A Dance With Dragons
While the Sloe-Eyed Maid was in Pentos, the Braavosi oarsman heard from the captain's steward that the captain had refused to transport Daenerys Targaryen from Qarth, claiming that spices were more profitable and less dangerous than dragons.[1]
The oarsman later recounts this tale to Ser Davos Seaworth at the Lazy Eel in White Harbor.[1]
Quotes
When we were down in Pentos we moored beside a trader called the Sloe-Eyed Maid, and I got to drinking with her captain's steward. He told me a pretty tale about some slip of a girl who come aboard in Qarth, to try and book passage back to Westeros for her and three dragons. Silver hair she had, and purple eyes. ‘I took her to the captain my own self,' this steward swore to me, ‘but he wasn't having none of that. There's more profit in cloves and saffron, he tells me, and spices won't set fire to your sails.'[1]
