This was really good! Murtagh seemed actually caring and comforting, unlike Oromis. And I really liked the ending line. It was profound.

Funny coincidence, I always imagined the palace in Gil'ead to be decorated with red (because of Galby's red logo and the fact that Durza was there and red seems like it could be associated with shades), and surrounded with rose gardens, because a random soldier gave Arya a fresh rose that had to come from nearby.
