In the grand scheme of things, this would be a better opportunity to let Amber's hidden and less-tested strengths come out from reserve, sweeping out on to the field of play, distracting and undermining the enemies appreciation of their own basis of conflict.
Just sic all the curious delegates on her by dropping words in their ears. Soon half the women in the place will be wanting to spar with her (Dara, Sand, Zarina, this new girl of Arden's, and who knows) and the other half will just *so* want to know all about the battle, or in Emmie's case, the headless driver, or how she keeps her lovely complexion so pale, and Neti, of course, will be trying to get her to teach her whichever lanuage they speak in Ghenesh.
Next thing you know, poor Caithness will be desperately riding for a mountain on which to avoid all this crazed attention.
I dunno, I think one of Amber's underappreciated strengths is currently dealing with Caithness. At least I'd describe him as underappreciated based on Caine's reaction ....
Martin thinks she's scary as all get-out, but he kind of likes that in a woman.
Ben and Random may be the only people who really appreciate the long game that Martin is playing. Nobody thinks he could take the throne, but how many people see Martin in bits like the scene with Random on the evening of Day 0?
Martin plays to the stereotype of naive kid more than he actually is one.

If he didn't care, he wouldn't be writing valentines at all.
Re: Oh, right
He's Benedict, he has nothing to do but be curious about the universe. And that defending Amber thing.

No way! She's going to think she's an evil Djinn! Or something sent by the evil Dijinn!
Especially after the wild tales her horsemaster is going to be telling her about the carriage and driver.
To Velasca, is she is going to look too soft. Like one of those primping men.

Caine's just snarky
Martin isn't the weakling Caine thinks he is.
Hyena. (No, not Martin. Caine)
