throwing a temper tantrum because he hasn't joined dear old dad @ scorched.

[edric]

What do you mean you haven't decided? It's been months and I'm tired of waiting for your decision, my lady. I want to be with my father, uncle Renly and Shireen. Yet you keep wasting time! Do you even care where I go anymore? Do you even care about me?

No, of course not.

And I thought that uncle Stannis and that vile red woman hated me more...

Maybe... she is being nice?

[edric]

Nice? Cousin, how is keeping me waiting considered 'nice'?

[a_summer_child]

But, Anatole can be, well, scary at times.

[edric]

I'm not afraid, Shireen! I'm brave like my father.

[a_summer_child]

[...

Shireen has not really seen him be brave.]

Mine father did find a bigger house, I think, so everyone can live together.

[edric]

[He frowns. Living with Stannis isn't exactly ideal to him.]

Does my father live with you? Surely he has his own home.

[a_summer_child]

Where else would he live?

[edric]

In a castle...with lots of servants! Not with uncle Stannis....

[a_summer_child]

It is not like home though... I am not even sure that uncle Robert works.

[edric]

What do you mean he doesn't work? He's the king. He's always working.

[a_summer_child]

He hunts? ... but the thing he hunted... came back to life.

And he's not the only king. There are other kings from other places too.

[edric]

You must be mistaken. I'm sure he does more than hunt. Yes, of course he does. [Edric nods. His cousin is wrong.]

It doesn't matter if other kings are present. Father is the king of Westeros.

[a_summer_child]

He eats and sleeps too?

But... he was not is.

[edric]

[But.] So my father is a slob. Not a king.

Some father he is....

[a_summer_child]

Well- [Yes.] He is good with weapons?

[edric]

It doesn't matter. He's still a slob. I don't want a slob for a father.

My father is a king and a brave warrior.

[a_summer_child]

But, a warrior can be a slob, can they not?

[the_bull]

Better, if you ask me, if they just let you be.

[edric]

Perhaps. But what you've said...that doesn't sound like my father at all.

Maybe that's why my mundane refuses to tell me about him.

[edric]

Why's that? She can't just leave me be.

[a_summer_child]

If she sends you to Anatole... [You'll see first hand ):]

[the_bull]

Why not? You want to go be bothered by the likes of them?

[edric]

What will happen? Tell me.

[edric]

They're my kin. Why would I not want to see them?

[He stares at Gendry.] My lady mundane is giggling. Who are you?

[the_bull]

Have to go into a game to do that.

[...] Gendry. Why, who're you?
