>>5801137<span class="mu-i">‘’Aye lad, I’ve been to Dragonstone before’’</span> wheezed Horren <span class="mu-i">‘’Once was with the Crabking, your grandsire…’’</span> he grew distant as he trailed off <span class="mu-i">‘’Don’t they still have dragons?’’</span> asked Aryn oblivious to the old man's wandering before Adam kicked him and the two departed in a flailing of mock fighting, Qorth simply grunted and drank deeply of some drink in a small clay jar.
<span class="mu-i">‘’I went as a sailor once’’</span> pretty Petyr ventured <span class="mu-i">‘’half a hundred sailors but not nearly enough whores or wharfs to dock in the shanty town’</span>’ he laughed through his pug nose <span class="mu-i">‘’that castle though is a sight, like every story you heard of the old conqueror and his dragons’’</span>
<span class="mu-i">‘’Word is lord Sandworth wants more than to send this Essos prince back home’’</span> Rickard commented before lifting his drink as the twins collided with the table <span class="mu-i">‘’I heard some knights say he might try and unify the baylords behind him and claim King's Landing'’</span>.
Lucos drank slowly from his own cup before responding <span class="mu-i">‘’As if the Septons would let him’’</span>
Rickard merely crooked an eyebrow <span class="mu-i">‘’you think the Septons could stop him?’’</span>
<span class="mu-i">‘’Yes’</span>’ was the only reply Lucos offered.
The certainty of his statement surprised you, the city of King’s Landing had long been the domain of the seven septon’s, a council appointed by the high Septon to safeguard the city with an army of the faithful at their back, no king had been foolish enough to try to claim the city in a hundred years, between the crownlander’s and the seven septons it was madness.
<span class="mu-i">‘’Word is lord Celtigar intends to knight one of your brothers’’</span> said Rickard changing the topic <span class="mu-i">‘’any truth to that? lad’’</span> you furrowed your brow, you had thought to earn your own spurs but no talk had reached you of knighting your brothers.
<span class="mu-s">Truth and shadow</span>
>There was truth in this, you knew it, Corly’s was more than old enough, it was only right that he should be knighted in this war and you alongside him. [Haughty]>Lady Grafton held your father’s heart in her hands and could make him dance if she wished, Blonde Jon was of an age and ready, maybe even Brown Ben if she wished it, it would certainly cement his claim as heir to be knighted at ten and three. [Cynic]>This talk was nonsense, Knighthood was earned not given in the crownlands, your Father was of a like mind in this regard to you, earned never given, lest it make a false knight of you[3/3]
