But he met his father quite often at court back in the day- and his mother, who happens to have a striking resemblance with her son. Especially the eyes. So the kid’s looks combined with the fact that a direwolf precedes his arrival… yes, Stannis is not a stupid man indeed. But this should be impossible, so he simply stares at the young king with a raised eyebrow for a second, trying to convince himself he’s wrong even though he knows he isn’t.
“It is not my property to trespass. But I would still like to know your name.”
