About This Quote
Most of my kin are bastards," [Tyrion] said with a wry smile, "but you're the first I've had to friend." This is a clever and interesting turn of phrase. It is a rare thing for a character to be able to say that his darkest secret is that he has many family members who are bastards. Tyrion was happy to have someone he could be completely open and honest with.
