A Storm of Swords – Politicking

Sam starts doing a little bit of backroom politicking with several of the leading candidates. Having had no luck with Cotter Pyke, he moves on to Denys Mallister, with whom he at least shares a lordly background.

I wasn’t that happy with this one. It’s just Sam and Ser Denys standing there. On top of this, this was the first time I’ve ever drawn Denys Mallister and I don’t think I have his appearance down. Finally thanks to the monochrome fashion sense of the Night’s Watch, people tend to blend in monochrome.

But when he was done, the old knight shook his head. “I agree that it would be a dark day in our history if a king were to name our Lord Commander. This king especially. He is not like to keep his crown for long. But truly, Samwell, it ought to be Pyke who withdraws. I have more support than he does, and I am better suited to the office.”
