[Watch her change subjects like a boss.]
Barking up the wrong tree there, Dany...
[Which is apparently code for 'the most famous warrior in Europe since the age of fifteen.' But despite what he might say, the answer is clear just by looking at him. Richard is big, battle-scarred, and manages to give the impression that even while sitting entirely at his ease he is only a split-second away from leaping into action. He practically reeks of violence. There's not much else he could be.]
She likes big, strong violent men. Look at Drogo.
[Men of all sizes have their place in battle. She would use someone of his size at the front and at the back.]
How about big, strong, violent, and gay as a... a very gay thing men?
[He's keeping admirably silent about his own experience in leading armies
and his own experience in cherry picking men out of it for their... talents.She reminds him of a little of a less experience Eleanor and the idea is both amusing and faintly terrifying.]And do you have a fair measure of mine, then?
Oh the gay part can be interesting too. She doesn't mind watching. omgwhatisprivacyandmorals?
You are able-bodied, handsome and you hold your tongue well. All of those are admirable qualities.
Nope. Pretty sure Richard's limits can now be summed up by 'having some girl watch the sexytimes.'
[The only thing keeping him from laughing is the need to maintain his reputation as the brother without the sense of humor. Whether she's trying to get his service for her would-be army or her bed, it's equally funny to him.]
I've never known a commander to pick their forces based on good looks.
:( Don't be a party pooper, Richard. You're hot.
[She laughs and shakes her head.]
Looks are not important on the battlefield. I use them to determine who will help me celebrate our victories.
She can watch him kill things instead? He can be hot doing that too.
[His own face has clearly been smashed and slashed a few times itself, with his scars and broken nose, but he's still a good-looking (and rather vain) prince.]
Alright. Good compromise.

As many as are prepared to put up with the scales and fangs, I'd say.

The cleverest beasts masquerade in human form and sprout wings and teeth when we least expect it. Who am I to judge?
[Whether he's being literal or making some veiled reference to his immediate family can be unclear. His canon's like that.]
no subject
It is unforgivable that I have been separated from them.

Maybe he wasn't that far off the mark with the comment about hidden wings and fangs. He's from the middle ages. A dragon that looks like a woman is hardly the most incredible thing he's ever heard.]
There must surely have been easier ways to accomplish it, if immolation was their intent all along.
no subject
She is meant to rule - not be housed with wizards like some trophy.]
They learned the folly of their ways far too late. I do not grieve them.
no subject
[At least he certainly wouldn't.]
no subject
no subject
[Spoken like a man who is engaged in near constant war with his own barons and vassals, contented one day and at his throat the next over some petty thing in that Aquitaine way. He'd expect nothing less. After all, how many times has he turned around and treated his own father the same way?]
no subject
Though... [She tilts her head thoughtfully.] He should pay for every injustice he has committed.
no subject
[Simpler that way and Richard does give every appearance of being a fairly simple man.]

[Religion is one of those things which Richard can have a decidedly tricky relationship with, but at the moment they're growing closer. Before being so rudely pulled from home he was beginning to think seriously about crusades...]
