I have not treated her as such. She kept insisting and I told her if we could speak of it at another time. [Because he was crying and blind or not, he is not comfortable with others noticing it.] We have not solved the matter yet. Mayhaps, in time.

[He does not really feel like it, to be honest.]

Men like that should not be in power. Once we had a mad king who cooked one of my uncles alive and allowed his son to take my aunt. It were my lord father and his good friend Robert who finally raised their banners and managed to crush the Targaryen house. [The look on his face is a proud one. His father had stood up for his family, for what is good.]]

So we avoid her instead? [The tone of his voice is a little skeptical.] There is nothing wrong with being afraid, gods, the moment I decided to call my own banners my hands were trembling. But I do not see how your approach will help any. If she wishes to come, she will come.
