Summary
The child, such as it was, would not weep.
He, Larys, wailed, yes, he sobbed— but never once wept. Even in his infancy he would not allow his tears to be solemn or grand, or grateful, or polite. He would scream for his rightful keep. He would twist the nipple of his wet nurse in his tiny red fist until it bruised, and she would have to hide her grin. More, he seemed to always be saying, more. He would howl with the gargoyles and spoil the household’s suppers. They all thought he would die. Some of them might have even hoped for it.
No— he would take what he required.
A troubled boyhood, taxidermied.
