Alayaya scratches [[Osney Kettleblack]]'s cheek during her arrest, so the sellswords beat and bruise her. Tyrion promises that whatever the Kettleblacks do to Alayaya during her confinement, he will have done to Prince [[Tommen Baratheon]]. Tyrion promises to free Alayaya, and the girl kisses his brow.{{Ref|ACOK|54}}

{{Quote|'''Tyrion''': What do you do while I'm gone?<br>'''Alayaya''': Sleep. I am much better rested since you began to visit us, my lord.
