Jaehaerys smiled in amusement at Arrys' reference to the godswoods. "Don't let the Starks hear you say that- they're fiercely fond of their strange trees."
The king raised a brow. "You will one day be my Warden of the East, and you sit on my council. No, Arrys, you must not think yourself minor here. Modesty is far more becoming on the lists than it is in court." Jaehaerys winked. "It helps one better blend in among the madmen. But I am glad to hear you find us interesting- I do not think it's usually this exciting. My uncle nearly assassinated in his bed and yesterday in the forest, Lord Selester, myself and all our party were nearly lost to some rather well-spoken and very well-trained outlaws... I am now short a kingsguard as a matter of fact."
