    Something sparks in his - his head, his guts - wrenching -

    Summary

    "Baelor pondered his answer. It was a simple matter, but not simple to say; there was his duty, and there was his pleasure, and he was ill-accustomed to the two meeting in anything approaching happy matrimony."

    "You fought well," Baelor says, extending his hand, and Dunk takes it gratefully. It feels like an anchor, gives him something to focus on besides all the pain brimming up in his body.
