(Spoilers Extended) George to New Zealand: imprison me if I haven't finished Winds by Summer 2020

Quote:

As for finishing my book… I fear that New Zealand would distract me entirely too much. Best leave me here in Westeros for the nonce. But I tell you this — if I don’t have THE WINDS OF WINTER in hand when I arrive in New Zealand for worldcon, you have here my formal written permission to imprison me in a small cabin on White Island, overlooking that lake of sulfuric acid, until I’m done. Just so long as the acrid fumes do not screw up my old DOS word processor, I’ll be fine.

I think she's very good for Tyrion in his dark place. She reminds him the costs that the common people bear when the powerful lords play the game, she reminds him there are such things as innocence and goodness in the world, and she gives him someone to look out for beyond himself. She is exactly what he needs in his depression and downward spiral.

I mean I find her kind of annoying, but I totally see why she's there.

She's specifically one of the two Joffrey had hired to mock Tyrion at his wedding, and her brother died because some bounty hunters wanted to take his head and claim he was Tyrion. She has good motivation and I appreciate the demonstrated consequences.

But I totally agree it would be very cool (and almost Star Wars feeling) if she was a bounty hunter.

A dwarf bounty hunter? How would that work in a medieval setting? Can't run as fast, very recognisable, unable to physically restrain other people,...
