Maybe we shouldn't stay.
You'd rather be out there?
There are a lot of stories about this place.
Horrible stories.
I always quite liked the horrible stories.
So did I.
Once.
You ever heard about the Rat Cook?
No. Who's he?
Just a cook in the Night's Watch.
He was angry at the king for something,
I don't remember.
When the king was visiting the Nightfort,
the cook killed the king's son,
cooked him into a big pie
with onions, carrots, mushrooms and bacon.
That night he served the pie to the king.
He liked the taste of his son so much,
he asked for a second slice.
The gods turned the cook into a giant white rat
who could only eat his own young.
He's been roaming the Nightfort ever since,
devouring his own babies.
But no matter what he does,
he's always hungry.
If the gods turned every killer
into a giant white rat
It wasn't for *** the gods cursed the Rat Cook
or for serving the king's son in a pie.
He killed a guest beneath his roof.
That's something the gods can't forgive.
