Dany reaches across the table and, if Sieglinde allows it, takes her hands. She tells her of how she had led her people across the Red Waste; that her choices had been to keep walking, or die. She tells her how she had found a shining jewel of a city amidst the scorching red sands, ancient and wealthy and proud. She tells her how she had come seeking answers and succor for her people, though only the warlocks had offered her true wisdom. She speaks of how they are searching for her still, to put knives into her back, though they had sailed the wrong way.
It seems to amuse her more than to frighten her. ]
My knight convinced me to dock in Astapor, [ she tells her. ] I meant to buy an army, to go to my friend a queen.
