#| plus he repeatedly gets cheeky about what he does and doesn't know with dany sooo |

[vorsakhal]

In my verses Drogo does know and speak a few varying languages. Having either learnt them through Captives, Dany, Mormont or varying traders. Whilst I wouldn’t call him fluent in them he knows enough to listen and understand when outsiders attempt to negotiate.

It would be foolish of a Khal to rely on the word of a slave or a fellow fighter for what was being said. He knows better than to place true understanding in someone else's hand, it’s a lessening of Power, it gives someone else an advantage he doesn’t have. 

The key, however, is getting him to actually speak it. 

Most of the time he wont. Having outsiders believe he’s ignorant to what they’re saying leads to them speaking more than they should around him. That’s an advantage. Not to mention he doesn’t think most people worth his time and, well, he’s more comfortable speaking his native tongue. 

Meaning gets lost in translation after all.
