34:49 (+3) Davos Seaworth:

Davos tracks down Gendry in King's Landing. "I wasn't sure I'd find you. Thought you might still be rowing. I looked in shops, taverns, brothels. Should have known to come straight to the Street of Steel." (Secret Discovery)

Definitely deserves some points, but maybe this should be under convincing argument -kevinpetsky

If he weren't the one in charge making the decision, and that line swayed the decision-maker, it'd be a convincing argument. IMO, this is the right category for this. Whether his decision was convincing or not we shall see. -dopeghoti

More of a semantics issue, but I switched this from Executive to Convince. I took this more of a line to Gendry who doesn't work with the Brotherhood - it's not a command that Gendry fall in line but attempting to convince Gendry that his beef doesn't matter as the White Walkers are the true enemy. -nyan
