"I didn't kill any. I was locked in a closet! For my own safety!" the boy grunted and folded his arms across his chest.
"History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose."

"They didn't exactly ask." Rodrick said huffily. "Anyway, it doesn't matter. We're off to King's Landing to kill those fuckers. What the hell are we dawdling here for. They are gonna get away."

Cedric spins and glares at Rodrick, "We are to find the body of the woman who died saving your royal pain in the ass." He spit onto the bloody field, "And if you slow us down, there will be one more casualty of this bloody, and pointless war."
Hawkeye licked Daeron's hand, but it was more out of anxiety than his usual happy affection.
"Well, Ser Cedric," Mikken said, looking at the prince a little uncomfortably. "I'll give the hounds the scent." He gave them the scent of Ustice Kettleblack's clothes, and they took off.

The dog turned around, several times, puzzled by the stench of overwhelming amounts of death.
Finally, among a piles of half charred corpses, the dog barked twice, having lost the scent to the bonfire.
"History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose."
"Good boys, good boys," Mikken said, calling them off the pile. "Well, Kettleblack may be in this pile, ser. We'll have to rely on his clothes to identify him - he wore the black stallion of Duskendale, didn't he?" They began moving the bodies to identify them.

Many of the bodies are burned beyond recognition, almost all of them in the black armor of the Basilisk men.
"History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose."
With help of a soldier, Mikken carefully removed every single body from the pile. "Best to leave no stone unturned, so to speak," he grunted. The dogs were sniffing around.

"Pointless?" Rodrick piped up, raising his voice, "What makes it pointless."

One of the dogs starts chewing on a human hand.
"History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose."
"Heel!" Mikken snaps, pulling away the hand. "Someone put out those fires, they're interfering with the scent!"
It took time and a great deal of confusion, but finally the fires were put out. Mikken gave the dogs the scent again.
