You and Varys walk around, enjoying the festivities. After some time, you overhear an argument between a young, short kid and the tournament organizer you spoke to earlier. The kid leaves in anger. You and Varys are curious, so you walk up to the kid and ask him what happened.

The kid replies, "All the tournament rosters are full. I was going to join the individual melee competition, but apparently that was filled hours ago." He sighs. You tell him about how you had trouble too, but you were able to make it onto the team melee.

"Really?" he says, looking excited. "Could I join you guys?"

Before you can say anything, Varys interjects. "That depends, kid…can you fight?"

The kid laughs, and you notice the staff he's holding. "I'm quite good at this. I bet you can't even touch me in a fight."

Varys laughs. "Come on, kid, you can't be that good."

The kid encourages Varys to try. Varys shrugs and charges at the kid. The kid dodges and trips him. When Varys tries to grab him, he's hit in the chest and arms several times with the staff. After the third attempt results in Varys nearly getting hit in the face, he decides to stop trying. Varys rubs his shoulder. "The kid is young and short, but definitely has skill."

Should you invite the kid onto the team?
