You never know what you'll do until you're faced with the situation. And it's only treason if you fail.

[But just so he doesn't get the wrong idea...]

Brother or not, was it the king or your country and it's people that were most important to you?

[bruxisms]

[ his eyes narrow for some time, growing increasingly less at ease with her words, before finally speaking again. ]

As a king, it is my people that are the most important, for a king protects his people or he is no king at all. But as a subject, it is my duty to follow my king.

[ be that as it may... ]

My brother's cause was just, and he was not the one to strike first.

[wallofbriggs]

A good statement, and one that suggests if your king were to waken here he wouldn't be an issue.

[It's a shame she can't say the same for her own.]

[bruxisms]

[ a sigh ]

Only an issue for me.

[ for he imagines that as he had in Westeros, he would look after Robert's expenses. though, at the very least, they might be on more even footing. ]

[wallofbriggs]

Count yourself lucky. There are plenty of others that it would be best if they never woke up.

[bruxisms]

Aye, there are those from mine own realm as well. But mercifully, they are not particularly difficult to spot.

[ but then again, he's nearly suspicious of everyone. ]

[wallofbriggs]

[Nothing wrong with that, it's a damn good way to stay alive.]

Same, if you know what to look for and can find it.

[bruxisms]

I do. The problem, at times, is getting others to believe the truth of what is right in front of them.

[ how many times has he heard "you have no proof" for things that are only simple logic? far too many. ]

[wallofbriggs]

[She has no reason to believe him either and would prefer to make up her own mind, but it never hurts to be on guard.]

And what is there to look for from yours?

[bruxisms]

Those who will overtly flatter you to your face, only to plot your demise behind your back. Honesty is far more important, though mercifully, their compliments are ofttimes transparent. Others are more obvious, and wear their cruelty openly.

[ and since she asked as well. ]

What of those from your world?

[wallofbriggs]

[She frowns because... seriously?]

That describes most people.

[No wonder people have a hard time believing him.]

A tattoo of a winged snake eating its tail.

[See how specific that is Stannis? That's how you do it.]
