Re: Who said that?

Since you're a vile trickster I'm going to take a different angle on this and go for someone who isn't connected with the Dothraki/Dany side of things but who might speculate on what the stars are. My guess is Samwell Tarly.

You're on the right continent, but Sam is incorrect.

At first I was wondering if it was a song a little bird sang to a dog and was going to go with said little bird.

Then I noticed this:

So, just for giggles, it sounds a bit like something Tyrion might say when scheming.

Tyrion.

Re: Who said that?

Hmmm...

Thinking who would have been out looking at the stars on that continent and is a POV.

Arya?

Re: Who said that?

I can picture Tyrion on the Wall looking at the stars and I could picture Arya listening to the wolves and gazing into the night sky.... Both are wrong.

Re: Who said that?

Since you liked my guess of Robert and it's a POV, I'll guess Ned?

Neither Ned nor Jon.

Re: Who said that?

Could it be Theon? Theon, it rhymes with peon.

Re: Who said that?

Theon is correct. Theon, it rhymes with crayon...

On page 927 of my American paperback, 2000 edition, Theon and Black Lorren are watching the aftermath of Ramsay's surprise attack upon Ser Rodrick.

Quote:
The crows came in the blue dusk with the evening stars. "The Dothraki believe the stars are the spirits of the valiant dead," Theon said. Maester Luwin had told him that, a long time ago.

Re: Who said that?

Winterfell rhymes with go to hell.

Jaime rhymes with fame.

Lannister rhymes with bannister.

Dornish rhymes with Cornish.

Kvothe rhymes with quoth.

Druss rhymes with moose.

Smeagol rhymes with beagle.

Asha rhymes with Yara.

It's easy...
