maesterleia: For @bidonica: Stannis Baratheon/Melisandre of Asshai “When I was a lad I found an injured goshawk and nursed her back to health. Proudwing, I named her. She would perch on my shoulder and flutter from room to room after me and take food from my hand, but she would not soar. Time and again I would take her hawking, but she never flew higher than the treetops. Robert called her Weakwing. He owned a gyrfalcon named Thunderclap who never missed her strike. One day our great-uncle Ser Harbert told me to try a different bird. I was making a fool of myself with Proudwing, he said, and he was right. It is time I tried another hawk, Davos. A red hawk.” - George R. R. Martin, A Clash of Kings -- source link
