The Prince of Thorns

🐲The Missing Queen & The Humiliated Queen🔔

GREAT PYRAMID

Tyrion, Daario, and Jorah sit on the steps in Dany's throne room.

TYRION (to Jorah): "You love her, don't you? How could you not. Of course, it's hopeless for the both of you. Sellsword from the fighting pits, a disgraced knight. Neither one of you are a fit consort for a queen. But we always want the wrong woman."

DAARIO: "Does he always talk so much?"

Jorah nods. Missandei brings Grey Worm into the room, with bandages around his torso.

GREY WORM: "Jorah the Andal."

JORAH: "Torgo Nudho."

GREY WORM: "You should not be here."

DAARIO: "No, but he is."

GREY WORM: "Our queen ordered him exiled from city."

DAARIO: "Our queen would be dead if not for him."

MISSANDEI (Valyrian): "It's true. And I would be dead if not for the... (looks at Tyrion) little man."

TYRION (Valyrian): "Dwarf. I believe that's the word. Apologies. My Valyrian is a bit "nostril"."

MISSANDEI: (Valyrian) "A bit "rusty"."

TYRION: (Valyrian) "Rusty" (Common Tongue) Thank you."

GREY WORM: "I am sorry. Sorry I am not there to fight for my queen."

DAARIO: "You missed a good scrap."

JORAH: "None of that matters now. The longer we sit here bantering the longer Daenerys is out there in the wilderness."

TYRION: "He's right. The dragon headed north. If we're going to find her, that's where we're to go."

JORAH: "We? You're a Lannister. The Queen intends to remove your family from power."

TYRION: "And I intend to help her do it."

JORAH: "You've been here for how many days now? I've fought for her for years. Since she was little more than a child."

TYRION: "You betrayed her!"

JORAH: "Careful now."

TYRION: "And she exiled you, twice, I believe?"

JORAH: "The second time thanks to you."

TYRION: "Don't blame me for your crimes, Mormont."

DAARIO: (gestures to Tyrion) "He's right. The Queen exiled Jorah. (gestures to Jorah) And he's right, Jorah saved her life. Perhaps she feels differently about him now. Perhaps not. The only way we'll know is if we ask her."

TYRION: "Fine, fine, I suppose he can join us. Just as long as he promises not to kill me in my sleep."

JORAH: "If I ever kill you your eyes will be wide open."

DAARIO (to Tyrion): "Forgive me, but why would we bring you?"

TYRION: "Pardon me?"

DAARIO: "Have you ever tracked animals in the wilderness?"

TYRION: "Not precisely, but I have other skills that'd be very useful--"

DAARIO: "Can you fight?"

TYRION: "I have fought. I don't claim to be a great warrior."

DAARIO: "Are you good on a horse?"

TYRION: "Middling."

DAARIO: "So mainly you talk?"

TYRION: "And drink. I've survived so far."

DAARIO: "Which I respect. But you would not help us on this expedition. You would help us here in Meereen, though. (to Missandei, Grey Worm, and Jorah) None of us have any experience governing a city, except for him. You want to prove your value to the queen? Prove it right here in Meereen."

JORAH: "He's a foreign dwarf that barely speaks the language. Why would the Meereenese listen to him?"

DAARIO: "They wouldn't. They will listen to Grey Worm."

GREY WORM: "I'll come with you. I'll find our queen."

MISSANDEI: "You are not strong enough to go anywhere."

GREY WORM: "I am."

DAARIO: "He is, he's the toughest man with no balls I've ever met. But you still can't go. The people believe in you. They know you speak for the queen."

MISSANDEI: "It's true. Only the Unsullied can keep the peace in Meereen. If you leave, half the city will consume the other half."

DAARIO: "And Missandei. Our queen trusts no one more than Missandei. Certainly not me. The queen's closest confidant, the commander of the Unsullied, and the foreign dwarf with the scarred face. Good fortune, my friends, Meereen is ancient and glorious. (to Tyrion) Try not to ruin her. (to Jorah) Looks like it's you and me, Jorah the Andal. Let's find some good horses. We have so much to talk about."

Tyrion walks down the steps towards Missandei and Grey Worm. They exchange uncertain glances with each other.
