Kindle Notes & Highlights
Do you have a name, thief?” The boy hesitated. “Egg,” he said. Dunk did not laugh. His head does look like an egg.
😭🤚
“I’m Tanselle,” she laughed. “Tanselle Too-Tall, the boys used to call me.” “You’re not too tall,” Dunk blurted out. “You’re just right for …” He realized what he had been about to say, and blushed furiously. “For?” said Tanselle, cocking her head inquisitively. “Puppets,” he finished lamely.
Someone help him I beg 😭
Prince Aerion paid them no mind. “Impudent little wretch,” he said to Egg, spitting a mouthful of blood at the boy’s feet. “What happened to your hair?” “I cut it off, brother,” said Egg. “I didn’t want to look like you.”
I need egg and ben blackwood in the same room NOW
“It’s short for Aegon. My brother Aemon named me Egg, he’s off at the Citadel now, learning to be a maester. And Daeron sometimes calls me Egg as well, and so do my sisters.”
OH OH THATS MAESTER AEMON’S EGG OMFG
For what it’s worth, Ser Duncan, you have little to fear from me. The only thing I like less than horses are swords. Heavy things, and beastly sharp. I’ll do my best to look gallant in the first charge, but after that … well, perhaps you could strike me a nice blow to the side of the helm. Make it ring, but not too loud, if you take my meaning. My brothers have my measure when it comes to fighting and dancing and thinking and reading books, but none of them is half my equal at lying insensible in the mud.”
I kinda fw him
“Egg has the truth of it. Aerion’s quite the monster. He thinks he’s a dragon in human form, you know. That’s why he was so wroth at that puppet show. A pity he wasn’t born a Fossoway, then he’d think himself an apple and we’d all be a deal safer, but there you are.”
💀
“Ser Raymun, if you please.” He cantered up, a grim smile lighting his face beneath his plumed helm. “My pardons, ser. I needed to make a small change to my sigil, lest I be mistaken for my dishonorable cousin.” He showed them all his shield. The polished golden field remained the same, and the Fossoway apple, but this apple was green instead of red. “I fear I am still not ripe … but better green than wormy, eh?”
Omg THIS is the origin of the green vs red apple fossoways
Oak and iron guard me well, or else I’m dead, and doomed to hell.
the Targaryens were the blood of the dragon, and their ends were writ in flame.
“I could teach them the arms of the great houses, and how Queen Alysanne convinced King Jaehaerys to abolish the first night. And they could teach me which weeds are best for making poisons, and whether those green berries are safe to eat.”
Boom, king material
Outwitted by a boy of ten. Dunk looked at Egg and silently mouthed the words clout in the ear. The boy grinned.
They’re so siblings
A thin finger of sweat crept down Dunk’s chest. He found himself wishing devoutly that his liege lord would keep quiet. It is too hot for talk. It is too hot for riding. It is just too bloody hot.
Me when I’m overstimulated
“My first husband perished on the Redgrass Field. My father found me others, but the Stranger took them too. I no longer trust in men, no matter how ample they may seem. I trust in stone and steel and water. I trust in moats, ser, and mine will not go dry.”
I support women’s right and women’s wrongs idc she can have the water
there’s a drought. Even if he was a rebel once, Ser Eustace still needs water.” The Red Widow rose, and smoothed her skirts. “He had best pray for rain, then.”
COLDmoat fr
Fire and Blood were the words of House Targaryen, but Dunk once heard Ser Arlan say that Aegon’s should have been, Wash Her and Bring Her to My Bed.
DIABOLICAL
Dunk held his breath … and his piss.
Go piss girl
“It makes no matter what I dream. Only a king can make a Kingsguard knight.” “I suppose that means I’ll have to take the throne, then. I would much rather be teaching you to fiddle.”
Fruity undertones
Gormon Peake and Black Tom Heddle had been impaled on spears, with their shields displayed beneath them. Three castles, black on orange. The man who slew Roger of Pennytree.
RAHHHH KARMA’S A BITCH
