Why did I think coming North was a good place to hide? It's cold!

I had no idea. I grew up in Kings Landing.

That is true but I don't see Joffery coming all this way or his men to kill me. So I will endure.

"You should smile more, Gendry."

Who are you murdering?

I am told that is one of my many flaws.

I am use to angry princes and lords. Even those who wish me dead.

Good morrow, my prince.

Just a nobody really. Cassana Rivers.

I do not worry so much but I doubt I rise high anywhere. My father has so many bastards. I am okay with just being who I am. No need for politics as a bastard.

Just because I am a bastard or they are doesn't make our blood impure. Baratheon blood runs through my veins just as it does any other Baratheon.

Your words don't offend me. I am aware that my status will always be lesser. None of us asked for this life, my prince. The gods blessed you and not me. Lords can't help themselves. That is why we outnumber you all.

........... That was not what I thought I would see.

........

How many dark haired Baratheon children do you have? Besides me.
