“They have my son,” Tywin Lannister said.
“They do, my lord.” The messenger’s voice was dulled by exhaustion1. On the breast of his tornsurcoat, the brindled2 boar of Crakehall was half-obscured by dried blood.
One of your sons, Tyrion thought. He took a sip3 of wine and said not a word, thinking of Jaime.
When he lifted his arm, pain shot through his elbow, reminding him of his own brief taste of battle.
He loved his brother, but he would not have wanted to be with him in the Whispering Wood for allthe gold in Casterly Rock.
His lord father’s assembled captains and bannermen had fallen very quiet as the courier told histale. The only sound was the crackle and hiss5 of the log burning in the hearth6 at the end of the long,drafty common room.
After the hardships of the long relentless7 drive south, the prospect8 of even a single night in an innhad cheered Tyrion mightily9 … though he rather wished it had not been this inn again, with all itsmemories. His father had set a grueling pace, and it had taken its toll10. Men wounded in the battle keptup as best they could or were abandoned to fend11 for themselves. Every morning they left a few moreby the roadside, men who went to sleep never to wake. Every afternoon a few more collapsed12 alongthe way. And every evening a few more
