A Storm of Swords – Symon Silver Tongue

A Storm of Swords – Symon Silver Tongue

Shae gets her friend Symon Silver Tongue hired to play for Lollys Stokeworth.

I’m not completely sure what Tyrion dislikes more about Symon. Is it because he’s a potential snitch or if he perceives him as rival for Shae‘s interests. Either way even though we only see him through Tyrion’s biases, I don’t see how he could be any less smarmy.

This scene turned out better than I expected. I’d done a design for Lollys a couple of months ago that I was quite happy with. I probably made her a bit less traumatized and more innocent than she is in the book. Since the only times we really see her is when she’s having nervous breakdowns in public from either Tyrion or Sansa’s point of view, it’s hard to tell.  Considering all the things she’s been through she deserved at least one moment of happiness.

“I told Lady Tanda about him, and she hired him to play for Lollys. The music calms her when the baby starts to kick. Symon says there’s to be a dancing bear at the feast, and wines from the Arbor. I’ve never seen a bear dance.”
