GREETINGS. I AM STANNIS BARATHEON, ONCE RIGHTFUL KING OF WESTEROS, AND LORD OF DRAGONSTONE AND STORM'S END, THOUGH OLD TITLES MATTER LITTLE HERE.
I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOR ALL "REFUGEES".
[ is he using capslock because he believes that is the proper way to type? because he accidentally got his phone stuck on it? because he just wants to? the true reason will likely be lost to time, and none will ever know. ]
HAVE ANY OF YOU EXPERIENCED AN ODD OCCURRENCE WHERE YOU MEET SOMEONE THAT YOU ARE ACQUAINTED WITH, AND THEY RECALL EVENTS FAR DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU? NOT MERELY A LAPSE IN THEIR MEMORY, BUT ENTIRELY DIFFERENT EVENTS, SUCH AS A MAN STILL BEING ALIVE WHEN YOU KNOW HIM TO BE DEAD, OR HEARING THAT YOU MARCHED YOUR WIFE AND CHILD INTO BATTLE WHEN YOU KNOW THAT WOULD BE UTTER FOLLY AND RECALL LEAVING THEM SAFELY UNDER GUARD?
[ he still cannot believe that anyone would do that, least of all a man who seems to share his name, personality, and so many of his memories, yet is very much not him. ]
I WOULD KNOW IF THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR THINGS WITH THOSE THEY KNOW. AS THOUGH THERE WERE TWO VERSIONS OF YOUR WORLD. ONE THAT SOME OF YOU RECALL, AND ONE THAT OTHERS DO.
AND EVEN IF YOU DO NOT, I WOULD ALSO HEAR OF WHAT YOU KNOW OF DRAGONS FROM YOUR OWN WORLD. AS A MEMBER OF THE SIMWE INSTITUTE, ONE OF MY TASKS IS TO STUDYING THEM, AND I WOULD HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.
YOU HAVE MY THANKS, AND DO NOT WASTE MY TIME.

[ Besides, it seems as though Margaery has stuck the knife in where it truly hurts. ]
no subject
[ you cannot just decide someone is a king because you like them more. if that were the case, then Aegon the Unworthy would have never taken the throne. ]

[ After all, it had been a happy chance that Loras happened to love Renly as he does - and likely that was much to do with their reasoning in choosing Renly as a would be king. Not only would he be well liked, but the Tyrells would have no problems in ruling from beside the throne. As much as Loras is loathe to admit it, the youngest Baratheon was an ideal pawn in a greater plan. ]
I swore my oaths. I will not turn my back on them.

[ Stannis had never wished to be king. if he had desired anything, it had only been Storm's End. perhaps Robert to acknowledge him. most would say it would have been in his best interests to support Renly for the throne.
but he would not do so, nor could he ever. for the law was absolute. ]
THERE WERE MORE THAN JUST OATHS AT WORK, LORAS TYRELL.
