...his voice was like the cracking of ice on a winter lake, and the words were mocking

It's a big spooky place when you're in it alone. It's like you can hear all the whispers of all the voices of all the actors who ever played here. Kind of creepy. Like a church can be creepy when it's empty. You ever been in a church after hours?

Bleed a cold but feast a fever.

Nothing burns like the cold.

Winter is coming, warned the Stark words, and truly it had come to them with a vengeance. But it is high summer for House Lannister. So why am I so bloody cold?

Of course you know him. Everyone knows a pear-shaped man.
