Summary
Criston did not look up. “What do I have to live for?”
“The Queen?” Gwayne tries.
Criston hides her favor behind a map as he answers. “She belongs to the realm, not to me.”
Gwayne grits his teeth.
“For me then. I don’t belong to anyone yet.”
or
Alicent Hightower has already saved Criston Cole's life once. Maybe her brother will do the same.

Summary
“Did you forget the little encounter we had on the road to Rosby?”
Heat and putrid meat and a screeching doom at their backs.
“I did not.”
The simplicity of his answer had Gwayne scrambling for purchase. He thought Criston had gone mad, he thought his outward hostility had turned to a death wish. “Dragonstone and their dragons are just across the bay… what? Grown tired of living, have you?”
After having almost been driven mad by him, Criston now held Gwayne in the palm of his hand, along with all the answers the man hadn’t been able to pry from him. “Are you afraid, Ser?” he asked, and could hear the weight in his own tone, the subtle invitation to escalate.
Neither man broke eye contact, and Gwayne drew ever closer to Criston’s horse. “Worse, I’m rational.” His eyes were wide and round, a stormy mix of greys and blues, begging to be let in or let go.
“We advance.”

Summary
He sees it then—the look in Ser Criston's eyes, the look he's seen in many a man-at-arms who has ventured a guess towards what Gwayne might be, what he might provide on a cold dark night on a long campaign.

Summary
He couldn’t imagine that Lyonel would take kindly to having been passed over. In favor of House Targaryen, at that. “Seems to me,” he said gloomily, “he’ll either have forgotten the whole thing and will welcome me with unseemly quantities of wine and dancing, or he’ll skewer me on first sight as repayment for his wounded pride.”
“Ah.” Egg looked solemn. “Those usually are the two options with high lords.”
