[X] "My Lord, you are not ignorant to the world around you, or you would happily blind yourself to happenings East as much as your neighbors do to that of the West. Men take gold and all but wear Tywin Lannister's livery, knowing well he treats them as nothing more than a poor barricade to King's Landing. I don't even intend to harm any of them out of hand, for I have no need to."
-[X] "Instead I marshal my forces and reach my hand out to help, to aid and defend my vassals, even though they can declare it naught. The Point, the Stormlands, the Reach, the North, the Vale, and aye, the Riverlands, all have felt my hand, and they have not been worse off for my involvement. The duties, the obligations through which Robert Baratheon derives his authority, have been shirked, and all the while Lions cover themselves in false glory and revel in butchery and name it justice."
-[X] "I am disgusted that my enemies can continually abuse the authority they have wrongfully seized to the detriment of the commons and the Lords whom they owe protection for leal service, yet my rage is a cold thing, and I direct it toward productive ends. Mutual prosperity, peace, rule of law, and diplomacy where another man might use a sword," Or a dagger, it goes unsaid.
-[X] "I reach out to Lords such as yourself not because I feel like I am owed your support, but because you deserve a King who upholds his duties and does right by you, and your subjects, for it. Such that I have for others, and already that support has proven the truth of my words."
-[X] "All that their standing in my path has done is strengthen the monsters, the mad, and the unworthy. I do not think I could name you among any of the three... There are always those waiting on the sidelines hoping that the days will not grow shorter, and the nights longer, with talk of war treated like a mere jest. The war isn't the Lords of Westeros against the dread sorcerer from across the sea. It's a war of our time, a war for the light of day, for the warmth on our skin and the breath in our lungs, against fiends, against the undead and against stranger things from time untold."
-[X] "And it is a war that only I can, or at least, am willing, to fight."
