment can be trusted. She probably tried to fuck him and failed," he sighed. "And she took Danya with her? Gods damn it." He started a lather to work into his beard and mustache. "Damn it all, I left my razor over on that table, can you grab it really quickly?"

"I like the beard," Arania said half-heartedly. Perhaps that was it. Perhaps Amelia was insane, and perhaps that would be how it all could be explained. "Kalvin...something else happened. Amelia did try to seduce him. And I was there too." She winced, pre-emptively, frightened of how he would react, but knowing it had to come from her.

"Razor, pleasee...wait, what? You were there?" He turns to her, looking like a confused Santa Claus with the white lather in his beard. "Why were you there?"

And there was no going back now. The words all came out in a torrent. "She and I went to tell him of what had happened in the Dothraki Sea. I didn't know, I swear. I didn't know what she wanted to do. But then I was naked, and then he had us...doing things...and then...we fought. We...there was another man, horrible, frightening, piteous. He hurt me, Kal...he hurt me." She wrapped her arms around herself, wishing she wasn't naked. She wished she wasn't saying these things. More than anything, she wished none of them had happened.

"Things? Wait, what sorts of...things? Some man hurt you, while you were naked?" His voice goes from confused, to angry, to angrier, then to a sort of calm that is somehow more frightening then the anger.
