-
My son's a hunter. It helps him forget
-
he's never been within a mile of a real battle.
-
I seem to recall he laid siege to Storm's End
-
for the better part of a year.
-
All he laid siege to was the banquet table in the command tent.
-
I told him to stay out of Robert's rebellion.
-
He had no business fighting an actual warrior.
-
We mothers do what we can to keep our sons from the grave.
-
But they do seem to yearn for it.
-
We shower them with good sense,
-
and it slides right off like rain off a wing.
-
And yet the world belongs to them.
