His eyes showed genuine concern. "When lightning strikes a man in armor, it is attracted to the armor, not the man the armor is meant to protect. That the bolt intended no malice to the man is little consolation as his flesh is cooked."
The Knight of Harrentown bowed. "But I have no doubt a dragoness need not fear such a thing. And the people grow more fond of you every day. I have already begun telling them tales of your efforts during the war. Unlike the dogmatic dandies of court, the indubitable inhabitants of this realm favor women with genuine strength of character!"

"I am not a man in armour, and the people are not a bolt of lightning, ligntning bolts don't think or feel or reason, they just are, unlike the people, who do all those things." Saesha replied, but not harshly.
"Thank you, Ser, ruling this place will be easier if the people like us, we all have to live and work together. Thank you for talking me up to them, it means a lot, your loyalty was given freely, and that means a lot to my husband and I. Can you think of any other ways we might earn their support?"

"Well..." He caressed his beard in thought. "Once upon a time, people would travel far and wide to watch men and beasts battle in the great pit. Their trade would enrich the coffers of the people, and their tales would inspire even more people to visit. The gentleman trader Shiv has expressed interest in reviving the tradition. A hefty portion of the profits would be directed to the treasury of course."

"You want us to open the Bear Pit? That would make the people happy?" Saesha asked skeptically, was that really the best way? She did not like the idea of the place.

"It is no different from the countless tourneys the highborn put on. Only this entertainment will bring coin to Harrenhal instead of robbing it. And these people need a distraction from their recent woes. Something or someone to cheer for."

"I will put it to Lord Blackfort, thank you Ser," she said, but for some reason found the idea in bad taste herself. It was no different to tourneys etc, but the pit element made her uneasy. "For your advice in all these matters, I am confident we can build a good port in no time with the areas natural affinity for it."
