Arya tries to stop her and says that Gendry wanted to join the Brotherhood, but Beric explains that they serve the Lord of Light and he needs the boy. That is until Melisandre has two men grab Gendry and take him away. Arya doeesn’t like her just on sight, and based on what they’ve seen alone both Gendry and Anguy disagree. Outside of the cave, Gendry and Anguy are discussing some smith work they need Gendry to do, when Melisandre and her group come near. They ask Melisandre why she is there and she explains that they have someone their god needs. Melisandre asks Beric what he’s seen on the other side, but he says, there is no other side. And from that day on, he knew that theirs was the one true god and that all men must believe in him. Until the Mountain drove a lance through Beric’s heart and Thoros prayed for his dead friend, and this time the prayer was answered. He said the prayers, but it was just for show. Thoros tells a story of how he was a priest who didn’t believe, who thought talk of the gods was just to make sure children behaved. He only asks, it is the Lord who answers as he chooses. She is concerned about Thoros having that much power, but he demurs. She seems troubled by his appearance and is shocked to find that he’s been brought back to life six times. Thoros brings her into the cave to see Beric. She tells Thoros that the High Priest gave him a mission, to convert King Robert to a believer in the Lord of Light (like she converted his brother Stannis). Red priests commonly speak High Valyrian. She greets them with “Valar morghulis” (all men must die) and Thoros comes over and responds, “Valar dohaeris” (all men must serve). It’s Melisandre and some men from Dragonstone. As he gives her some more pointers, she spies someone coming. He tells her she’s not as good as she thinks she is, she needs to release more quickly and trust that her eyes will help her aim. Anguy is watching carefully and giving her advice. She is such a sweet girlfriend, she tells him if he ever betrays her, she’ll go Lorena Bobbitt on him and wear his c*ck around her neck.Īrya is practicing her archery, shooting at a straw man while reciting the names on her kill list, while Thoros and others from the Brotherhood look on. She lets Jon know that she doesn’t believe he’s suddenly given up being part of the Night’s Watch, but she does believe that he is loyal and will be loyal to her now that she’s his girl. Ygritte kids Jon about their first time, but you can tell the girl is smitten. Ygritte admits that she is too, but says she’s waited her whole life to see the world from up there (wonder if she has an interest in pissing off the wall a la Tyrion). They’re preparing to climb the steep icy monolith and Jon is scared. There’s Jon and he’s surrounded by wildlings on the wrong side of the Wall. He was on the wrong side of the Wall, surrounded by enemies. Just then, Jojen starts having a fit while having one of his visions and Meera runs over to take care of him until it passes. Bran’s sick of the two bickering and tells them to stop and they make nice. Meera talks about her prowess with a bow and arrow, Osha boasts how she’s good with her fists, and back and forth it goes. Meera and Osha are squabbling over who is better at de-furring Peter Cottontail, but they’re basically just fighting over who will be the queen bee of this group. I like a good hamburger as much as the next carnivore, but watching adorable little rabbits skinned makes me question my choices. Not cute is what happens to the rabbits in the next scene. He tells her how great Castle Black is and then he sings a sweet song to her and her baby. She asks him how much longer till they get to the Wall and what’s it like and when he tells her the truth, she doesn’t believe it. He doesn’t know what it does, but it is pretty to look at. Sam shows Gilly what he found at the Fist of the First Men, the dragonglass. But Gilly is strangely impressed by someone so highborn that they’re incapable of taking care of themselves. She tells him to take the big log off and, unlike 99% of the men, he actually listens and lo and behold, the fire starts raging. Gilly has lived her whole life north of the Wall and knows the fire needs to breathe to get bigger. He thinks when it comes to fires, the more wood, the better. Sam never lived in the wild, nor this far north, nor had to do much of anything for himself.
