I heard a song once about a boy of modest means who found his way into the home of a very prominent family .He loved the eldest daughter .Sadly, she had eyes for another
.When boys and girls live in the same home, awkward situations can arise .Sometimes, I’ve heard, even brothers and sisters develop certain affections And when those affections become common knowledge, well, that is an awkward situation indeed, especially in a prominent family .But prominent families often forget a simple truth, I’ve found
? And which truth is that
.Knowledge is power
.Seize him .Cut his throat .Stop .Wait .I’ve changed my mind .Let him go .Step back three paces .Turn around .Close your eyes .Power is power Do see if you can take some time away from your coins and your whores to locate the Stark girl for me .I would very much appreciate it
