George R.R. Martin Quote

Oh, I can see that, Catelyn said. Lord Tully is fond of song, I hear. No doubt you’ve been to Riverrun.A hundred times, Marillion the singer said airily. They keep a chamber for me, and the young lord is like a brother.Catelyn smiled, wondering what Edmure would think of that. Another singer had once bedded a girl her brother fancied; he had hated the breed ever since. And Winterfell? she asked him. Have you traveled north?Why would I? Marillion asked. It’s all blizzards and bearskins up there, and the Starks know no music but the howling of wolves. Distantly, she was aware of the door banging open at the far end of the room.

I wish I was home, She said miserably. She tried so hard to be brave, to be fierce as a wolverine and all, but some times she felt she was a little girl after all.
