Summary
As I waited for sleep, my thought strayed to the methods used by the Nazhmorhathveras to hunt the sheleian that ranged on the steppes. No barbarian would have been foolish enough to try to take on a flock; though a sheleis resembled little more than a large stack of poorly cared-for carpets, the adults of a pack would vigorously defend their young. Thick of hide, dense of fur, tusked, and ferocious—the Nazhmorhathveras stalked the steppes in search of a sheleis that had gotten itself separated from the pack. A lone sheleis would flee, in the face of a hunter’s spear, and the hunter would pursue. Not at the desperate pace set by the sheleis; the beast could leave his sight, and still he would track it, at a steady and persistent pace. It might take hours, even a day or more, but eventually the sheleis would collapse from exhaustion, and the hunter would be ready when it did.

Summary
"The crown suits you, you know," said Ser Duncan over the cacophony, bringing Baelor back to himself. "Makes you look... you know. Kingly. Which I suppose makes sense, seeing as how you're the king now." A look of anguish crossed his face. "Oh, hells, I shouldn't be calling you 'you,' should I? It's 'Your Grace.' Please don't take—"
Baelor resisted the urge to rest his hand against the lad's back, as one might soothe a skittish horse. "No offense was taken, ser."
"Thank you," Ser Duncan said, then immediately amended, "thank Your Grace...ness. Seven fucks, I'm getting another drink." And he whirled away into the throng before Baelor could say a word.

Summary
No one in their right mind would ever seriously try to woo Lin Ronghu, the Emperor's infamously ruthless (if unofficial) spymaster.
Not that that's stopped the local legend, a (self-described) beautiful detective with peerless martial arts. His crush is a major inconvenience - at least until there's a murder that puts Lin Ronghu's most hated political nemesis straight in the frame. Since Lin Ronghu can't believe that anyone would be that stupid, he decides that maybe having a private detective around might be good for something after all...
