Dacey Mormont

Jaime was the first to step off the ship and immediately made his way to the armored woman. Even adorned with plate and mail, the heir to Bear Island was an attractive woman. Jaime was only a few inches taller than the Northern woman, yet her face was feminine and eyes full of steady determination. The Lannister held in a smirk as he observed her startling beauty that her helmet was unable to hide. Unfortunately, the rest of her body was hidden by the armor, but the Kingslayer had high hopes for what laid beneath.

“Welcome to Bear Island, Ser Jaime Lannister.” Dacey offered with the slightest nodding of her head as Jaime came to stand before her.

“I appreciate the warm welcome, Lady Mormont.” Jaime returned and made no attempt to treat the woman as he would a noble lady. Dacey didn’t seem the type for unnecessary flattery, so Jaime focused on what he was used to, “You wear that armor well, my Lady.”

Gesturing for the Southern knight to follow her, Dacey answered, “I had it custom made after my last set was damaged.”

“By Wildlings or pirates?” Jaime guessed, as they walked towards a pair of waiting horses.

Dacey seemed to smile at the memory as she replied, “Pirates. We received word that a group had been plaguing the Northern coast and prepared a trap for them. Bastards put up a decent fight, but they threw down their arms after I gutted their leader.”

Jaime nodded approvingly at the description, “I almost envy you. It has been too quiet in the West as of late. I hardly have a chance to use my sword anymore.”

Dacey gave the Lannister a surprisingly charming smile and said, “Is that why you’ve set off on your little adventure? To use your sword again?”

‘In more ways than one’ Jaime thought to himself, but he answered, “If some bandits are stupid enough to make the mistake, perhaps, but really business is my priority.”

“My mother is eager to speak with you.” Dacey turned her attention back to the earth road that was leading towards the holdfast of House Mormont. “There will be a small banquet after we arrive and then she will receive you in her solar to discuss your business.”

Feeling a little bold, Jaime mentioned, “I hope you will be joining us, my Lady.”

Dacey had no response, but Jaime felt her eyes on him as they rode and she seemed to be fighting off a grin.
