stood with his head down, gazing at the marble floor as if he had quite forgotten where he was.
And what does this one want?
Dany wondered, frowning.
    â€œAll kneel for Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khaleesi of Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Shackles and Mother of Dragons,”
cried Missandei in her high, sweet voice.
    As Dany stood, her
tokar
began to slip. She caught it and tugged it back into place. “You with the sack,” she called, “did you wish to speak with us? You may approach.”
    When he raised his head, his eyes were red and raw as open sores. Dany glimpsed Ser Barristan sliding closer, a white shadow at her side. The man approached in a stumbling shuffle, one step and then another, clutching his sack.
Is he drunk, or ill?
she wondered. There was dirt beneath his cracked yellow fingernails.
    â€œWhat is it?” she demanded. “Do you have some grievance to lay before us, some petition? What would you have of us?”
    His tongue flicked nervously over chapped, cracked lips. “I . . . I brought . . .”
    â€œBones?” she said, impatiently. “Burnt bones?”
    He lifted the sack, and spilled its contents on the marble.
    Bones they were, broken bones and blackened. The longer ones had been cracked open for their marrow.
    â€œIt were the black one,” the man said, in a Ghiscari growl, “the winged shadow. He come down from the sky and . . . and . . .”
    No.
Dany shivered.
No, no, oh no.
    â€œAre you deaf, fool?” Reznak mo Reznak demanded of the man. “Did you not hear my pronouncement? See my factors on the morrow, and you shall be paid for your sheep.”
    â€œReznak,” Ser Barristan said quietly, “hold your tongue and open your eyes. Those are no sheep bones.”
    No,
Dany thought,
those are the bones of a child.
