The rushes were scratchy under the soles of his bare feet. “My cousin chooses a queer hour to come visiting,” Tyrion told a sleep-befuddled Podrick Payne, who’d doubtless expected to be well roasted for waking him. “See him to my solar and tell him I’ll be down shortly.” It was well past midnight, he judged from the black outside the window. Does Lancel think to find me drowsy1 and slow of wit at this hour? he wondered. No, Lancel scarce thinks at all, this is Cersei’s doing. His sister would be disappointed. Even abed, he worked well into the morning-reading by the flickering2 light of a candle, scrutinizing4 the reports of Varys’s whisperers, and poring over Littlefinger’s books of accounts until the columns blurred5 and his eyes ached. He splashed some tepid6 water on his face from the basin beside his bed and took his time squatting7 in the garderobe, the night air cold on his bare skin. Ser Lancel was sixteen, and not known for his patience. Let him wait, and grow more anxious in the waiting. When his bowels8 were empty, Tyrion slipped on a bedrobe and roughed his thin flaxen hair with his fingers, all the more to look as if he had wakened from sleep. Lancel was pacing before the ashes of the hearth10, garbed11 in slashed12 red velvet13 with black silk undersleeves, a jeweled dagger
