"You're a dick."

"And you're a brat." Bronn countered, Tyrion smirked up at Josie.

"Want to continue to trade insults or do you two want to grow up?" Tyrion questioned.

Tyrion could actually see her weighing her options before she turned and marched down the path to get away from Bronn and his constant flirting, even for just a little bit, Tyrion watched her walk away every inch of her as regal as a queen.

'How many Dornish men does it take to fuck a goat?' Bronn said and Tyrion let out a huff of a breath. This was turning out to be a long morning.

'Please don't.' Tyrion begged, Bronn sat down on a log by a tree leaning against it.

'it seems to me a smart place to meet travelers is in a tavern that way one parties late the other party can drink some ale inside.' Bronn remarked.

'It is the prince of Dorne we are waiting for.' Tyrion reminded him 'not to sell sword friend.'

'If he's so damn important why did they send you to meet him?' Bronn questioned.

''There is bad blood between the Martell's of Dorne and the Lannister's of Castlery rock for years.' Tyrion told them.

'And just in case the Martel's of Dorne spill some Lannister blood it might as well be yours?' Bronn suggested.

'They like me.' Josie told him. 'Don't worry, Doran is a peaceful man, I don't see him traveling but for the kigns wedding...'

''I also happen to be a skilled diplomat.' Tyrion reminded him.

'Oh.' Bronn said taking another drink

'Here we are.' Tyrion said noting the horses coming up the trail 'can you read the sigils?' Bronn looked ahead. Tyrion, Josie, Bronn and Podrick stood at attention as the dornish approached.

'yellow balls.' Bronn said squinting into the distance

'Lemon trees house thorn of lemon wood.' Podrick answered. 'A vulture grasping a baby in its talons house Blackmore.' Podrick said reading them off as they got closer 'crown and skull the leaders of King Gray.'

'The boy knows his Dornish houses.' Tyrion applauded

'I know the sigils.' Bronn said stiffly

''And House Martell a red sun pierced by a spear?' Tyrion questioned

'I don't see it my Lord.' Podrick told him.

'Well met my lords.' Tyrion said stepping forward 'your grace king Joffrey welcomes you in his name and my Lord Hand father sends his greeting as well I am Tyrion Lannister of casterly rock master of coin.' They just stared down at him. 'Forgive me.' Tyrion said looking them over 'I don't see Prince Doran in your company.'

'The princes ales have forced him to stay at Suns peak he sent his brother Oberyn in his place to attend the royal wedding in his stead.' Prince Doran was the stable Martell but Oberyn was known to be trouble. Joise's eyes went wide though looking for him.

'well I'm glad to have Prince Oberyn, as well I know king joffrey and my father the lord hand tywin Lannister will be also pleased to have the prince of dorne for this most wonderful of days.' Tyrion looked around. 'Where is he?"

'Yes where is Oberyn?" josie echoed.

'Our prince is not one for welcome parties, he arrived before dawn.'

'Snow?'

'Yes.' Josie said looking them over again. 'Hi!' she exclaimed recognizing them from her time in dorne.

'What the hell are you doing with the Lannister's?'

'My sister was forced to marry one of them, now I'm stuck with this one until the day he dies.' Josie teased and tyrion's face pinched as he looked up at her. 'I'm kidding,' she told Tyrion ruffling his hair.

"The prince will be glad to see you.'

'I will be glad to see him, once I find him.' Josie told them.

'Yes of course, well the king would be delighted.' Tyrion said after a brief pause, 'to be in the company of a warrior such a renowned as prince Oberyn and his wedding feast.'

'Will he?' The Dornish man asked

'Of course... Very well.' Tyrion said turning around, now he had to find a possibly murderous prince roaming kings landing.  'these fine men from the city watch will escort you-' they started walking past him 'to the city watch you must be wary after such... A long journey.' Tyrion said

'Yes true diplomacy' Bronn added

'Prine Oberyn is known as the red viper.' Tyrion told them

'So you're thinking trouble?' Bronn questioned

'What do you think?' Tyrion told him

'So where now?' Bronn questioned

''We will find Prince Oberyn before he kills someone.' Tyrion suggested.

'How do you plan on finding a single Dornish man in a city full of them?' Bronn questioned.

'He just arrived in the capital after a long journey after two weeks of bad road where would you go?'

'To a proper bed but I'm getting old.' Bronn remarked.

'I know where he will be.' Josie told them.
