Bran Quote by George R.R. Martin
““Tell me that none of this troubles you, Jon...and I'll name you a liar, and know I have the truth of it. Jon drew himself up, taut as a bowstring. And if it did trouble me, what might I do, bastard as I am? What will you do? Mormont asked. Bastard as you are? Be troubled, said Jon, and keep my vows.””
