Game Of Thrones: 5 Ups And 5 Downs From The Dance Of Dragons

3. Davos Is Sent Away - Down

Davos and Shireen have shared some great scenes on the show, conversations free of all the political scheming, lying and subtext that most others have. They€™re just moments between two characters who are genuinely good, and who have developed a rather strong bond. When Stannis orders his Hand away from his army and back to Castle Black, it leads to the Onion Knight and his King€™s daughter enjoying one more heartfelt scene, and one that proves to be heartbreaking as well. The writing€™s been on the wall for a while now, but you know for sure something bad is going to happen when Davos finally leaves, after giving Shireen a gift (a miniature carved wooden stag) and telling her he can€™t wait to hear of The Dance Of The Dragons when he returns. There€™s no way he would allow what happens next, so that€™s why he has to go.
