#imagine if lady barbrey dustin met some starry-eyed northern twink and it rekindled her belief in romance or whatever

[death-of-cats]

if i had a nickel every time an adult man in ASOIAF who is Going Thru It™ meets a younger woman or girl with a belief in stories which stands in for the human capacity for goodness and through knowing her is forced to confront his own cynicism and its limits then i'd have at least four nickels. which is a lot if you think about it.
