【人类与尸鬼的终极大战已经结束,权力的游戏却还在继续,不知多年以后的雪诺是否会想起临冬城时的生活,心里又会是什么感受呢?】
第一季 02国王大道 The Kings Road
上期回顾: [Winterhell]:
Jaime 和 Snow 的一段对话,完全可以看两个人都不成熟,Jaime虽然摆出长辈的架式以及春风得意的样子,显出Snow年少无知且初生牛犊不怕虎的尴尬,但此时的Jaime内心空空、玩世不恭,此时的Snow踌躇满志又前途未卜。这也许是为了和后来两人再次见面做的伏笔和铺垫。
Jaime :A sword for the wall?
Snow:I already have one.
Jaime :Good man. Have you swung it yet?
Snow:Of course I have.
Jaime :At someone, I mean. It's a strange thing, the first time you cut a man. You realize we're nothing but sacks of meat and blood and some bone to keep it all standing. Let me thank you ahead of time for guarding us all from the perils beyond the wall, Wildings and White Walkers and whatnot. We're grateful to have good, strong men like you protecting us.
Snow:We're guarded the kingdoms for 8,000 years.
Jaime :Is it "we" already? Have you taken your vows then?
Snow:Soon enough.
Jaime:Give me regards to The Night's Watch. I'm sure it will be thrilling to serve in such an elite force. And if not? It's only for life.
本期:
Arya: Septa Mordance says I have to do it again. My things weren't properly folded, she says. Who cares how they're folded?! They're going to get all messed up anyway.
Snow:It's good you've got help.
Arya: Watch. Nymeria, gloves.
Snow: Impressive.
Arya: Shut up. Nymeria, gloves.
Snow: I have something for you . And it has to be packed very carefully.
Arya: A present?
Snow: Close the door. This is no toy. Be careful you don't cut yourself.
Arya: It's so skinny.
Snow: So are you. I had the blacksmith make it for you special. It won't hack a man's head off, but it can poke him full of holes if you're quick enough.
Arya: I can be quick.
Snow: You'll have to work at it every day. How does it feel? Do you like the balance?
Arya: I think so.
Snow: First lesson : Stick them with the pointy end.
Arya: I know which end to use.
Snow: I'm going to miss you. Careful! All the best swords have names, you know.
Arya: Sansa can keep her sewing needles. I've got a needles of my own.
雪诺和二丫道别,并赠送了礼物。看得出来他们的感情很好,雪诺了解二丫,送的礼物也很适合她。但他们不知道的是,这一别,多年以后再见,变化之大,是当时根本无法想像的。
