-
Well, enjoy your name day, Your Grace.
-
Wish I could stay and celebrate,
-
but there is work to be done.
-
What work?
-
Why are you here?
-
The raven arrived from the Citadel this morning, Your Grace.
-
The conclave has met, considered reports
-
from Maesters all over the Seven Kingdoms,
-
and declared this great summer done at last.
-
The longest summer in living memory.
-
The peasants say, a long summer means
-
- an even longer winter. - A common superstition.
