#Cristoncito?

Alys and Aemond's son is named after Criston

I just realized it, and I'm screaming, crying, throwing up

I just put together that the following two events happen in quick succession:

Criston is killed at the Butcher’s Ball

Aemond returns to Harrenhal and gets Alys (now visibly pregnant) back from Sabitha Frey

Aemond's dad dies while he is expecting his firstborn

And this is Aemond, of all people! I know we joke about how he's a momma's boy, but he's a total daddy's boy too. His dad is basically his best friend. He trusts him enough to confide in him about his traumatic 13th birthday, to tell him about his quasi-treasonous fraternal jealousy. Aemond and Criston spend so much time together in the training yard. Aemond's toast at dinner is so him mimicking what Criston did with Harwin, because he watches his dad all the time and learns from him.

Of course, of course Aemond is going to name his son after Criston
