“I’ve not seen anything like it before. Well— apart from Lady Meera and Lord Baratheon’s, I mean, if they look like that too, up close.”  “You would not have. It is work from the Iron Islands, made in the old style.”  “I did not think that—” Dunk catches himself, worried he’ll sound terribly rude. That Ironborn made things, especially fiddly bits of jewellery. “Lady Meera said it was good that I did not have gilt armour, but bad that I wore nothing won by iron.”  “We do not live by the Old Way in Storm’s End, Ser Duncan. Not even when my lady aunt was Lady Baratheon.”  Duncan looks at the antlers on the curving walls, rows upon rows of trophies. Lady Aeris catches his gaze, and the corner of her mouth gives a slight twitch.
