Which paraphrase should I go for?

“He stayed three days and hardly said three words to me. Would that he’d remained, I could have used his counsel. Our friends of Frey would not have dared vex Ser Kevan the way that they’ve been vexing me.”

Hi.

The “He” refers to Ser Kevan.

Should I paraphrase the bold part as “If he had remained, our friends of Frey would not have dared vex Ser Kevan ...”?

Or should I paraphrase it as “It is not typical of Frey/It is not in Frey’s nature to have dared vex Ser Kevan ...”?

Thank you.
