so much time is spent focusing on how great of a warrior arthur dayne was, how chivalrous a knight, blah blah, but i feel like no one ever points out how goddamn Extra™ he was. i mean–
“Our knees do not bend easily,” said Ser Arthur Dayne.
he could have just said “we weren’t there” but all right
And Dayne, with Dawn in hand… The outlaw’s longsword had so many notches by the end that Ser Arthur had stopped to let him fetch a new one. “It’s that white sword of yours I want,” the robber knight told him as they resumed, though he was bleeding from a dozen wounds by then. “Then you shall have it, ser,” the Sword of the Morning replied, and made an end of it.
he could have ended that fight in ten seconds flat, but no, let’s break the guy’s sword then drop a fucking one-liner
“We all swore oaths,” said Ser Arthur Dayne, so sadly.
even in jaime’s dream he broods
“All knights must bleed, Jaime,” Ser Arthur Dayne had said, when he saw. “Blood is the seal of our devotion.”
“blood is the seal of our devotion” ok edgelord
With Dawn he tapped him on the shoulder; the pale blade was so sharp that even that light touch cut through Jaime’s tunic, so he bled anew.
ah yes, let’s impractically use a greatsword to knight jaime that cuts his shoulders to shreds because aesthetic i guess??
