Davos

I'm really liking Davos. A humane pirate, with a distinct sense of fealty to his lord. Already the character seems unlike anyone else we've yet encountered, and full of potential. Stannis seems quite mad, of course, and Davos will probably have his loyalty tested, and soon. Anyway, this chapter, the first to feature Davos, begins with a memorable sentence that I just have to honor by repeating: "The morning air was dark with the smoke of burning gods." Good stuff.
