[By some surprise, Oberyn Martell, prince of Dorne, managed to keep to himself, if only out of necessity. He had some things to learn and to master quickly before proceeding with anything else.

As it happens, his mastery has come at such brilliant timing.]

Ah, and here I'd thought I'd left the tournaments for showmanship back in my home. I see I am gravely mistaken, as even princes take to showing such petty skill and even for such an open audience! Even my home had some decency for their displays, if you could call it as such. Should I, perhaps, apologize on behalf of my land, or should I simply let them be?

[ Ugh, such lofty airs, as if anyone gives a damn. Blighted nobility... ] Unless Viserys and the child king are directly under your care, there's nothing to apologize for.

[And so the confirmation continues.

What a curious land.

Not that his own presence was curious enough. One of the two should might as well be under his care, to an extent.]

I would prefer to apologize that everyone here would have been subjected to such sights.

It's only an embarrassment if anyone here is daft enough to think he's actually king material. [ The answer is obvious. ] Children are children even if you put crowns on the top of their heads.

Should anyone listen to you in Westeros, they would consider you a rebel.

Well, I am my father's bastard—I was born to rebel. [ Laugh, Oberyn, because it's funny and not at all self-deprecating ]

[He does a bit. It's more of a chuckle.]

So it would seem bastards across lands have much in common.

The truth often angers people, regardless of the mouth it comes from. So why not say it, bastard or not?

[Oh he likes you.]

So it does.
