On the banquet security roster, my name alone had been moved one spot further in. I didn't ask who changed it. Asking felt like it would get me an answer.
Ask. What goes unasked is the first thing that dulls a sword.
That roster never passed through my hands. No paper in this house has ever bypassed my hands.
A young knight moved further into the hall, isn't that an honor? Too much humility is its own kind of disloyalty.
