"Hello my sweetie pie" Liz says, lifting Jonathan into her arms and walking around the room. Joanna is fast asleep after just being fed and Jonathan has just woken up.

"I love them so much" Sansa says, smiling down at Jo.

"As do I. I've just remembered something, sorry, I need to speak to father. See you later Sansa. And remember to finish your packing before tonight," she says and puts Jon back into his cradle. She makes her way over to the tower of the hand and passes yoren of the nights watch and says hello before continuing up the steps. "Father, I hope I'm not disturbing you. I heard about daenerys being pregnant and I heard from yoren there about tyrion. Why has lady catelyn captured tyrion? He would never do anything"

"There was an assassin sent to kill bran, Lord baelish said the dagger was his but he lost it to tyrion"

"Listen, you have been lied to. It wasn't tyrion, what would tyrion want with a valyrian steel dagger and why would he do such a stupid thing. If the lannisters wanted bran dead he would be dead. Don't trust littlefinger, if you do you'll end up dead. Hell, pycelle would be a better ally and he's a Lannister creature through and through" she says just as there is another knock on the door and littlefinger comes in. Speak of the devil

"Forgive me my Lord, my lady. I have something I want to speak to you about Lord Eddard, in private if you will" littlefinger says and ned nods at Liz to leave so she does but not before shooting baelish a glare. Knowing what comes next she goes to her chambers and changes into breeches, a tunic, her sword and as many daggers and knives as she can find, all hidden under a warm fur cloak so no one will know they are there. a goldcloak comes to her door and says that Jamie wants her so she grabs a bag of gold, stuffing it into her pockets. She follows him without fuss to a horse that has been prepared for her and then she is surrounded by gold cloaks and Lannister guards only to be trotted out of the city where she is met by Jamie. She doesn't even say a word to him, after all, why should she? He tried to kill her father. They begin to gallop down the road and stop after fourteen miles to change horses and then they are off again.

For the next few days she doesn't speak, just listens to all the gossip. Every night she gets up at around midnight and puts on her cloak and explains that she is cold before going for a pee but always returns, the time from leaving to returning gradually getting longer. The King is dead and Lord Eddard is imprisoned she hears one day and grits her teeth, making plans. She tries to ignore Jamie for the rest of that day and she can tell he is getting frustrated by it. Then that night she gets up and says she is going for a pee. She walks past the edge of the camp and the bushes filled with poisonous berries. Past the hooting owl and the shitting badger before she reaches the edge of a river and a black figure moves above her, landing beside her quiet as a mouse. She climbs on and they fly away to near kingslanding where she gets off and smuggles herself in. She spends a day finds arya and when she does she hugs her very hard.

"Come with me arya, we need to leave this city. Come quietly" she says and arya follows. She buys a few rolls of bread and arya gobbles them up. Then she buys a loose pink dress to blend in with the servants in the red keep but instead of heading there she goes to the dragon pit where she sneaks inside and strips, changing into the dress while keeping several knives on her. She releases Debbie and Sylvester and orders them to stay there until morning. Then she walks with arya down to a hidden beach with an entrance to the red keep. She gives arya her cloak to keep warm and puts gertie in charge of keeping her safe until morning.

She walks for quite a while before climbing out of a drain in the hall of the dragon skulls. First she does what she can to blend in with the other servants and goes straight to the kitchen, saying that she is there to bring food to the prisoners in the black cells. No one recognises her and she is handed a tray with a bowl of lumpy, wet, slimy oats and a mug of really suspicious looking brown water. She takes it without a word and quickly makes her way to the black cells using the servants stairways and corridors. There is only one guard standing outside the entrance to the black cells and she tries to walk past him but he stops her.
