“It makes the men hungry for a larger helping1.” But Davos had been more interested in what the captives had to say about the defenses at King’s Landing. The dwarf3 had been busy building some sort of boom to close off the mouth of the river, though the fishermen differed as to whether the work had been completed or not. He found himself wishing it had. If the river was closed to them, Ser Imry would have no choice but to pause and take stock. The sea was full of sound: shouts and calls, warhorns and drums and the trill of pipes, the slap of wood on water as thousands of oars4 rose and fell. “Keep line,” Davos shouted. A gust5 of wind tugged6 at his old green cloak. A jerkin of boiled leather and a pothelm at his feet were his only armor. At sea, heavy steel was as like to cost a man his life as to save it, he believed. Ser Imry and the other highborn captains did not share his view; they glittered as they paced their decks. Harridan7 and Seahorse had slipped into their places now, and Lord Celtigar’s Red Claw beyond them. To starboard of Allard’s Lady Marya were the three galleys8 that Stannis had seized from the unfortunate Lord Sunglass, Piety10, Prayer, and Devotion, their decks crawling with archers11. Even Swordfish was closing, lumbering12 and rolling through a thickening sea under both oars and sail. A ship of that many oars ought to be much faster, Davos reflected with disapproval13
