Eight days after [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] has left [[Winterfell]], [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] is still sitting at Bran's bedside.

Eight days after [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] and the others have left [[Winterfell]], [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] is still sitting at [[Bran Stark|Bran's]] bedside in her fragile mental state.

After the maester leaves, Robb asks Catelyn what she thinks she's doing spending all her time with Bran and not even saying farewell to her own family. Catelyn insists she can't bear to be away from Bran, in case he should die. Robb assures her that Bran is not going to die and reminds her that her other children need her, too. He goes on to explain that [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]] just follows him around all day crying, thinking everyone has abandoned him.

Robb hears a [[direwolf]] howling outside and opens the window, explaining that the sound seems to be good for Bran. When the other direwolves join in, Catelyn screams for Robb to make the noise stop and then collapses to the floor. Robb helps her up but she only begins screaming again. Then Robb notices the dogs barking as well and sees the library tower afire.
  
After the [[Maester]] leaves, Robb asks what she's doing, spending all her time with Bran, not even coming down to say farewell to her own husband. Catelyn says she can't bear to be away from him, in case he should die. Robb reminds her that her other children need her too--[[Rickon Stark|Rickon]], and even Robb himself.

While Robb rushes off to fight the fire, Catelyn remains behind with Bran. When she turns away from the window, however, she is face-to-face with [[Catspaw|a filthy man]] brandishing [[Valyrian steel dagger|a knife]]. The man claims that Catelyn was not supposed to be there and moves towards Bran, claiming that killing him would be a mercy. Catelyn attempts to scream for help, but the man is too quick as he moves to slit her throat. Catelyn manages to grab the blade with her hands and push it away, cutting her fingers badly. She bites the man's hand and fights her way free. The man is about to attack her again when Bran's direwolf leaps onto him and rips out his throat. Once the man is dead, the direwolf settles down on Bran's bed.

Then he sees that the library tower is on fire. Catelyn is relieved, because that tower is on the far side of the castle. Robb rushes off to help, but Catelyn stays behind.

When she turns away from the window, a filthy man stinking of horses is there, surprised at her presence. He has a knife, and he is moving towards Bran. As she tries to scream for help, he puts the knife to her throat, and she forces it away with her fingers, cutting them badly. She bites his hand, and he pushes her away. Bran's direwolf, [[Summer]] comes into the room, attacks the man and rips his throat out. Then it comes over and licks the blood off of Catelyn's hand. Catelyn begins to laugh hysterically, and doesn't stop until Robb returns with a number of guards. Maester Luwin treats Catelyn's wounds, and puts her to sleep.

Catelyn is taken back to her chambers. [[Old Nan]] undresses her and helps her into a bath. After the bath, Maester Luwin dresses Catelyn's wounds: her fingers are cut almost to the bone and the man had pulled out a handful of hair. The maester gives her milk of the poppy, which puts her to sleep. She wakes up four days later. It seems like a nightmare, but the pain in her hands reminds her that it was real. When Catelyn remembers her behavior since Bran's fall she is ashamed, promising herself that it will not happen again.  
  
She sleeps for four days, and awakens clearheaded. She is ashamed of how she has been behaving. Robb, who is wearing armour and sword, comes to see her with [[Theon Greyjoy]], [[Rodrik Cassel]], and [[Hallis Mollen]], the new captain of the guard. Mollen tells her that nobody knows who the man was, but he could've been lurking in the stables since the king's visit. Catelyn says that the man was trying to kill Bran, not her, and tells Robb that somebody is afraid of what Bran might say if he awakens. With Catelyn's encouragement, Robb announces that Bran will be guarded day and night, and that his direwolf shall stay with him.

Robb, now wearing armor and a sword, comes to see her with [[Theon Greyjoy]], Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], and [[Hallis Mollen]], the new [[House Stark guards|captain of the guard]]. Hal tells her that nobody knows who the man was, but he had likely been lurking in the stables since the king's visit. Where the man had been hiding they found ninety [[currency|silver stags]] hidden under the straw. When Robb asks why anybody would want to kill Bran, Catelyn insists that as a [[lord]] he must learn to answer his own questions. Robb guesses that somebody is afraid of what Bran might do or say if he wakes up and so posts a heavy guard on Bran.
  
