An insult to a Princess of Dorne? Kaelyn Stark was mad. Dorne was held to the Targaryens by blood and by no other means. For a Stark who did not have kinship nor even hold the crown to knowingly offend the heiress to the seventh kingdom was to all but incite Dornish independence and a crumbling of the Iron Throne... Jaehaerys didn't bother to mask his surprise and wariness. Still, Toria impressed him and she must have Elia as well.
"Princess Elia's brothers aren't near so compassionate, Lady Toria Lannister. Your aunt planning on insulting them as well?" He shook his head. "You'd best offer a man something more than gold for that sort of risk. It's more than a man's life to get in the midst of angry vipers." Ships, land, some great treasure. Those were the only things that would credibly lure a Tyroshi into a pot of wildfire like this.
Bad enough for the Starks to be holding Aeria's crown, he didn't like to think what would go on if the Martells decided to simply remove themselves from the kingdom. Gods be good, this meant he would have to work quickly or risk having no throne to return to. He wondered if William Stark knew what foolishness his wife was getting herself into.
He glanced at Ser Geron with a discerning eye, and nodded once. Jaer's fighting instincts told him true enough that the man would make a worthy opponent. "I'm sure he will. I won't question his skills. He more than looks his part."
