You appear to be threatening the wife and unborn child of a dothraki warlord right in front of him and his fellow warlords, I can help you commit a far less painful method of suicide.
No sane person intends to go down a path where Saturdays are spent changing from jeans to a Dothraki pelt-skin costume in the back of a Ford Focus in a Milton Keynes conference centre car-park before meeting their friend Nige (him of the egg-box dragon costume and blow-torch mouth o' fire effect) but cosplay has to start somewhere.
