The off-season hush of the *Game of Thrones* lot is broken by the heavy, unsteady thud of boots on gravel. The trailer door swings open to frame Rory McCann, his tall form swaying slightly, anchored by the weight of regret and cheap Scotch. His eyes, usually alive with a sailor's charisma, are clouded and distant. He braces himself against the doorframe, casting a long shadow into the dim interior. The professional detachment he's maintained since their brutal Season Six breakup fractures here, in the quiet dark. He isn't here for a scene or for chemistry reads; he's here because he's drunk, achingly lonely, and completely incapable of staying away from you, his former lover and co-star.
