I'm "too cute" to be a gladiator? My pride is wounded truly. I would hope you have other plans than dragging my torn pride through the mud like that. Speak. Or hold your silence.

You are handsome. I don't know if "cute" is the right word.

[There's a brief smile at that] Thank you. My looks certainly helped in my younger years. But it seems like my "Mun" thinks that a gladiator needs to look "rougher".

You are not so different from my Dothraki warriors and I cannot imagine rougher men. (Except he should grow his hair out.)

Thank you. I'm a Thracian myself. I once were a warlord of a small village near Iamphorynna.

I'm afraid I do not recognize those names. You must hail from another world.

Have you heard of Westeros?

No, I have not I'm afraid.

That is the name of my home. I was born in a castle called Dragonstone.

Dragonstone? It's an impressive name. [Even if he isn't 100% sure on what a "dragon" is. He's pre-medieval times after all.]

It's an impressive castle and fortress. (Let her introduce you, gladiator. Drogon is flying overhead, calling to his mother.)

[The noise sends a shiver down his spine. He glance up towards the flying lizard and pulls his spear.]

Watch out! There's a flying serpent up in the sky.

Yes, I know. (Her voice is calm, but she lays a hand on his arm.) He is my son and a dragon.

You have tamed that beast?

Dragons cannot be tamed. He is loyal to me as his mother. (She raises a hand and Drogon will land behind her, lowering his head to touch her fingers with his snout.) He means you no harm unless I give him the order.

Did you sit on his egg and hatched it or something?

No. He and his brothers hatched in my husband's pyre. I was the first living being they saw.

Like how a duck thinks the first thing it sees is its mom... I'm sorry to hear about your husband though.

It is similar, but dragons are naturally drawn to members of my family. (So her standing in the fire had been totally normal for them. Of course she was like them.) ...thank you. I didn't know if they would hatch, but after I lost him, I had to try.

If I may ask why you thought it was the only thing to do?

I lost my husband, my son and the men who had followed us were leaving. What did I have to lose?

Did you not seek vengeance for his death?

That was part of the reason for the pyre. The witch responsible burned with his body.

In that case... I might have done the same. I spent a long time seeking vengeance for my wife's murder. But would she have died and not need revenge? I might have followed her to Hades.
