There was a raven from King's Landing. Arya ! Arya Stark : He's my friend. Arya Stark : Nymeria ! Arya Stark : Sansa can keep her sewing needles. Bran's life is in their hands now. 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. Catelyn Stark : I have to take care of him. Catelyn Stark : Someone tried to kill him twice. Cersei Baratheon : Please. Cersei Baratheon : She's as wild as that animal of hers. Eddard Stark : The wolf is of the north. I would name you the Hand of the King. I'm going north with Uncle Benjen. Jaime Lannister : A sword for the wall ? Jorah Mormont : Selling to one... Ned: A Wildling ambush. Robb Stark : I'll ride to King's Landing. Robert Baratheon : A direwolf's no pet. Sansa Stark : Arya, leave him alone. She says Jon Arryn was murdered by the Lannisters. The greatest structure ever built, the intrepid men of the Night's Watch, the wintry abode of the White Walkers. Tyrion Lannister : A b*st*rd boy with nothing to inherit, off to join the ancient order of the Night's Watch, alongside his valiant brothers-in-arms. We already have reason to suspect their loyalty to the crown. Where's your other daughter, Ned ?
