"My brother has certain ways of speaking of things, especially when the topic is how to respond to the injury or murder of a friend or relative. You may have gotten the impression that he doesn't care about anyone else, but that is not the brother I know. I would say also that in our world, the demonic kind do not cease to walk the path of destruction. They may withdraw for a little while out of fear. Maglor thought to protect Margaery by making sure Caedra knows there will be a price tag on any further interference with Margaery's life. But I do not think that anybody's actions, however well-thought-out, will stop the demon-woman from killing again. There is an anger in her, a profound desire to wreak destruction and worse, an allegiance to causing pain and death. She does not need provocation, and she does not need to be retaliating for a real or perceived injury to herself. Killing is simply what she does."
