In the chilly1 white raiment of the Kingsguard, Ser Mandon Moore looked like a corpse2 in a shroud3. “Her Grace left orders, the council in session is not to be disturbed.”  “I would be only a small disturbance4, ser.” Tyrion slid the parchment from his sleeve. “I bear a letter from my father, Lord Tywin Lannister, the Hand of the King.

And this is Bronn. Perchance you recall Ser Vardis Egen, who was captain of Lord Arryn’s household guard?”  “I know the man.” Ser Mandon’s eyes were pale grey, oddly flat and lifeless.  “Knew,” Bronn corrected with a thin smile.  Ser Mandon did not deign8 to show that he had heard that.  “Be that as it may,” Tyrion said lightly, “I truly must see my sister and present my letter, ser. If you would be so kind as to open the door for us?”  The white knight did not respond. Tyrion was almost at the point of trying to force his way past when Ser Mandon abruptly
