Why on Earth – or rather Westeros – did you nominate Bran to be King?

See, this is where my intellect comes in. Those soldiers gave to me so much time to think when they locked me up after the death of their precious Queen. Everyone thinks I only chose Bran because "he carries history" or whatever nonsense I blurted out in the heat of the moment. But the real reason I chose Bran is because Bran is a huge introvert – I mean the boy's said like five words since he fell from the tower. So I figured, if Bran is king he'll leave the talking to me. And you know what a great talker I am. You think Shae went for the looks?

So to conclude, you wanted bran to be King so that you can talk more?

That sounds about right, yes.
