Neither am I. I don't want them taking another shot at you or Tim. Or anyone else.
Thank you, for backing him. I didn't think anyone would believe it without the right evidence, but that Jem girl - seems pretty compelling. I don't know anything about her other than what played out the other night.
I'm sharing something else with you - because it's important and we need to be strategic on this if we want to survive.
I don't think Danny is the only pink, orange, or red-masked attacker.
Some guy named David? Another dream - vision - whatever the hell it is, but they're otherwise credible. Cross-reference the interest in knives, tall men, and the masks, and you're left with this: Zoro, Danny, and David.
It's not as much to go on as I'd like, but I trust both sources. People have gotten accused for less.
[like a fucking CHICKEN.]
Danny will get the votes - from the people who knew Embry, from Tim, you. I'm not worried about him getting locked up. This other guy, I think that's gonna need more of a push. I'm gonna back that play.
I would've wanted the same for me. It's hard to find your voice when everyone wants to smother it. With any luck, Tim might find some peace, however small it is.
( a beat of hesitation, for the information alicent had shared in private, but hawk has proven he's nothing if not a determined man, an iron backbone that doesn't soften. so: )
Alicent gave me his name. From what I understand, Daemon Targaryen has reason to believe he's guilty, and intends to have his revenge. You might not want to stand in the way of a madman's warpath. It rarely ends well.
If Daemon fails, then we'll deal with him. You'll have my support.
She could have turned away from helping me. Either of you could have. That's not a kindness someone forgets. Especially when I'm making more enemies than friends, lately.
Because you're not afraid to be bold, like some of the others. It's how we'll survive. If we're being honest ... I don't care if it was Jem's footprint, or Tiffany's, or whoever's. I'll whittle down every single one of Danny Johnson's allies until I find who helped him that night.
( hunt them ruthlessly, alicent had proposed — she's not above cornering him as he had cornered her, an animal in the steel maw of a trap. )
( the rest — it takes a moment to filter in, fingeritps twitching, thinking of the what if, what if, what if. what if it misfires, this time. what if she's spent up her one resurrection. what if she's dead before the time comes. what if even making the attempt takes more from her. )
It's complicated, but ... if I can bring Jacaerys back, I can bring Paul back. I just have to stay alive long enough to get the chance.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing about that. Seems like some of the people we thought were friends are having a moment of something else, too.
Took the words right outta my mouth. I don't care either - but the less murderers we got running around here the safer we'll all be. Let's hope it's three for three this time.
Can I ask you a personal question? This ability - was it something you could do before? Seems like it'd put a strain on anyone, especially if it's someone you care deeply about.
I'll do what I can to protect you, Alina. So will Tim.

Maybe Daemon's the one with the right idea this time. Better than waiting around to get picked off one by one. Unless he's innocent.
And if he's not? We'll nail him down, just like we are with Danny. I've got a better feeling about this go-around, and I'm not exactly an optimist.
But I am sorry about Paul. Do you think...you can bring him back, can't you?