Ser Rodrik notes the dagger the killer used; the weapon's blade is [[Valyrian steel]] and the handle [[dragonbone]], much finer than anything the killer could have possessed. Catelyn tells Rodrik, Theon, and Robb of her [[Lysa Arryn|sister]]'s suspicions about the death of [[Jon Arryn]]. She remembers that [[Jaime Lannister]] did not go hunting with the others the day Bran fell. They will need proof, though, and the only clue they have is the dagger. After some deliberation, Catelyn decides that she must go to [[King's Landing]]. She chooses only to take Ser Rodrik with her, and to travel by water as much as possible, to arrive before the king's party.
+
Rodrik points out that the dagger used by the assassin, a [[Valyrian steel]] blade with a [[dragonbone]] handle, is a much finer weapon than anything the low-born footpad should have possessed; someone must have given it to him. Catelyn then tells Rodrik, Theon, and Robb in strict confidence of her sister [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa's]] suspicions about the death of [[Jon Arryn]]. She reminds them that [[Jaime Lannister]] did not go hunting with the others the day Bran fell, and that she does not believe that Bran fell, but that he was pushed. The group admits that this is a reasonable conclusion.

However, Maester Luwin points out that all they have is conjecture, and that they must have proof or else keep silent. After some deliberation, Catelyn decides that she and Rodrik will go to [[King's Landing]] by ship to inform Eddard, hopefully arriving ahead of the king’s party.

Synopsis

Eight days after Eddard and the others have left Winterfell, Catelyn is still sitting at Bran's bedside in her fragile mental state. Maester Luwin comes to tell her how much the king's visit has cost them, but Catelyn is not interested in looking at figures. Regardless, the maester continues to speak of replacing provisions. Catelyn insists that the steward can worry about such matters. Luwin reminds her that Vayon Poole went south with Lord Eddard and needs to be replaced, along with a number of other positions. Catelyn is outraged that he can think of such trivial things when Bran is dying until Robb arrives to take charge of the appointments.

After the maester leaves, Robb asks Catelyn what she thinks she's doing spending all her time with Bran and not even saying farewell to her own family. Catelyn insists she can't bear to be away from Bran, in case he should die. Robb assures her that Bran is not going to die and reminds her that her other children need her, too. He goes on to explain that Rickon just follows him around all day crying, thinking everyone has abandoned him.

Robb hears a direwolf howling outside and opens the window, explaining that the sound seems to be good for Bran. When the other direwolves join in, Catelyn screams for Robb to make the noise stop and then collapses to the floor. Robb helps her up but she only begins screaming again. Then Robb notices the dogs barking as well and sees the library tower afire.

While Robb rushes off to fight the fire, Catelyn remains behind with Bran. When she turns away from the window, however, she is face-to-face with a filthy man brandishing a knife. The man claims that Catelyn was not supposed to be there and moves towards Bran, claiming that killing him would be a mercy. Catelyn attempts to scream for help, but the man is too quick as he moves to slit her throat. Catelyn manages to grab the blade with her hands and push it away, cutting her fingers badly. She bites the man's hand and fights her way free. The man is about to attack her again when Bran's direwolf leaps onto him and rips out his throat. Once the man is dead, the direwolf settles down on Bran's bed.

Bran's wolf rescues Catelyn.

Catelyn is taken back to her chambers. Old Nan undresses her and helps her into a bath. After the bath, Maester Luwin dresses Catelyn's wounds: her fingers are cut almost to the bone and the man had pulled out a handful of hair. The maester gives her milk of the poppy, which puts her to sleep. She wakes up four days later. It seems like a nightmare, but the pain in her hands reminds her that it was real. When Catelyn remembers her behavior since Bran's fall she is ashamed, promising herself that it will not happen again.

Robb, now wearing armor and a sword, comes to see her with Theon Greyjoy, Ser Rodrik Cassel, and Hallis Mollen, the new captain of the guard. Hal tells her that nobody knows who the man was, but he had likely been lurking in the stables since the king's visit. Where the man had been hiding they found ninety silver stags hidden under the straw. When Robb asks why anybody would want to kill Bran, Catelyn insists that as a lord he must learn to answer his own questions. Robb guesses that somebody is afraid of what Bran might do or say if he wakes up and so posts a heavy guard on Bran.

Rodrik points out that the dagger used by the assassin, a Valyrian steel blade with a dragonbone handle, is a much finer weapon than anything the low-born footpad should have possessed; someone must have given it to him. Catelyn then tells Rodrik, Theon, and Robb in strict confidence of her sister Lysa's suspicions about the death of Jon Arryn.

The group admits that this is a reasonable conclusion.

However, Maester Luwin points out that all they have is conjecture, and that they must have proof or else keep silent. After some deliberation, Catelyn decides that she and Rodrik will go to King's Landing by ship to inform Eddard, hopefully arriving ahead of the king’s party.
