[Drogo dead. Drogo dead. One of his murderers, dead. This pleases him, as much as it's possible to really pleases Viserys Targaryen. And yet, he cannot let that slip. He cannot risk Dany thinking of him as, what? Going behind his back for information? It's not that he cares that she might become angered with Jorah for it, but he hardly wants her to think he's...afraid...to speak to her so bluntly.]
I was always told that Khal Drogo was one of the most fearsome warriors among the Dothraki. To hear his life was taken in battle is quite startling. He never struck me as one who would easily lose. [But there are knives here, and who is Viserys to refuse to twist one? He cannot stab with a physical knife, hands too shaky. Fingers that wriggled too much. All he has ever had were words, and eventually even those failed him.] I see it more sensibly now that you have told me this. She was very hesitant to speak more on the child. I thought you knew him well. His people seemed to quite like you, to respect you. The loss hit you hard as well, did it not? That sounds very terrible, Ser Mormont. You had others to help you with the burden, I hope.
[He's not apologizing. Not yet. He does not imagine Jorah will take it for genuine, and he shouldn't. Sensibly? Hah. As if Viserys sees much at all in a rational light.]
okay snape;
