In the books

In that location is no budding attraction betwixt Grayness Worm and Missandei in the books, given that the book version of Missandei is only ten years old - the same age every bit Arya Stark at the time. In spite of her historic period, she is incredibly intelligent well beyond her years and serves equally a primal advisor and aide to Daenerys, although in the TV serial, she is shown to be reluctant to counsel her without prompting.

Equally for the plausibility of such a relationship, but because a eunuch does not feel sexual attraction, this does not prevent him from having human emotional attachments. In the books, some time later on Daenerys captures Meereen, an Unsullied chosen Stalwart Shield is the target of a revenge killing by one of the former slaver families. Daenerys asks how this Unsullied was ambushed lonely, given that they patrol the streets in pairs. She is told that Stalwart Shield went off on his own to a brothel, where he was ambushed. Daenerys is dislocated why a eunuch would visit a prostitute, and Grey Worm himself explains to her that "Fifty-fifty those who lack a man's parts may all the same have a man'due south heart." Stalwart Shield simply paid prostitutes to lay with him and hold him lovingly, to feel some sort of basic human affection after a lifetime of savage debasement at the hands of the slave masters. David Benioff described how the Missandei/Grey Worm romance grew as the series progressed: "This evolved, bluntly, considering these 2 actors who were supposed to take quite small parts just impressed usa. And so information technology became very interesting to u.s.: What if at that place was some kind of attraction hither, because it's near the ultimate Romeo and Juliet story. How is information technology possible for there to be a beloved story betwixt a young woman and a young eunuch?"^[twenty]
