He knew all too well that questions would be asked. It was a strange conversation that was going on right now. But still a conversation Larethian wanted to continue. Things could go rather odd. One moment those two wanted to kill each other and the next moment Larethian made him an offer he could probably not refuse. Or perhaps he wanted to refuse but he was just too scared to do so. Not that the boy seemed so impressed.

Larethian turned his body away from kaz for a moment while filling another glass of the wine. Suggesting if Kaz wanted another drink as well he held up the jar to fill his glass also. I understand your doubting. he felt silent. You will steal, murder or spy under my command. I will give you contracts and any murder or robbing you do outside these contracts is your own responsibility. He answered him seriously. And when he began about the subject of ‘gold’ his eyes lit up a little. Making another grin appear on his face as he tilts his head. Ah yes, gold. Probably a men’s greatest treasure. Besides a woman of course. He made a ridiculous statement of it while the jar was placed on the table again. What is it that you want to talk about .. Is it the height of the payment? he asked him a little more interested this time.

So many questions and you could say that larethian was used to it.  That, my friend. Is something I will take care off. Suddenly he stepped forward, no longer frozen by the thought that Kaz would attack him again. Perhaps it was the alcohol that was starting to ease his mind. Perhaps it was the conversation. He could not clarify it for himself. Not yet at least. Larethian looked him in the eye for about a second or two before turning slowly around him. Softly, almost tender he touched Kaz his shoulder with the tips of his fingers. Feeling the fabric on his skin for about a second or so. Only to break the connection almost immediately. Completing his circle; facing him again, Larethian then just smiles, a distant smile – his eyes loaded with certainty. Certainty that the boy could be of use to him. And that he could be of use to him.  Not only in gold. But perhaps also with other ’things’. He smugs a little and placed himself in front of Kaz again. I’ll ask one of my smiths you craft you a Valyrian ring. And on that ring is my sigil engraved. He tilts his head a little bit back before he shrugs. Most of the landowners know this sigil and have seen Valyrian steel.

He pulls his body back and moves it to the table were he filled his own glass with the slightest precision and then turns his body towards Kaz again only to fill his cup. He heard his reaction on the questions he asked earlier and a smile  covered his face. Depends He doesn't clarify his thoughts, he just states them. The karaf was placed on the table again and he takes a sip from the filled glass before turning his gaze towards the boy again. The height depends on the contract you get from me. Wether it be a simple stealing job or an assassination. His answer to kaz when he spoke, was plain, the words simple yet empty. Showing again the difference between the two men. Larethian locked his eyes with his, but this time his gaze was calmer, almost timide. What do you think of that?

There was not a question that he would left unanswered. No, in fact he was being honest. Perhaps even too honest if you would ask an outsider. Not only he was gaining Kaz a favour. But also himself by having new souls to work for him and finished the filthy chores. Chores that he does not want to bother himself with. But the last question of the boy kept lingering in his mind for a while. How was he ever able to escape if he would get caught. Perhaps a sigil would do the trick. Nobody would disobey the Valyrian throne anyway. At least, no one ver tried. So a sigil it must be. In the form of a ring. A very special ring, gained from a special friend. But to gain the ring they must travel to the castle treasure room. He smirks a little. Let’s see how Kaz will react if he sees his friend. Protecting any gold the valyrian throne had to offer.

The slightest touch he had given Kaz with the tip of his fingers had left a burned feeling on his hands. He stretches his fingers for a few seconds but relaxes them as the feeling started to fade away. The alcohol was kicking in his system or else he would not have done these things. You could say that he was used to a certain amount of alcohol but the opposite proved that.

Don’t get too close with me now all of a sudden Kaz. Carefully tasting the name on his lips again. He threw a smouldering stare as he turned his body towards Kaz again. His gaze never leaving the one of Kaz as he took a step forward. after all, you attacked me. Don’t you want to do that right now? he asked him with the same smouldering look on his face as earlier. Or do you want other things. he smirks as his eyes lit up. Challenging him more than that the plan was.

He steps back, making the space between them bigger. Cheers Larethian spoke, raising his glass of wine to ‘celebrate’ their small deal. He grins as he tilts his head a little bit back to take a large sip. Before turning his gaze towards kaz again. But to seal the deal I must ask you to come with me. It was not a question, nor it was a demand. If he did not want to come he was welcome to leave. If he wanted to go with him. Well, there would be a small surprise ready for him.

