I think this sounds familiar, but I am questioning myself and wondering if this is something Sansa does for Dontos at Joffery's name day? Basically Sansa saving Dontos at the time.

Is this the only mention of Daenerys getting or using/wearing this feathered cloak? I searched a bit more but there's always that chance my search terms are off. Thanks A Game of Thrones - Daenerys VI Dany smiled shyly. It was sweet to laugh. She felt half a girl again. They wandered for half the morning. She saw a beautiful feathered cloak from the Summer Isles, and took it for a gift. In return, she gave the merchant a silver medallion from her belt. That was how it was done among the Dothraki. A birdseller taught a green-and-red parrot to say her name, and Dany laughed again, yet still refused to take him. What would she do with a green-and-red parrot in a khalasar? She did take a dozen flasks of scented oils, the perfumes of her childhood; she had only to close her eyes and sniff them and she could see the big house with the red door once more. When Doreah looked longingly at a fertility charm at a magician's booth, Dany took that too and gave it to the handmaid, thinking that now she should find something for Irri and Jhiqui as well.

Thanks

I cannot seem to find the quote by GRRM where he states something along the lines of 'X' won't have a POV because they know too much. Was it Littlefinger, or Varys, or Howland? I have searched but cannot find the source. Does anyone out there know of this source. Thanks a billion

The wiki says Reek's name is Heke and it gives the source as a Bran ACOK chapter, but I cannot find the actual statement that says this. Does anyone know/have the quote this came from? Am I looking right at it! And this Reek I am talking about is the first Reek to Ramsay, not Theon (naturally ). https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Reek#cite_note-Racok46.7B.7B.7B3.7D.7D.7D-2

Yeah, that is somewhat what I was thinking as well, just using the old godsy direwolf symbols/sigil (which is a magical term) instead.

Ooh, that’s good. Think of John the Fiddler/ Daemon Targ-Blackfyre that pops up along the road in D&E who is only there to commit treason, as Bloodraven so smartly knows. This is the moral question posited and recited in the Mystery Knight, “ Is the boy his father's son?" adding: Now that I think about it, this same story that questions treasons in un-rightful rulers (sons of) is where we are also introduced to the Frey’s and snot nosed Lord Walder as a wee child, who then later in life commits crimes against his king, and in TMK Bloodraven tells the Frey’s he will deal with them later... bring on Nymeria and her wolf pack!!! Also, GRRM has used this “sons of” treason idea before. In his story For A Single Yesterday, he has a rogue bunch of army dudes that were sworn to protect now out and about terrorizing survivors of a nuclear (dragon) blast. This group is called Sons of the Blast (SoB), but the good guys call them SoB’s for other reasons.

The last few days have been hairy and busy and busy. I thought I had that quote bookmarked, but I don't... but I have a general idea where it is and I will find it this evening. Sorry to keep you hanging

I also pronounce it Eeronwood. ETA I do know this is a play on Ironwood, as GRRM likes to play around with his spellings based on region and such. I pronounce the ‘y’. Alarmist Almost like ‘yawn’, but more like ‘yohn’ with not so much of the ‘aw’ emphasis. Does that make any sense?

I have a LeGuin quote I have been meaning to share with you. It’s at home in a book or I’d just paste it now. I’ll send a bird later

Watched most of this last night. Animation is amazing in many of these stories. Some really good little tales. I plan on a rewatch of a few episodes because I was distracted quite often and missed a few things that I really didn’t want to miss.

I always assumed his minion was honored as Lemore. But you could be more right than I. Nice!

Brilliant!

Thanks. I hate to sound bossy, but figured I'd ask. --Leech

This may be more of a small question, but, can the page number line on each thread be lightened on the phone version? I am on my phone a lot because of work, and the page number boxes for each thread on the index pages are really bulky and dark, which takes away from the visual ease of scanning to see what the thread title is and which thread you've already read or not. The numbers just seems too visually important when they aren't. I have no idea if it looks this way on tablets, but on my laptop the thread page numbers are a lighter grey (and easier to scan the forum page). Thanks, TF Leech
