William waited paitently for Jahar to show his respect, even if the Hand did not believe formalities were necessarily. He had accepted the bows easier when he'd been Regent, if only because the gesture kept a sense of familiarity in the courts with Paegon dead and Jaehaerys missing. "The night might be in my honor, Ser Jahar, but the attention of the courts always falls on the King. The Hand is only a concern when he is carrying out unpopular orders. I'm sure you've noticed that over your many years in the Kingsguard." He smiled, but his words were true. History didn't always treat the Hand kindly, and more than a few had lost their heads to the whims of Kings who weren't pleased with the results. Jaehaerys appeared mild mannered enough, but the man was a Dragon by birth, and dragons were known best for blood and fire.
