Meaning of "in"?
“Because I did not tell him to spare her. I doubt I mentioned her at all. I had more pressing concerns. Ned Stark’s van was rushing south from the Trident, and I feared it might come to swords between us. And it was in Aerys to murder Jaime, with no more cause than spite. That was the thing I feared most. That, and what Jaime himself might do.” He closed a fist. “Nor did I yet grasp what I had in Gregor Clegane, only that he was huge and terrible in battle.”
Excerpt From: George R.R. Martin. “A Storm of Swords.” Bantam. iBooks.
Hi. Does the first "in" refer to Aerys's nature? (I.e. It was in Aerys's nature to murder Jamie) And does the second "in" refer to Gregor's quality? (I.e. Nor did I understand what kind of person Gregor was)
Thank you.
