A Clash of Kings – No True Knight
The Hound leapt at them, his sword a blur of steel that trailed a red mist as it swung. When they broke and ran before him he had laughed, his terrible burned face for a moment transformed.
A Clash of Kings Chapter 53 – Sansa
Sansa remembers Sandor’s rescue of her during the riot. When she tries to thank him, he reacts harshly and once again tells her that no true knight would ever be as good as the songs say.
Once again this is a scene that has me wondering about Sandor. At first glance, this just seems like him rubbing his cynicism in Sansa’s face. But like the scene at the Hand’s tourney, he seems to be volunteering far too much information to Sansa. It’s as if he’s trying to get her close to him so he will be able to push her away.
