Selyse Baratheon

I especially, like, one of my favorite things that happens in these stupid books, and it might be a favorite because it seems to happen so rarely these days, is when people converge, like characters that you've known from different places.

So I kind of love this with John meeting Selyse for the first

time

as she arrives at Castle Black.

Yes, me too.

I love that.

I do not care for Selyse at all.

No.

Around him, his counselors are gathered.

Melisandre, Selyse, and Alex Florent on one side, while Davos Seaworth and Ned Stark stand on the other.

The lords of the Stormlands hesitate to support their true king, swayed by Renly and his promises.

Yet we've taken a foothold with the Tarth, Penrose, and Swan, and I intend to move before Renly strengthens his hold with the Tyrells.

But all around him, Queensmen rally to Melisandre's side.

They shout how Ned is an unbeliever, calling for him to be burned.

Even Seraxel and Selyse voice their support.

My lord, you cannot allow such arrogance to go unpunished.
