47.
The spectators laugh until Ser Rodrik ends it. He yanks the prince to his feet.
SER RODRIK Well fought. Prince Joffrey, Robb, will you go another round?
ROBB
Gladly.
Joffrey, however, looks bored; he remains among his men.
JOFFREY This is a child’s game.
THEON That’s because you’re children.
JOFFREY Robb may be a child. I am a prince. And I’m tired of swatting at Starks with a play sword. ROBB You got more swats than you gave. Afraid?
JOFFREY Oh, terrified. I might get a splinter.
The Lannister men all laugh.
Jon and Arya watch with contempt.
JON
What a shit.
Ser Rodrik asks Joffrey:
SER RODRIK What do you suggest?
JOFFREY
Live steel.
ROBB
Done.
Ser Rodrik puts a hand on Robb’s shoulder.
