Poor Dany. The Pureborn of Qarth are only interested in her dragons; they're not going to give her any money or ships or swords. How is she ever going to claim the Iron Throne? Even the wealth merchant Xaro Xhoan Daxos, who is giving her free board and lodgings and wants to marry her isn't interested in her body. It turns out if he marries her he'll get a free dragon and become the most powerful person in the city.
Dany also notices she doesn't know how to train dragons, which could be a problem when she's hoping to use them to rain fire from above onto the seven kingdoms.
Somehow because of the dragons magicians can do better tricks. That thing with the fire ladder looked like it might have been real magic, but then again David Copperfield made the Eiffel Tower disappear... If it is real magic, could the dragons also be making shadow assassins possible? Or are the dragons a symptom of whatever it is that's making the other weird stuff happen? Will we get a proper SFnal explanation for all this or is it all just gods and mysterious forces?
Anyway, the mysterious adviser Quaithe points out that Dany should leave before there is too much vested interest in her and her dragons staying, or she might be trapped. Good point. Dany does seem a bit out of her depth at times, unsurprisingly for a teenaged girl.
Ser Jorah thinks Dany should go east, just to get away. No idea how she's going to get ships or swords yet.
