Perhaps.  But only perhaps.  Dragonbloods came from one of three places - the Realm, Lookshy, and elsewhere.  Most Lookshyans, Mera had explained, learned Old Realm because most of the left-behind records were written in it, but otherwise they spoke Riverspeak.  Very few spoke High Realm, due to their defiance against the Empress' dominion.  And those that did were either defectors or were inevitably recruited for spy mission to the Isle.<br/><br/>Dragonbloods from elsewhere - Lost Eggs - spoke the language of wherever they grew up.  The fact that this one spoke High Realm...it didn't leave many possibilities for his origin.  "Hm...I can speak it.  But I'd ask what I would get in return for helping out a young lady of means with such a matter."  Well, he was looking for something.  But then again, so were most people.
