Geron reflects on the fact that for someone who sneers at elegance Aedir has a pleasing way with words.

And he's entirely correct as to the fact he and his men are no more than a form of currency to buy victory with.

"My problem with the skull-collecting is they never really do anything worthwhile with them. They just stack them in piles, a child could do that. Why not make a sculpture skull out of skulls or make an actual skull throne since they love shouting about it so much? As for our part, we'll do what's necessary and pleasing, they're one and the same. So yes, let's move out."
