Criston had told himself he would not speak, that he was not deserving of it, that Dondarrion did not wish him to and so he would not. An hour or so in, however, knees ragged and bleeding, dry sobbing for his tears had run out, he begged. "Ser, please." "You ask me again and I'll double the time, Cole. Your problem is you think if you're guilty enough that checks out the sin. Well, I'm tired of playing with you, boy, you hear me?" He reached for Criston's face in a motion filled with much but scarce of kindness. "Again."

Criston reminisces about the past before visiting Rhaenyra a second time.
