Synopsis

Sansa had found a note under her pillow telling her to come to the godswood that night if she wanted to go home. Mistrustful of who left it, Sansa eventually decides to go when she hears a commotion at the gate to the Red Keep. She slips unseen to the godswood, and there meets Ser Dontos. Hoping it would be a true knight come to rescue her, she is disappointed by the appearance of the old drunk fool. He deftly makes Sansa think of the legend of Florian and Jonquil, her favorite story. Now trusting Dontos, he promises to rescue her from the city when the time is right.

After leaving the godswood, she runs into the Hound, who is drunk. Clegane tells her she looks like a woman, and asks her to sing to him, but then forgets he asked. He escorts her back to her room, and finds out from Ser Boros that a mob came to the gates seeking food from Tyrek’s wedding feast. Sansa asks him why he lets people call him ‘dog’, and he tells her of how his grandfather was kennelmaster at Casterly Rock and saved Lord Tytos Lannister’s life. Lord Tytos raised the Cleganes to lords from then on, and thus his brother Ser Gregor was a lord. The Hound leaves by telling her he will hear a song from her eventually.
