The king was growing bored. it made Sansa anxious. She lowered her eyes and resolved to keep quiet, no matter what. When Joffrey Baratheon’s mood darkened, any chance word might set off one of his rages. “Lothor Brune, freerider in the service of Lord Baelish,” cried the herald1. “Ser Dontos the Red, of House Hollard. “ The freerider, a small man in dented2 plate without device, duly appeared at the west end of the yard, but of his opponent there was no sign. Finally a chestnut3 stallion trotted4 into view in a swirl5 of crimson6 and scarlet7 silks, but Ser Dontos was not on it. The knight8 appeared a moment later, cursing and staggering, clad in breastplate and plumed9 helm and nothing else. His legs were pale and skinny, and his manhood flopped10 about obscenely as he chased after his horse. The watchers roared and shouted insults. Catching11 his horse by the bridle12, Ser Dontos tried to mount, but the animal would not stand still and the knight was so drunk that his bare foot kept missing the stirrup. By then the crowd was howling with laughter... all but the king. Joffrey had a look in his eyes that Sansa remembered well, the same look he’d had at the Great Sept of Baelor the day he pronounced death on Lord Eddard
