          But still, it was a well-known myth.

                            In a dusty old tome, there waited a tell the likes of which he'd never read before.

                              It told of a creature with a strong aversion to sunlight, and that also had superior strength compared to others.

                                      But draining blood from the living was something he didn't want to do.

                                              But he knew he couldn't behave like an animal and kill someone only for their blood.

                                                  (I think it's about time he's told of his betrothal to Ned's baby sister Alysanne.)

                                                      Okay. That gives us time to think on how she's gonna look like.

                                                          Got it. I think she's blue-eyed (I just love blue eyes even though I don't have blue eyes myself) and she's got a pretty fair skin. (So unlike Dorne, where she could get a tan.)

                                                            Martin compares Dornish people to the Moors, so they'd be Spanish basically. Makes sense they'd have a tan.
