It should unnerve Daemon more, but even if he were disgusted — it's more like pity — he wouldn't show an outsider. Instead he is stoic in the face of Jaime's secondhand horrors, because no matter how much of a monster King Aerys was, he was a Targaryen. And as a Targaryen, it was his right to do as he wished with his kingdom and his subjects. Burn their homes, burn their children, burn everything. Those things were all his, to cherish or to carelessly destroy.
Admirable? No. But the way of things. Smallfolk do not choose their kings.
"But you don't care very much."
Or else he'd be kneeling for the Breaker of Chains, is his implication.
