Summary
‘Why’s he get you all to himself?’ he had mocked, like Satin was some resource the Lord Commander was hoarding. Jon does have me all to himself, doesn’t he? He thought. And he won’t even have me. Satin wanted to laugh. It was a mummer’s farce, truly. The tale of a fool, a whore, and a steward all wrapped into one. Part of him, perhaps the Fool or the Whore he could not be sure, wanted to wake Jon and tell him what Elyar had said so Jon could assure him that he would keep Satin all to himself, that he didn’t need to worry about the brute and his grasping hands. But that was madness manifested from being overtired and overwarm and too close to Jon. So, instead, he remained the Steward, rolled over, and waited for sleep to take him.
(Most men of Night's Watch leave Satin well enough alone other than a few jeers and japes about his past life as a whore. But a new Black Brother takes his past as an invitation and learns the hard way that Satin is not to be pawed at when the Lord Commander gets involved. Jon and Satin finally have a -somewhat- open conversation.)
