[ What in God's name makes it look like Jaime watched Doctor Who?
Still, because he doesn't want it to be explained any further, he goes with: ] Uhuh. [ It's a half-assed answer, but half-assed is probably enough. ]
He's obsessed with the Targaryens, if that makes a difference. [ The Targaryens-- an old, rich family, renowned in the modern age for creating a cult centred around... well, the notion that dragons would be returning to earth, and that a) humans had to be sacrificed to fire to bring them back; and b) there were eggs hidden away somewhere in nature. The Targeryens had been noble, once-- Jaime did his research since joining Robert's flock of bodyguards-- but that had been centuries ago. Supposedly, the last one had died quietly in the ancestral home in the late 2000's.
But Robert is convinced there're still Targaryens out there-- purebloods, not initiates into the family. Apparently he had a girlfriend who ended up a part of the cult and died for it. Honestly, Jaime didn't concern himself with the entire history, but that's because he's very much a live in the moment sort of man.
And he wants to go to sleep instead of live this moment out. ] I doubt Robert Baratheon has the ability to conjure fire out of nowhere. [ He's not supposed to talk ill of the man he works for, but Jaime hates him. Besides, not conjuring fire should be a good thing, right? ] The ability to set something on fire in a drunken blackout, though? Definitely more likely.
