Jon's conversations with Tyrion and his Uncle Benjen establish him being slightly resentful of his illegitimate status but as an aspiring warrior with dreams of joining the Night's Watch for the sake of honor and duty and to become a ranger like his uncle.Ned also cements their relationship by responding to Robert's comment with an incredulous "You're calling me fat?" look, which Robert thinks is hilarious. After riding into Winterfell like a stern, proud king, Robert Baratheon immediately shows his boisterous, jovial nature and brotherly affection for Ned in three words and a laugh: "You got fat." Their time together in the crypts cements the first impression.Theon is eager to kill the direwolf pups and immediately goes to slit one's throat in stark contrast to Robb, Jon and Bran's impulse to save them.Bran, although troubled by the execution, doesn't look away and understands his father's reasons for beheading the man.As Bran keeps missing the target, Arya hits it in one try from behind and farther away. She sneaks out to the archery range where her brothers Robb and Jon are trying to teach their brother Bran archery. Arya is introduced as deathly bored by needlework.Sansa is introduced as sweetly accepting praise for her well-done embroidery.Catelyn's first scene occurs at the same time as Ned's, and she watches her children with clear love and affection.Why did you come treat with me?īlackfish: Sieges are dull, and I wanted to see you in person, get the measure of you.īlackfish: Aye, now I have. Jaime: You clearly have no intention of saving your men's lives. So you can either attack, or try to starve us out. I was born in this castle, and I'm ready to die in it. Why sacrifice living men to a lost cause?īlackfish: As long as I'm standing, the war is not over. But if you surrender, I'll spare the lives of your men, on my honor.īlackfish: Your "honor." Bargaining with oath-breakers is like building on quicksand. Jaime: We'll breach them, and kill every last one of you. Hundreds will die.īlackfish: Hundreds of mine. My nephew's marked for death no matter what. In the name of King Tommen, I order you to surrender, or.īlackfish: Or you'll kill Edmure. Do you wish to resume your captivity? Then why are you here? I don't see Sansa and Arya.īlackfish: Pity. I intend to serve as Hand of the King until my father returns from the war, and seeing as you betrayed the last Hand of the King, well I just wouldn't feel safe with you lurking about.īlackfish: I assume you're here to fulfill the vow you gave my niece. Unless you'd like to take it from my friend here. And yes, you will stand here and take it from me. Tyrion: "Dwarf." Hmm, you should've stopped at imp. Janos Slynt: If you think I'll stand here and take this from you, dwarf. Tyrion: I'm not questioning your honor, Lord Janos. Janos Slynt: Are you drunk!? I'll not have my honor questioned by an imp! Tell me, when your men slaughtered Ned Stark's men in the Throne Room, did you give the order? Janos Slynt: Joffrey is my king, the rest doesn't interest me. I suppose people who do believe that filth consider Robert's bastards to be better claimants to the throne than Cersei's children. Tyrion: That's good of you, but you have heard them. Tyrion: You've heard the awful rumors about my brother and sister. Janos Slynt: You know your sister better than I do. Tyrion: No, but who else would want to murder King Robert's bastards? She's always been a jealous woman. Janos Slynt: I never said they were the Queen's orders. Only, I hadn't realised peace depended on killing babies. Tyrion: I heard there was some trouble in Littlefinger's brothel the other night.
