[ robb and bran both are onscreen for this, grey wind at robb’s side, summer curled at bran’s. this is meant to be something official, and so robb’s drawn up straight, even though his fingers are carding idly into grey wind’s fur. he clears his throat before he speaks, darting a glance at bran then back to the lens. ]
Though my brothers and I have dwelled aboard this ship for quite some time, it was brought to my attention that there are many aboard who have questions about our direwolves, and we’ve been remiss in not answering them more fully. That is why Bran and I have come before you, to speak of our direwolves and assuage any fears passengers new and old may have of them.
[ grey wind gives a short huff, shifting as if to move away and robb pauses, fingers twisting in fur until grey wind stills beneath his hand. bran has been sitting more still through robb’s speech, watching his brother, but as robb falls quiet, he takes up the task of speaking.]
Our direwolves are not pets, but they are of House Stark and they are ours. They mind us, and they will not harm anyone--so long as we are not under threat. They have never attacked anyone aboard this ship, and they never will, unless there is some danger. They are not tame, but they are not wild and savage, either. And they will not hunt any animal aboard this ship, so those who keep pets need not worry. [and here summer flicks an ear, as if he might take argument with that statement, should tempting prey make itself known--but he settles his great head on his paws once more, as bran scratches behind his ear.]
There’s no need to fear them, nor a need to hunt them. The only times they have bared their teeth against anyone was in service of our House, and protection of our family. If you mean them no harm, then you need never worry about their presence, no matter how large and savage they may appear. [ none so large and savage as ghost, but perhaps that’s best not to bring up. ] If you see them in the halls unaccompanied by one of us, continue about your business. They’ll not bother you. [ grey wind’s lip curls back from his teeth and robb makes a hushing noise, expression stern, before he looks at bran. ] Have you anything else we should say?
[bran has tried to look more a lord than a child this whole time, but as he bites at his lip and thinks, he looks slightly more his age. summer rolls his eyes up to consider him, and robb, and grey wind, but does not raise his head.] Only-- that they are safe. And if anyone is uncertain of them, I would gladly let them meet Summer, so they could see for themselves.
Aye, and Grey Wind too. [ robb says to bran, before addressing the lens next. ] If anyone has doubts, you’re welcome to come to any of our House and see for yourself. We would happily accommodate you.

[ they made songs wishing for his downfall, more like. ]
He would conquer us all if he could, with his cannons. He is a greedy man, the French King and he was making his way towards my land before I came here. It is why my father sold us to marriage, me and Gioffre. For ships and men to fight the French invaders with. They say my father enemies travel with his armies.

Do you know what they say of my family in Rome, my Lord?

[ and the two are fiercely linked for Borgias are doing the will of God and defying them would be defying Him. ]
The French Kind would bring his canons and his wars to Rome and find that Borgias fight their wars differently than the French.
[ in schemes and careful manipulations, in lies and in shadows. But she smiles. Borgias are all the same, someone would say, they are all cunning and they are all ruthless. From handsome Cesare to golden Lucrezia to their once courtesan mother. Likely, they are right. ]
This is why we'll win.

[ because that sort of battle is a lannister one, a southron war, and robb can offer no real advice upon it. starks weren't made for such games. ]

The only thing Juan has is charisma and perhaps the largest amount of bastards in the city.

I knew a man like that once. He proved to be a very great warrior, so perhaps your brother shall surprise you yet.
