Although he had more siblings than any other man in the Seven Kingdoms, Daeron made an effort to get to meet them when he could and found himself drawn to them more than hundreds of strangers likely deserved which partially explained his initial fondness for Great Bastards that he came across such as Lady Laena, Ser Trystane, and of course Ser Daemon Blackfyre. Ser Farman Flowers was not one of the ones whom he was particularly fond of given the many qualities that he shared with their father; however, the man had also proven himself to be a particularly intelligent and capable individual who had many uses. Daeron did not desire to make him a friend, but he had already had enough enemies that he didn't want another one either. Hopefully he would be able to convince Ser Farman to aid the Blackfyre cause by offering up carrots rather than resorting to his stick. Dirt on Flowers-Audience with Farman Flowers: 6d6k4+8 23

Ser Farman is not about to turn Daeron away, maybe he comes to apologize for throwing the punch?

For Farman he had no apologies, he considered the affair at Highgarden to be concluded with their duel, but he did have honeyed words.
"Ser Farman my congratulations on showing Ser Jarmen that a dragon is not a creature to be fucked with. I don't anticipate that he will offer you any further challenges in the future after your victory against him at Whitewalls.
However, I am sorry for your loss of Ser Jonothor. No knight deserves to be murdered in such an ignoble manner. Without him House Bridges has few fighting men upon which it can call, do you have a plan to correct this shortage?"

Farman does indeed have empty seats at his table, but there are always knights of the hedge and second sons of lesser houses and great ambition, and there are capable enough warriors to be found in Essos, perhaps not ones to be given spurs, but one need not be a knight to know how to properly wield a sword.

Daeron points out that there’s no need to bring in unreliable mercenaries and outlanders when there are plenty of knights here in the Reach. He notes that House Rowan seems to always have a surplus and that perhaps a few could be convinced to seek their fortunes serving House Bridges. All they would need is a small push to be convinced of leaving their current lord.

A few, perhaps, the ones Farman doesn't particularly need. Goldengrove is only behind Highgarden and Oldtown in what it's lord can offer to induce. Farman would rather have a Ser Robyn the Mauler say, than ten knights of high birth and impeccable reputation but middling skill at arms. Some of the latter he intends to attract for the honor it brings a lord to have such men in his service, Daeron's half-brother appears to have little belief in the merits of knightly ideals, like a pragmatist accepting that the rest of the realms places it in high regard.
The rest of the realms places some of Ser Farman's actions in a decidedly low regard, it should be noted.

Daeron allows some of Ser Farman's behavior to slide more than he would most others. Great Bastards were often forced to defend their own honor and their royal birth placed them above some social norms. He agrees that House Bridges can't match House Rowan in the wealth and land that it can offer, but should something happen to tarnish Goldengrove's shine some knights might be willing to find service elsewhere, some of which might be forged from the same mold as Ser Robyn. Daeron didn't see The Mauler himself actually leaving service from the Levalles, but perhaps if Ser Farman was bold enough he might be able to lure him away. Regardless, if he was bold enough Ser Farman might be able to drive a wedge between those lords and their retainers and claim some fine warriors for himself. All it might take is the right words in the right ears.

Where does the +8 come from?

Because I totally forgot that Chivalry doesn’t apply here. It should be +2 for 22

No such knight is likely to have any desire to join House Bridges at any rate, any knight being comfortable with Lord Rowan's politics are unlikely to approve of Farman's.

Ser Farman does his best to try and show sympathy with Daeron's opinions and desires without actually committing any meaningful assistance on his own.

Daeron continues to attempt to convince Farman that such actions are in his best interest and that of their noble cause.

As much as Farman voices his agreement as to the cause, he dodges the subject of the task falling upon him.
