“Which king do you serve?”                 “I daresay that I have lost track, given the sheer number of them.” It is a dry question, borne into the air by an even dryer tongue. Had he a willing audience, Tyrion might have bothered to offer the thought enough wit to turn it into a proper joke, but the recent bloodshed seems to have thrown his humors off-balance. Half an age ago, he would have been ashamed that he could not stomach violence, but he has since learned that only cruel, unfeeling men relish in a fight, and he is better than that.                                        He has always been better than that.  There may be glory in raising a bloodied sword above one’s head, but one should not find delight in such things.

RODRIK WAS BLOODIED KNUCKLES, rough hands clasped tight around a mug of ale, voice as sharp as his battle axe. He hardly knew how to be soft, never properly learned to smother his edges. Nonetheless the grin faded from his lips, then disappeared entirely when he saw how badly Harras had reacted to his words —— he could not stand to see sorrow in those eyes. Death was not among his fears. Not his death, anyway. He was more than ready to face battle and perish, if that was to be his fate. The watery halls of the Drowned God would welcome him and he would gladly feast among fallen ironborn, an honor that should be met with pride. Harras would be there, too, one day, so they would be reunited, never to be separated again. There was nothing to be afraid of. ❛ Don’t be afraid, Harras. ❜ He said so to him, raising his hand to grab the side of the other man’s neck — a fierce grip, but painless — before he pressed their foreheads together. ❛ If I shall die, we will meet again once more. ❜  // HARRAS , CONT
