CATELYN
You know what?
BRAN
What?
CATELYN You always look at your feet before you lie.
Despite Bran’s best efforts, his mouth stretches into a smile, and a chuffing laugh escapes from behind it.
Catelyn smiles, unable to help herself. She sees that his hands, clothes and bare feet are filthy from the climb down.
CATELYN Go on, clean yourself up. The king will be here soon.
Bran kisses his mother on the cheek and runs off.
EXT. WINTERFELL GATES - DAY
The king’s party pours through the gates of Winterfell in a river of gold, silver and steel, one hundred strong.
Over their heads, a dozen golden banners whip in the wind, emblazoned with the crowned stag of the House Baratheon.
INT. WINTERFELL - COURTYARD - DAY
At the far end of the yard, Ned’s face betrays nothing as he watches the King’s party approach with his family beside him.
Catelyn, Robb, Jon and Bran are here, as are SANSA (13), traditionally beautiful, with high cheekbones and thick red hair; ARYA (11), a skinny tomboy; and their little brother RICKON (3).
Ser Jaime rides through the gate and into the courtyard.
BRAN (whispering to Jon)
Is that the king?
JON That’s Jaime Lannister. The Kingslayer.
Bran can’t take his eyes off the man. He’s heard the stories.
