Sansa is talking to Jeyne over dinner. She is shocked that Eddard did not send Loras after Gregor because it would be just like in the songs and stories. She had been saying as much to Septa Mordane at court earlier, and Petyr came up to her and told her that life was not a song and that she may find this out to her regret. Yoren had also been at court, and Eddard gave him leave to choose men from the dungeons for the Night's Watch. The next morning, she wakes up early to watch Lord Beric's party ride off, with Alyn carrying the Stark banner.1 Afterwards, she joins Arya and Septa Mordane for breakfast. Sansa explains to Arya what is happening with Gregor, and Arya says she wishes someone would kill Jaime and Sandor for their murders. Sansa repeats her lie that Mycah attacked Joffrey, and Arya throws an orange at her. They exchange insults, and Septa Mordane sends them to their rooms. Eddard summons them both to him later. He informs them that he is sending them back to Winterfell for their own safety. Sansa begs to stay and says she loves Joffrey as Queen Naerys loved Prince Aemon and Jonquil Ser Florian and wants to marry him. During the course of the conversation, Sansa says that Joffrey is nothing like the king, and Eddard suddenly gets a strange look on his face.2 He sends the girls back to their rooms.
