NED This is madness...
CATELYN You say you love Robert like a brother. Would you leave your brother surrounded by Lannisters?
Ned looks to Maester Luwin, hoping for a different opinion.
MAESTER LUWIN The Hand of the King has great power, my lord. Power to investigate. And to punish, if need be. CATELYN You must go south with him. Become his Hand and learn the truth. NED I am not your dog to command, my lady.
But Ned’s words are belied by the resignation in his face. She is right and he knows it. He sits heavily in a chair beside the hearth.
NED My father went south once, to answer the summons of a king. He never came home again.
MAESTER LUWIN A different time. A different king.
Ned says nothing, watching the flames devour the wood.
INT. WINTERFELL - TOWER ROOM - DAY
Sansa and Princess Myrcella both knit, overseen by Myrcella’s ladies-in-waiting, and Sansa’s tutor, SEPTA MORDANE (60s).
Arya sits near the door. Her needlework is as grim as Sansa’s is perfect, her face as plain as Sansa’s is beautiful.
She doesn’t want to be here. While the Septa fawns over the princess, Arya quietly lays down her knitting and sneaks away.
