“This wine seems to be improving as I drink it. Imagine that. I seem to remember that dagger1, now that you describe it. Won it, you say? How?” “Wagering on you when you tilted2 against the Knight3 of Flowers.” Yet when she heard her own words Catelyn knew she had gotten it wrong. “No... was it the other way?” “Tyrion always backed me in the lists,” Jaime said, “but that day Ser Loras unhorsed me. A mischance, I took the boy too lightly, but no matter. Whatever my brother wagered4, he lost... but that dagger did change hands, I recall it now. Robert showed it to me that night at the feast. His Grace loved to salt my wounds, especially when drunk. And when was he not drunk?” Tyrion Lannister had said much the same thing as they rode through the Mountains of the Moon, Catelyn remembered. She had refused to believe him. Petyr had sworn otherwise, Petyr who had been almost a brother, Petyr who loved her so much he fought a duel6 for her hand... and yet if Jaime and Tyrion told the same tale, what did that mean? The brothers had not seen each other since departing Winterfell more than a year ago. “Are you trying to deceive me?” Somewhere there was a trap here. “I’ve admitted to shoving your precious urchin7 out a window, what would it gain me to lie about this knife?” He tossed down another cup of wine. “Believe what you will, I’m past caring what people say of me. And it’s my turn. Have Robert’s brothers taken the field?” “They have.” “Now there’s a niggardly8 response. Give me more than that, or your next answer will be as poor.” “Stannis marches against King’s Landing,” she said grudgingly9. “Renly is dead, murdered at Bitterbridge by his brother, through some black art I do not understand.” “A pity,” Jaime said. “I rather liked Renly, though Stannis is quite another tale. What side have the Tyrells taken?” “Renly, at first. Now, I could not say.” “Your boy must be feeling lonely.” “Robb was sixteen a few days past... a man grown, and a king. He’s won every battle he’s fought. The last word we had from him, he had taken the Crag from the Westerlings.” “He hasn’t faced my father yet, has he?” “When he does, he’ll defeat him. As he did you.” “He took me unawares. A craven’s trick.” “You dare talk of tricks? Your brother Tyrion sent us cutthroats in envoy’s
