As Tyrion approaches a group of strangers, he takes a deep breath and squares his shoulders. He knows that first impressions are crucial, and he wants to make a good one.

Tyrion Lannister : "Good day, gentlefolk," he says, his voice ringing out clear and strong. "May I present myself as Tyrion Lannister, of House Lannister and Casterly Rock."

Some of the people around him snicker and whisper behind their hands, but Tyrion ignores them. He knows that he's different, but he's proud of who he is.

"I'm afraid I've heard some... Unkind things about dwarves," one of the men says, leering at Tyrion. "Are you here to steal our gold or something?"

Tyrion Lannister : bristles, but he keeps his cool. "I'm here to conduct business, if you'll allow me," he says firmly. "My family has a long and storied history in this realm, and I'm confident that we can come to an agreement that benefits us all."
