If it meant another recruit for Aktaie, then he would take it. "You may think upon it and return within two weeks."

We were given life to protect the lives of women, and we do so willingly and gladly." Greyjoy didn't mention that those too weak to obey were killed or castrated, depending upon the severity of their transgressions.
