George R.R. Martin Quote

The day before last, Jon had made the mistake of wishing he had hot water for a bath. Cold is better, she had said at once, if you’ve got someone to warm you up after. The river’s only part ice yet, go on.Jon laughed. You’d freeze me to death.Are all crows afraid of gooseprickles? A little ice won’t kill you. I’ll jump in with you to t’prove it so.And ride the rest of the day with wet clothes frozen to our skins? he objected.Jon Snow, you know nothing. You don’t go in with clothes.I don’t go in at all, he said firmly, just before he heard Tormund Thunderfist bellowing for him (he hadn’t, but nevermind).
