9. Tyrion : Will the boy live?

-
Location: Winterfell
Characters: Cersie Lannister, Jaime Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, Joffrey Baratheon

Tyrion had been up all night in the Winterfell library reading some books. He was not one a much for sleeping.

Outside, he saw his nephew Joffrey with Sandor Clegane - the hound. He had a visor shaped like a black hound to cover his burnt face and has a bit of a temper.
Joffrey and the Hound mocked Tyrion for being a dwarf. On being asked if Joffrey had offered comfort to the Starks, Joffrey responded that Bran means nothing to him and he hates the wailing of women. This shows that Joffrey lacks compassion and empathy. Tyrion slaps him hard for this and Clegane says that the prince will not forget the slap. Will Joffrey hold a grudge against Tyrion?


Tyrion proceeds to breakfast where the Queen, Jaime and the children are also breaking fast.

Cersie looked at Tyrion with distaste. She hates Tyrion since the day he was born.
During all the terrible long years of his childhood, only Jaime had ever shown him the smallest affection or respect.
Tommen was a sweet boy unlike Joffrey. Myrcella had all her mothers beauty and none of her nature.
When Tyrion said that the maester thinks that Bran will live, a glance passed between Jaime and Cersie which Tyrion noticed. Bran had broken his back and legs in the fall and may live but will never walk again. Tyrion believes that his wolf is keeping him alive with its constant howling.
Jaime thinks that Even if the boy lives he will be a cripple. A grotesque. Give me a good clean death.
Tyrion has sensed that there was something fishy with Bran's fall and he is eager to know what the boy would tell when he wakes up.

Tyrion announced that he planned to visit the Wall with Benjen Stark and Jon who are going to the Night's Watch.
What is the relation between the Wall and the Night's Watch?

It smelled of moist earth and decay. No redwoods grew here. This was a wood of stubborn sentinel trees armored in grey-green needles..." Catelyn was anointed with the seven oils and named in the rainbow of light that filled the sept of Riverrun. Her gods had names and faces and were worshiped usin...

7. Arya : Needlework

-
Location : Winterfell Characters : Arya Stark, Jon Snow, Sansa Stark Arya considers her sister Sansa as someone who likes everything pretty and does everything prettily. Everybody said that Sansa's needlework was exquisite . Septa Mordane even told Catelyn that " Sansa's work is as pretty as she is ". For Arya she said " Arya has hands of a blacksmith ". Beth Cassel, master-at-arms Jory Cassel's daughter and Jeyne Poole, steward Vayon Pool's daughter were Sansa's friends. Arya addresses Jon Snow as her brother whereas Sansa consider him as their half brother and a bastard. As per Arya's thoughts, It wasn't fair. Sansa had everything. She was two years older. Maybe by the time Arya had been born, there had been nothing left. Often it felt that way. Sansa could sew and dance and sing. She wrote poetry. She knew how to dress. She played the high harp and the bells. Worse, she was beautiful. Sansa had got their mother's fi...
