Winter is coming

❝ it is ill to keep a lady waiting. ❞ ❝ under the sea, the birds have scales for feathers. ❞ ❝ this is early to come calling, scarce past dawn. you should be snug in your bed. ❞ ❝ i had bad dreams about the dragons. they were coming to eat me.❞ ❝ so you see, there is nothing to fear. ❞ ❝ if the gods are good, they will grant us a warm autumn and bountiful harvests, so we might prepare for the winter to come. ❞ ❝ it is always summer under the sea. ❞ ❝ i’ll see to your breakfast now. ❞ ❝ they are clever, these birds. ❞ ❝ i should have been told. i should have been woken. ❞ ❝ i have climbed these steps so often i know each one by name. ❞ ❝ look at me! ❞ ❝ in the end words are just wind. ❞ ❝ you could bring him no hope? ❞ ❝ what am i to tell them? what must i do now? ❞ ❝ it’s swords i need, not blessings. ❞ ❝ the night is dark and full of terrors. ❞ ❝ only children fear the dark. ❞ ❝ i need no crown but truth. ❞ ❝ you are too ill and too confused to be of use to me, old man. ❞ ❝ i will not have you kill yourself in my service. ❞ ❝ i fear the bottom of the sea. ❞ ❝ where’d you get a blade like that? ❞ ❝ go on, take it off him, i dare you. ❞ ❝ hey, you gimme that sword. you don’t know how to use it. ❞ ❝ might be i got your attention now. ❞ ❝ hitting them won’t bring him back. ❞ ❝ someone should kill him! ❞ ❝ you look very lovely today, my lady. ❞ ❝ who do you think will win the day’s honors? ❞ ❝ did you hear? i’m to ride in the tourney today. ❞ ❝ did i tell you, i intend to challenge him to single combat. ❞ ❝ i lose! fetch me some wine. ❞ ❝ what a man sows on his name day, he reaps throughout the year. ❞ ❝ don’t be childish. ❞ ❝ we’re children. we’re supposed to be childish. ❞ ❝ i’m glad you’re not dead. ❞ ❝ my lady, i am sorry for your losses. truly, the gods are cruel. ❞ ❝ all sorts of people are calling themselves kings these days. ❞ ❝ i’d guard that tongue of yours, little man. ❞ ❝ what are you doing here? ❞ ❝ it would seem that a welcome is in order. ❞ ❝ a man after my own heart. ❞ ❝ please, do let me be of service, in whatever small way i can. ❞ ❝ how i have yearned for the sound of your sweet voice. ❞ ❝ give me your support and i promise you, we will have ____ freed and returned  to us unharmed. ❞ ❝ you have always been cunning. ❞ ❝ you will share all your plans and intentions with me before you act, and you will do nothing without my consent. do you understand? ❞ ❝ you should have been at the feast. there has never been a boar so delicious. they cooked it with mushrooms and apples, and it tasted like triumph. ❞ ❝ i hope he doesn’t kill anyone important. ❞ ❝ need an escort? the talk is, the streets are dangerous. ❞ ❝ i’m terrified of my enemies, so i kill them all. ❞ ❝ lawless men are everywhere in this dark time, oh, yes. men with cold steel and colder hearts. ❞ ❝ did you miss me? ❞ ❝ you’ll think of me every time you go to bed. then you’ll get hard and you’ll have no one to help you and you’ll never be able to sleep unless you … ❞ ❝ be quiet and kiss me. ❞

The winters are hard, but the Starks will endure. We always have.
