Chaos is a ladder...

So how much to you think Little Fingers butt tightened up after hearing Bran make that statement? lol
I am of the mind that it came to him. Something he saw, but didnt remember he saw and it came back to him and he just kind of said it as he remembered it. Which scared LF and you are right, not something Bran should have said out loud. Although, he (Bran) may already know how any interaction with LF will play out. Has he already seen LF's death? Its hard to know what Bran knows at this point. I was under the impression that Bran could only see what was near the Weirwood trees. I dont think there are Weirwoods in Kings Landing and that is where LF said "Chaos is a Ladder. I could be wrong about no Weirwoods in KL though, but pretty sure it was mentioned that all the Weirwoods in the south had been cut down or burned by the First Men before they made piece with the CotF.Lluid wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 9:43 amSo why would Bran say that ? Is it because he didn't really think about it, talked as it surfaced from his memory ? Or is it because he's already starting to play a game with LF, with the ultimate goal of using LF skills for the greater good (who knows how) or maybe just eliminating LF without loosing the vale support ?
True love for Sansa is not on LF's mind. He loves what he thinks a marriage to her could get him...with Jon out of the way that is. LF wants the Iron Throne, and being the Warden of the North is a good start for him. I cant wait until he dies.Lluid wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 9:43 amBy rewatching the "Chaos is a ladder" scene in S03E06, I noticed that LF cites "love" in the list of "illusions" that lead some people to fall, and claims "only the ladder is real". It reinforces my intuition that he doesn't really "love" Sansa, but claims it so that he can mislead her. Now Bran should be aware of that too. Thoughts ?

Drawing in those cheeks by half the diameter of a crown? (Not British.)Grandmaester Flash wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2017 6:43 pmAs an old acquaintance of mine used to say,
"I bet his arse went: tanner, half a crown".

Not quite. It's a reference to the relative size of the, er, adjacent orifice.
Based on what he said in S07E03, Bran "can see everthing that's hever happened to everyone, everything that's happening right now". So he probably can't see the future, but he can see anything even far from Weirwood trees. It's probably different in the books.
