"Jaime Lannister was going to be killed in Riverrun after trying to escape, so Lady Stark sent me off with him to King's Landing, in the hope to exchange him for your sisters. I wasn't allowed near Lady Sansa. They claimed that after Eddard Stark's execution, the greatsword Ice was remade into two new blades. One went to King Joffrey, and the other to Jaime Lannister. But, when Lady Sansa escaped, Jaime Lannister gave me his Valyrian steel sword, a full set of armour, Podrick Payne for squire, and sent me off to find and protect her."
