Podrick Payne: But wasn't he...? Lord Tyrion said he was...

Brienne of Tarth: Yes, Pod, he liked men. I'm not an idiot. He didn't love me, he didn't want me, he danced with me because he was kind and he didn't want to see me hurt. He saved me from being a joke. From that day until his last day. And I couldn't save him in return. Nothing's more hateful than failing to protect the one you love. One day, I will avenge King Renly.
