They are still unblooded, Catelyn thought as she watched Lord Bryce goad Ser Robar into juggling a brace of daggers. It is all a game to them still, a tourney writ large, and all they see is the chance for glory and honor and spoils. They are boys drunk on song and story, and like all boys, they think themselves immortal.
“War will make them old,” Catelyn said, “as it did us. I pity them.”
“Why?” Lord Rowan asked her. “Look at them. They’re young and strong, full of life and laughter. Why pity?”
“Because it will not last,” Catelyn answered, sadly. “Because they are the knights of summer, and winter is coming.”

i'm paul. i love characters who kick ass and get their asses kicked by narrative. blood, guts, time travel and romance. alien invasions and getting ice cream during zombie apocalypses. parallel universe double dates, bring your own guns. blonde versus brunette versus dragons. spaceships. in everything. all the time. boy girl ghost robot and or undecided polygons. period pieces with, but not limited to: dinosaurs, witches, spies, gunslingers. mystical island power struggles. and terminators.
