Summary
"Her smile, like a wall's crooked crack / In childhood homes, locked doors unlatched / I'd follow her down the darkest path / I'm a door mouse and she's the cat." - Honeyblood, 'She's a Nightmare'
The bride wore a pearl in her eye for her wedding day, and that was the least unusual thing about the whole affair.
Had one told Cregan that he would begin the year one-hundred-and-twenty-eight after Aegon’s Conquest welcoming the birth of his son, with Arra red-faced and sweaty and laughing in the birthing bed, and end it with his fierce wife dead in her tomb under the halls of Winterfell and a stranger standing beside him before the heart tree, he would have laughed and laughed and then drawn steel.
As it stood, no one was laughing save perhaps the gods, now. He glanced at his second wife again, as if he might have mistaken the pearl the first time. No, it was most certainly there. Besides the pearl, which was slightly crusted with blood and pus, and the horrific scarring that laced down the right side of her face, she was almost pretty.

Summary
Aemond seems to get on well enough without the eye, but he is so quiet some of the courtiers joke he lost his tongue as well. Lyra knows that is not true, because one day, while reading under a peach tree in the gardens, he skulked over to her. She doesn’t know how else to describe it.
He has great difficulty making eye contact- ha, ha- and walks very quickly with his head pointed down like a dog and his hands in tight fists at his sides and very long strides. It was so funny to watch him make a beeline for her that she nearly laughed, but that would have been rude, and she was a polite little murderess, so instead she read her book until his shadow fell across the pages.
“They say you’re a kinslayer.” He didn’t say it meanly, goading, the way Aegon would have said it. He said it in a tone that implied he thought this a momentous achievement for someone her age. Lyra supposed it was. When she did not immediately respond, though, she could sense his mood souring, and he crouched down near her, as if to get the attention of a dog, and snapped his fingers.
