Buckthorn Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 After executing the NW deserter in AGoT, why doesn't Eddard Stark say something to Theon after kicking the corpse's head? Surely someone of Eddard's character would have done something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetrarch42 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Didn't Jon mutter that under his breath? Or did the others hear him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely someone of Eddard's character would have done something. I think Ned might simply be really uncomfortable around Theon... having seen him grow under his eyes, while also being duty-bound to execute him should Balon arise and all...

Usrnmhsnomning Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Because Ned kept himself at a distance to Theon and essentially Theon was a grown man anyway. Deserting the Nights Watch is a death sentence, and the guy was quite probably a criminal before joining the Nights Watch. I can see Ned obviously not being the kind of person who would look kindly on kicking the decapitated heads of criminals, but why bother telling off a grown man for doing so when you've spent the last ten years distancing yourself from him?
