A Clash Of Kings – Carry You?
“Think so?” The man lifted his spear casually and drove the point through the boy’s soft throat. Lommy never even had time to yield again. He jerked once, and that was all. When the man pulled his spear loose, blood sprayed out in a dark fountain. “Carry him, he says,” he muttered, chuckling.
A Clash of Kings – Chapter 19 – Arya
I feel a little guilty to have looked forward to Lommy asking Raff the Sweetling to carry him. After all, it’s a dark scene involving the death of one of Arya’s friends. (Even though he’s the one nobody likes.) But it was one of those dramatic scenes where I could visualize the scene immediately and hardly had to think about it at all when I drew it.
I think what really makes this work, as well as makes it terrifying is how little effort Raff is putting into this. It’s as if Lommy isn’t even worth the sadism.
