Quotes

Arya has the hands of a blacksmith.^[29]
—Mordane to Catelyn Stark

Gendry: I'm a 'prentice smith, and one day might be I'll make a master armorer ... if I don't run off and lose my feet or get myself killed.
Arya: The next helm you make, put mule's ears on it in place of bull's horns!^[20]
—Gendry and Arya Stark

My lord, this is crude work at best. There is no art to it. Suitable labor for common smiths, no doubt, for men who bend horseshoes and hammer out kettles, but I am a master armorer, as it please my lord. This is no work for me, nor my fellow masters. We make swords as sharp as song, armor such as a god might wear. Not this.^[4]
—Salloreon to Tyrion Lannister
