"How dare you assume t' know my life. My love life was far from promised. Do you think you're the only one that's tragic? Have you ever had to help him piece his memory back together after having his home an' family ripped apart? Have you had to watch him nearly die a hundred times an' risk not bein' able to protect him?" He pointed to his one bad eye, nasty scar splitting his face. "You ever go blind to protect him? No. You haven't because you'd rather run off than face whatever demons plague you. I feel him too, you know. His rage eats at me from the inside but I press on because I have to. If I hadn't been there when Ser Aymeric was stabbed in his own city, or helped him rebuild in the wake of the war. He didn't want any of this an' yet he stepped up while you stepped away. Do you know how many nights he stayed up waitin' for you to come back before he gave up?"
