-Better-looking bitches than you're used to, Uncle. My mother's been looking for you. We ride for King's Landing today. Joffrey said to his uncle Tyrion

-Before you go, you will call on Lord and Lady Stark and offer your sympathies. 

-What good will my sympathies do them ? 

-None. But it is expected of you. Your absence has already been noted. 

-The boy means nothing to me. And I can't stand the wailing of women. 

-One word and I'll hit you again. 

- I'm telling mother! 

-Go ! Tell her. But first you will get to Lord and Lady Stark and you will fall on your knees in front of them and tell them how very sorry you are, that you are at their service, and that all your prayers are with them. Do you understand ? 

-You can't... 

-Do you understand ? 

-The Prince will remember that, little lord. Sandor said

-I hope so. If he forgets, be a good dog and remind him. Time for breakfast. Bread. And two of those little fish. And a mug of dark beer to wash it down. And bacon, burned black. 

-Little brother. 

-Beloved siblings. Tyrion said while rolling his eyes

-Is Bran going to die?  Princess Myrcella asked

-Apparently not. Tyrion reply

-What do you mean? Cersei asked

-The Maester says the boy may live. 

-It's no mercy, letting a child linger in such pain.

-Only the gods know for certain. All the rest of us can do is pray. The charms of the north seem entirely lost on you. 

-I still can't believe you're going. It's ridiculous even for you. Crsei reply

-Where's your sense of wonder ? The greatest structure ever built, the intrepid men of the Night's Watch, the wintry abode of the White Walkers.  Tyrion said 

-Tell me you're not thinking of taking the black. Said Jaiem witha smirk

-And go celibate ? The whοres would go begging from Dorne to Casterly Rock. I just want to stand on top of the Wall and piss off the edge of the world. 

-The children don't need to hear your filth. Come. Cersei said while leaving whit her children

-Even if the boy lives, he'll be a cripple, a grotesque. Give me a good clean death any day.  Jaime commented

-Speaking for the grotesques, I'd have to disagree. Death is so final, whereas life... Life is full of possibilities. I hope the boy does wake. I'd be very interested to hear what he has to say. 

-My dear brother, there are times you make me wonder whose side you're on. 

-My dear brother, you wound me. You know how much I love my family. 

 Cersei went to talk to Caitlin

-I would have dressed, your Grace. 

-This is your home. I'm your guest. Handsome one, isn't he ? I lost my first boy, a little black-haired beauty. He was a fighter too... Tried to beat the fever that took him. Forgive me. It's the last thing you need to hear right now. 

-I never knew. 

-It was years ago. Robert was crazed, beat his hands bloody on the wall, all the things men do to show you how much they care. The boy looked just like him. Such a little thing... A bird without feathers. They came to take his body away and Robert held me. I screamed and I battled, but he held me. That little bundle. They took him away and I never saw him again. Never have visited the crypt, never. I pray to the Mother every morning and night that she return your child to you.
