A Storm of Swords – The Visitor

A Storm of Swords – The Visitor

Davos has been in the Dragonstone dungeon when he gets a visitor.
I think this is the first time I saw any real depth in Melisandre. Certainly, this is not the first time she’s talked to Davos, those scenes came off more like proselytizing to me. Here she seems to be opening up. Of course, we won’t know how sincere she might be until Dance of Dragons.
As for the picture itself I tried to make Melisandre’s ruby the main light source.

Then one night as he was finishing his supper, Davos felt a queer flush come over him. He glanced up through the bars, and there she stood in shimmering scarlet with her great ruby at her throat, her red eyes gleaming as bright as the torch that bathed her. “Melisandre,” he said, with a calm he did not feel.
“Onion Knight,” she replied, just as calmly, as if the two of them had met on a stair or in the yard, and were exchanging polite greetings. “Are you well?”
