Might have=past possibility?
“We are bound for Duskendale, m’lady,” Longbough told her, as he pulled apart his own trout with his fingers. “You would do well to ride with us. The roads are perilous.”
Brienne could have told him more about the perils of the roads than he might have cared to know. (A Feast for Crow)
Hi. Does the bold part “might have” have the same meaning and function as the “might have” in the following example?
~ What was that noise?
~ It might have been a cat.
If they are different, would you please explain why? I was told both of them refer to past possibility.
Thank you.
