He had never heard Davos speak critically of nobles before. Although Stannis had knighted him and given him lands, Davos was a humble man and he seemed to feel his lowborn origins precluded him from speaking ill of his social superiors. Stannis suspected the comment - though entirely truthful - was meant to make him feel better. He appreciated the gesture.
"You performed your part in the battle most competently," he said awkwardly. He was unused to giving compliments, but in this he was merely acknowledging a truth.
was a brilliant bit of characterization for both men.
Thanks for sharing!:D

I don't like Stannis per se, but I am always drawn somehow to repressed and awkward characters who don't know how to express their feelings.
Their friendship/whatever is very pleasant to read.

I adore how you characterize Stannis. And Davos, "Then if I have a daughter, I'll name her Cassana." <3
