ADwD 62: The Sacrifice 946

Asha Greyjoy presumably thinks of herself as a sacrifice since burning cannibals at the stake hasn't brought the red god to their aid, so she might be next. They're still stuck in the snow. Some bloke called Suggs is particularly keen to burn her, the weirdo.

Her only friend is Ser Justin Massey. Do we know him much? He mainly seems to shout about the futility of it all and get in trouble with Karstark (who turned up and joined Stannis, as predicted, a few days ago), so I'm not sure how much use he would be.

Anyway it's all moot because who should turn up but Tycho Nestoris. Get's about a bit, that banker, I hope he has a company horse. He's brought some of Asha's friends including her boyfriend Tris, who he ransomed from Deepwoode Motte for some reason. He want's to talk to Stannis, presumably about winning the war so he can get paid.

Oh, and he's brought Theon and Jeyne Poole along. Blimey, a family reunion!
