The tactics of the Ironborn? ( Were they not in play under the banner of Euron Greyjoy, that just might work. However: they are unless Theon and Yara mount a coup. ) They are on the side of my enemy, so far as I'm aware. Their leader was spooked by the wight we presented to those of the South who thought them the stuff of tales. The infantry forces are what we will mainly have to face, if he stays at home once the dead are gone. Those men have been fighting constantly for seven years; they're tired.

( And their morale must be alarmingly low after her attack upon their loot train. Good. ) It has been the same in my country. My goal for some time has been to break the wheel which crushes rich and poor for the betterment of a select few. ( She raises her chin, the line of her jaw set tight. ) The witch I spoke of when we first met? I watched her burn.

( But I found no joy in it. Only peace. I am not my father. And she would remark on it, were he not to mention that one thing which sees her expression harden. Generally, they tend to agree; but not on this one thing. Her tone when she makes her reply is sharper than her wont. )

No one should suffer the fate of being bought and sold and abused. All lives are precious.

( Except those of one's enemy, obviously. There's always exceptions. But as a rule of thumb: she despises slavery. ) We have all been imprisoned here, caged like animals. The perimeter is nothing less than that. Because they can't be seen doesn't mean we've not been put in chains.

( Dany considers this, and then inclines her head once, almost imperceptibly. )

I hold no faith in the divine; it is what I would do, whether they were real or not.
