Standing in place, his eyes holding hers, he takes into account the power intricately woven in her words. They seemed to suggest that he can say what’s on his mind as long as he chooses his words wisely so as not to offend. Yes, Daenerys Targaryen will hear what you have to say, but there will always be boundaries that mustn’t be crossed lest you lose your life. Is she this kind of conqueror, this kind of queen? Ming Kai doesn’t want to think it, but he knows to tread carefully and with caution as anyone would do in the audience of kings and queens. These are troubling times. These are uncertain times. One wrong word and she might call for his head. “Forgive me but do we not agree that it is about honor?” he says, waiting for a reaction but hopeful that she has an open mind to embrace all viewpoints. However, it doesn’t unnerve him to speak freely. He’ll remain loyal to his brand of truth even at the threat of his life. If there’s one thing he’s maintained, it’s his perseverance. He talks of honor, insists on its lawful motivation, claims that it holds true in this day and age — but what is honor in trial and tribulation? Who determines what it truly means when it can change from person to person? “And what is stronger than honor?”
