Blinkin', I love your idea for slaver-bait.  And Melisandre would love some intimate feminine companionship.<br/><br/>I also thought that she might have hired/persuaded some of you to help her in the war a few years ago where she tried to retake her homeland.<br/><br/>Maybe after that war failed, Lydia (and others?) helped her find new meaning in life by traveling with them?<br/><br/>Edit:  Use Magic Device +10 here.  :)
