"I imagine the Hand sees his fair share of wealth," Kirth offers. "Think of the influence you'll exert over the realm." Lord Stark bows his head in thought.
"My cousin will follow you, Hand or not," Kirth says cheerily. Lord Stark warms at the sentiment, though the weirwood refuses to smile back.
"The king needs you," Kirth says delicately. "If you deny him, who will take your place by his side?" Lord Stark closes his eyes and listens to the Godswood.
