[ she's surprised ]

Really?

[tallasaking]

Mmm. Yes. I have tried to do the right thing by my family - to have they do the right thing -- and they have time and time again chosen their own self interests. To the point where they framed me for the murder of my own nephew.

[takeabow]

...That's terrible.

[tallasaking]

They are, in fact, quite terrible people.

[takeabow]

I'm sorry.

[tallasaking]

You have my sympathies as well. It seems neither one of us have had particularly good luck with whom we are forced to deal with.

[takeabow]

Yeah. Luckily, they're not here.

[tallasaking]

Not ... yet. I have the feeling I shall not be so fortunate for long.

[takeabow]

Why do you say that?

[tallasaking]

Because I have found I have the most curious kind of luck .... and that is the sort of luck that usually means I have been unfortunate enough to escape one bad situation right into another one.

[Tyrion gestures around.] Case in point.

[takeabow]

I don't know. We get food, warm places to sleep, and no one's trying to kill me currently. If you ignore the audience, it could be worse.

[tallasaking]

...Hm, I would not put a large bag of gold on that particular outcome.

[takeabow]

Ignoring the audience?

[tallasaking]

Yes, if that is what you would like to call it. I call it not feeding blood to the beast.

[takeabow]

It's easier said than done, I think.

[tallasaking]

I fear you may be right ... you seem rather familiar with it all. The public eye, I mean. Have you been here long?

[takeabow]

[ she sighs slightly ]

Four months? But I dealt with the audience thing at home.

[tallasaking]

Ah yes ... this horrific land where you have to pretend to be something that you are not. For the fawning public. I imagine this place must be ... something of a relief.

[takeabow]

Fewer revolutions happening here, in any event.

[tallasaking]

Well I wasn't planning on starting one - were you?

[takeabow]

I never actually planned to start the last one.

[tallasaking]

So it just sort of ... accidentally occurred? You walked out of your door and tripped over it?

[takeabow]

You'd be surprised?

[tallasaking]

...Somehow, m'Lady Nova, I think not.

[takeabow]

I was more the spark that lit the flame, anyway.
