Summary
“…is clever enough to spin tales that ease the minds of Daella and Rhae when the storms rage over the Marches? Who is the only one able to convince Aemon to close his heavy books and actually feel the sun on his face?"
Aerion let out a derisive snort, his lip curling.
"That is not strength, Daena. That is merely housekeeping."
She ignored him entirely, her voice rising, ringing with a fierce, absolute authority. "Who is unyielding enough to pull Father out from the bottomless, suffocating pit of his own sorrow, day after day, year after year?”
His breath caught in his throat. He stumbled a fraction backwards.
“And who," she took another step toward him, closing the distance he had retreated, "who is tough enough to take your cruelty, to witness your tormenting, to feel your hands closing around her throat… and still have the strength to see the boy underneath?"
(In which Aerion’s younger sister is set off to choose her husband, and they spend the night by the river arguing about what makes a dragon.)

Summary
"Angry?" Valarr echoed, incredulous. He squeezed her bloody hands tight. "Lady Arryn, you are a Maester in all but the chain. You just saved his life when I could do nothing but watch him die."
He pulled her to her feet. She was shaking now, the adrenaline crash hitting her hard. Valarr wrapped his arms around her, pulling her gore-soaked body against his chest, heedless of the mess.
"You are not just beautiful," he whispered into her hair, fierce and low, so only she could hear. "You are brilliant. And you are terrifying. And I have never been more proud to be yours."
(In which Valarr is betrothed to an Arryn girl who has a few scalpels and herbs up her sleeve.)

Summary
“Kindness?” he echoed, and the word sounded strange in his mouth. You watched him steady himself.
“This was never about gratitude,” he said. His gaze held yours now, unshielded despite the press of the hall around you both. “It was about what was right.”

In the beginning, when you were still soft with girlhood, newly wrapped in the comforts of being a wife and stiff with the weight of expectation, you had cherished his restraint as one might cherish mercy. His patience had seemed a gift freely given.
