[ Of course the day Edd gets his present, he has to complain about it. ]

When I asked the gods for something to ride on, I wasn't expecting anything fancy. I didn't want those eight legged things. Not a dragon, or even a Dornish sand steed. I was hoping for a horse that I won't lose in a snowstorm again.

What I get is that half blind garron from the Watch. I know it's that garron, because I fed it and mucked its hooves in the Watch's stables.

And here I thought the gods here would be different from the ones back home.

Maybe they thought that giving you something you're familiar with would make you feel more at home.

Is it really that bad? The garron.

[secondplacescrow]

It doesn't bite my face off nor is it lame, if that's what you are asking. It's just an old garron who veers a little to the left.

The Night's Watch have plenty of horse. It's just typical I just get the half blind pony.

Could be worse then, all animals also need love.

I've never heard of the The Night's Watch before, are you like the mounted Police or...?

Something's better than nothing, innit, mate?

Do you really think the gods will enjoy with just nothing, do you?

I'd hardly be bold enough to make any presumptions about the gods.

Lord John and I both got horses from home. His stallion is quite impressive. [ He's also quite impressive in her eyes. ] I'm sorry that you aren't pleased with your gift. You aren't at least a tiny bit happy to have a piece of home here with you?

It's a good half blind garron, which is more I can say for the other half blind fools in the Watch.

[ Which is about as close as Edd would get to say he didn't mind the garron, just annoyed by the gods. ]

Sounds as if he's not terrible, then.

I suppose you plan to keep him in the stables? I can help look after him when I'm there.

I received my throne from home, so I suppose we know which one of us they favor.

[In fact, he's sprawled out on the thing in Tyrhaus as he speaks, which is decorated with animal skulls, his sigil as king, and soft furs to pad it with.]
