Synopsis

Arya is dismayed that as usual, she cant match her sister Sansa's needlework. Septa Mordane coos over Princess Myrcella's needlework and Sansa whispering with Jeyne Poole and Beth Cassel over Prince Joffrey. Arya points out that Jon thinks Joffrey looks like a girl, and Sansa laments that Jon gets jealous because he is a bastard, Arya defends him, drawing the Septa's attention to her. Septa Mordane inspects Arya's stitches, and pronounces herself dissastisfied with them. Humiliated, Arya bolted for the door, not wanting to be found she takes her wolf pup Nymeria to watch the boys sparring in the practice yard, she comes across Jon and they watch together.

In the yeard bellow, Bran and Prince Tommen are fighting each other with heavily padded wooden swords under the watchful eye of Ser Rodrik Cassel, the master-at-arms, and a group of spectators, including Robb and Theon. Arya says she could fight as well as Bran, but Jon says she doesn't have enough muscle for a longsword.

Bellow Bran has knocked Tommen over. Ser Rodrik Cassel sends them to remove their padding, and calls Robb and Joffrey over for a bout. Joffrey acts as if it is beneath his dignity to fight Starks with play swords. He suggests real swords, and Robb accepts, but Ser Rodrik refuses to let them. Sandor Clegane steps forward and says they should let them, that he killed a man with an edged blade when he was only twelve. Joffrey makes a few more condescending remarks, enraging Robb, but Theon holds him back from attacking the Prince. Then Joff and Tommen leave. Jon says that Arya should go to her room, or the punishment will be worse the longer she leaves it. Arya returns to her room to find not only Septa Mordane, but also her mother.
