[Lyanna posed a good question and it took Rhaegar a moment to respond, to remember himself. This woman stirred his blood in a way his lady wife never had and while he did have honor, he was still a man. The fire of the dragon burned hot in his veins and he had to keep his head. He had to remember himself even if somehow they had managed to escape from Harrenhal into somewhere else entirely. He had merely followed; where had the She Wolf taken him?]
I would have talked with you. You did an honorable thing, saving your father's man, and it is a good knight who looks out for those less fortunate and less skilled at arms. I would have arranged for you to escape with no repercussions.
[Rhaegar tilted his head, assessing her. This was something else entirely, wasn't it? How was he going to handle this?]
But now I find myself with an unmarried maiden instead of a knight. I will need to take a different approach.
