It's complicated, money. I figure the only way to truly be content with it is keep enough to live on and throw the rest at people who need it. People who hoard gold can't be trusted. What're you doing with all of that? It's just sitting there. Psht.

[He scoffs lightly.] The worst part of being stuck in one place and having that kind of a mentality? Everyone remembers you're a good tipper and feels cheated if they find you on a light day.

I suppose so. I've kept the ledgers at Winterfell for the past two years and it seems that most of the incomes in a great house end up going back to the vassals in some way or another. There's repairs to be done, lands to tend. I guess that's giving it to those who need it, in a way.

( Sansa is imagining Molly with a sack of gold flinging coins at children and if this isn't the image he intends, she doesn't want to be corrected. )

And do you make great amounts of gold back home, Molly?

[That is roughly the image he intends. Children, performers, bartenders, shopkeepers... Gold for everyone.

He gives a low whistle, just thinking of the moment Bryce handed them all that money in Alfield.]

Not with the circus, but after that went south and I started doing mercenary work? Ohhh yes. I'd never seen that much money cross my path in one outing. I hadn't even considered that a person could make that much money just killing things that need killing.

An honorable sellsword? I've seen princes with no honor and bastards with more honor than a man could stand. I suppose there must be a few honorable sellswords about.

( Sansa hasn't ever met any but she imagines they must exist, those sellswords with limits on who they'd be contracted by. )
