In those years, "The rapscallion is distraught, and in torment, and of no utilization to anybody, in particular himself," proclaimed old Ser Harbert, the castellan of Tempest's End in those years. "The most considerate thing you could do for that one is to fill his cup with the milk of the poppy. There's an easy rest, and there's a finish to it. He'd favor you if he had the mind for it. " Yet Cressen had declined, and in the end, he had won. Whether Patchface had gotten any delight from that triumph, he was unable to say,not even today, so countless years after the fact. "The shadows come to move, my master, dance my ruler, dance my ruler,"the bonehead sang on, swinging his head and making his ringers thump and rattle. Ring-a-ling, bong dong, bong dong. "Master," the white raven screamed. "Master, ruler, master." "An idiot sings what he will," the maester told his restless princess. "You should not acknowledge his words. On the morrow he might recollect another, and this one won't ever be heard from now on. " Master Steffon had composed him to sing in four tongues. Pylos stepped through the entryway. "Maester, pardons." "You have failed to remember the porridge," Cressen said, amused. That was in stark contrast to Pylos. "Maester, Ser Davos returned the previous evening. They were discussing it in the kitchen. I figured you would need to be aware without a moment's delay. " "Davos... the previous evening, you say? Where could he be? " "With the ruler. They have been together for a large portion of the evening. " Sometime in the past, Master Stannis would have woken him, regardless of the hour, to have him there to give his insight. "I ought to have been told,"Cressen whined. "I ought to have been woken." He unraveled his fingers from Shireen's. "Pardons, my woman, yet I should talk with your master. Pylos, give me your arm. There are such a large number of steps in this palace, and it appears to me that they add a couple of each and every evening, just to vex me. " Shireen and Patchface followed them out, but the youngster soon became frustrated with the elderly person's crawling pace and ran ahead, the blockheadreeling after her with his cowbells thumping frantically. Cressen was reminded as he plummeted the Ocean Mythical Beast Pinnacle's interstate steps. Stannis would be apprehended in the Office of the Painted Table, on the Stone Drum.