The deal between them has been made. It could have been risky, but Larethian would eventually see how Kaz would be of use to him. If not. Well, let’s see if he could come up with a plan to get rid of him then. Same if the boy was backstabbing him or something else in the process.

But to fully seal the deal he still had to show kaz some things.. Things that were important for this matter to be sealed. To make sure Larethian was able to leave his mark in the boy his head. To make sure his rules were clear and that he was not playing games, with no one. He grins. When the boy started to talk about his bedroom and how thrilling this thing was going to be that Kaz needed to see with his own eyes. And thrilling it was. Not to Larethian, but to the boy. Perhaps you could see it as a test. To see if he would back up or give in. Oh, I can assure you Kaz. That it will be thrilling. He smirks as he turns his body away from the boy. Follow me, we are going to make a little trip..

Without waiting for an answer he moved his body towards the other side of the house to the stables. He whispered something to Benjen and turns his head back towards Kaz. You can take the black horse. he simply pointed out while making his way towards his white stallion and jumped on it.

Larethian told him that he could the black stallion. Which in a strange way would fit with the boy his personality. It was a fast steed, most of the time too stubborn for his own health and perhaps he also forgot too say a little hot-headed. He grins while thinking about the fact that the steed almost threw one of his guards off but he decided not to give it any attention. In fact he deserved another lesson, if the lesson Kaz was going to get would be not enough for him. For he did not accept any uproars, intruders or other persons who could be a threat against his loved ones. Not now, nor ever.

Kaz seemed to smirk at him while he moved himself on the stallion and he could not help it but to return him the favor. And once in the saddle he leaned back a bit. Creating some pressure on the reins and take a look at Kaz to see if he was done and ready for the trip. It wouldn't be far. At least not very far for his own opinion. They would have to cross some part of the desert and send their horses through some mountain passages but that would be it. So when he was ready he gave the stallion free range to start in a steady but fast gallop. Immediately the wind started to blow against his face carefully letting his gaze go back to see if Kaz had followed him. If not, well that would be his loss. He grins while he saw the guy and focus his gaze on the horizon again. Making sure the horse would keep the track that he was imagining. And wrong step could be your last one.

Traps were carefully placed in the sand so there would only be one way to enter the castle. At least, that was what everyone was thinking. But there was another way. To the passage under the castle. And that was where they were going right now. He had to make sure to get the things he needed from the creature they were going to see. And as the day continues and their horses grew tired of running the landschap seemed to change. It became a lot more darker and weary. With large spiked mountain tops that were close to them. His eyes trailed along the spikes and the large doors that dimmed up into their gaze. The doors to the treasure room that Valyria possessed. The doors to every coin and golden statue they made fortune of.

Nobody switched words during the travel towards whatever the king had in mind for him. And nobody seemed to care about it as well. Larethians system was still running on the wine and therefor he wasn't able to start a decent conversation. At least not with the man close to him. He could imagine seeing it all go wrong in the end like they started their day. And he wasn't sure if he wanted that to happen again. At least not for kaz.

Once the large doors dimmed up into his bright blue eyes a little smirk could be seen. And as they approached the doors Larethian saw the guards already waiting to open the large steel doors for them. They are what some people call 'impenetrable'. And can only be opened while performing a certain path into the lock of the door. Like a maze that has to be solved but 10000 times harder. The horses were forced into a slower walk and once the company was almost in front of the door the guards managed to open it for them and let them pass. No going back now, kaz. he murmured while laughing slightly amused.

With the slightest smirk on his face the two of them entered the gigantic hall of the treasure room. And behind them the guards were able to close the doors and lock them. Not only because he did not want anyone to go inside. But also because he wanted to make sure that the things in this cave stayed in this cave. The cave does not only possess the most precious gems of all. But there were other secrets. Secrets he never told anyone about. Not even his own children. He grins, again. As if a joke was coming or a good laugh would stir up his mind. But instead of express himself he continued to lead the way. Making sure not to take a misstep with the horse under him. His blue gaze trailed along the walls of the cave which were decorated with the finest stones in the country and while walking on they passed another hallway until finally a gigantic room with the most diverse glinstering things could be seen. In the distance a low growl could be heard.Followed by a pair of liquid golden eyes that grew larger with every step the horses took.  Eventually Larethian demanded the horse to stop and he pulled his body down from the saddle. Get down and follow me. Oh and keep your mouth shut for now will you. he hissed the words towards Kaz and pointed his eyes for a short moment on him to see if he would even react.
