ARYa_Nym Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 people forget that the dornish sold the other sellswords under the bus and said they were to betray dany, when in fact they were to join her sideWhat I'm saying is that he showed no real personal desire for her. There was only my father expects this of me, I'm a prince of Dorne, I can't go back home with failure, etc. He also wished that he had kissed the Drinkwater twins before he died and wanted to marry the Yronwood girl.Jorah is a Nice Guy but Quentyn was not.

Most of the marriages shown in the story so far have been arranged and have started with little mutual attraction. Even Ned and Cat, which is probably he happiest and healthiest adult relationship shown in the series so far, likely started out very awkwardly and with little initial attrection due to Cat originally being betrothed to Ned's brother.

MDT Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 No. She's a 16 to 17 year old girl who just forcibly conquered a city state and declared herself ruler. The standards in which we judge her are therfeore justifiably higher because of that (and that's even disregarding the fact that children are expected to be mature decision-makers at a much younger age in Westeros than they are in the modern real world.)I always thought she was 13 (born perhaps late 284?) at the star of the books and about 15 (first 2 books are approximatly 2 years 298-299) when she reached slavers bay.
