Bruce runs the table, he does it so smoothly, so effortlessly, he's never competing for the spotlight, he just owns it - steps in and out of it, Cersei would have seen by now, shrugs it on and off, it means very little to him, just a means to an end. What's more surprising, perhaps, is how people want to give it to him, hand it right over on a silver platter - even men like this. Especially men like this. Men like this love the validation and the reflected glory of the Wayne name. His Russian is perfect and they enjoy that as well. He seems to know Moscow and he's more than able to laugh at the jokes at his expense -

"A few times," He replies mildly. "I'm a great fan of the ballet - though I must defend my reputation - I was the victim, sorely outnumbered, I could offer no defence against a team of the finest athletes you would hope to meet - besides, beautiful women have always been my weakness. I am defenceless in the face of their elegance and charm."

And this is in fact true.

Of course it worries him, people want nothing more than credibility, legitimation, nothing more than to be accepted, that's why people play, to some extent, by the rules of civility. And when they don't it's either because they don't understand the rules - the cardinal crime - or because they want to make the point that they don't care and are in the position to get away with it - Bruce among others has played this card himself ( ... )

It appeals to them, the picture their minds paint using Bruce's words and what they suggest because it's further proof to support their claim that Westerners are different. They're soft. Can't be anything but if they let a pretty doll made to hang jewellery and pretty clothes from and to provide entertainment in bed, an accessory, gain that much control at home and outside of it ( ... )
