==Synopsis==
  
At the welcoming feast for the king, [[Jon Snow|Jon]] decides he is thankful that his bastardy lets him sit among the squires instead of with his family, where he can drink as much as he likes instead of being allowed only one glass of wine. He had seen the King and his family when they came in. He saw through Cersei's false smile, saw that [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] seemed smitten with [[Robb Stark|Robb]], and wasn't impressed with fat king [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] or prince [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]. He thought [[Jaime Lannister]] looked like a proper king, and Tyrion was grotesquely fascinating.
+
A feast is held in [[Winterfell]] in honor of King [[Robert I Baratheon]]'s royal visit. Jon decides he is thankful his [[bastardy]] has relegated him to the far end of the hall with the younger squires instead of the king's family. Here he can drink as much as he wants (he has a man's thirst) and mingle freely with those around him.

 +
Jon watches the king and his family as they arrive. He recognizes Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]'s false smile and is disappointed with fat, red-faced King Robert. The eight-year-old Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] seems smitten with her escort, [[Robb Stark]], leading Jon to decide she is insipid. [[Arya Stark]] is escorted by plump, young Prince [[Tommen Baratheon]]. The twelve-year-old crown prince, [[Joffrey Baratheon]] (who is even taller than Robb), is escorting the radiant [[Sansa Stark]]. Jon decides he does not like Joffrey’s pouty lips or the disdain the prince seems to hold for Winterfell. He also notes that the queen's brother, Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], looks like a proper king, and that waddling dwarf [[Tyrion Lannister]] is grotesquely fascinating, as ugly as Jaime and Cersei are beautiful. The last to enter are [[Benjen Stark]] and [[Theon Greyjoy]].
  
He feeds Ghost, who is sitting under the table.  He was allowed to bring his wolf to the feast when his brothers and sisters were not.  His uncle Benjen comes to talk to him about the wolf. He asks Jon how much he's had to drink, and says Jon is older than he was when he first got truly drunk.  Benjen asks why he is not at the main table, and Jon says flatly that Catelyn thought seating a bastard with the King might give offense.

Benjen comments that Eddard does not seem festive, and Jon adds that the queen is not, either, probably because of Robert's visit to the crypts.  Benjen commends Jon's observation and says they could use a man like him on the [[Wall]]. Jon asks if he can return to the Wall with Benjen.  Benjen says it's a hard place for someone so young, and Jon counters that it's said bastards grow up faster than purebloods. Benjen says that he should know a woman first, to know what he will be giving up, father a bastard or two. Jon says angrily that he would never father a bastard, and storms off, Ghost at his heels.

Jon feeds his [[direwolf]], [[Ghost]], under the table and watches the pup silently face down a full-grown dog three times his size. Bringing his wolf to the feast is another perk to being the bastard. Jon is soon joined by his uncle Benjen, who asks Jon how much he has had to drink, adding that Jon is older than he was when he first got truly drunk. Benjen asks about Ghost and Jon explains that he named him Ghost for his white color and because he never makes a sound. Benjen then asks why Jon is not at the main table and Jon says flatly that Lady [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] thought seating a bastard with the king might give offense.
  
The yard is deserted, but as Jon is leaving, [[Tyrion Lannister]] speaks to him from a ledge where he is sitting. He asks about Jon's wolf, and if he can take a look. Jon offers to help him down, but Tyrion jumps down, acrobatically landing on his hands and vaulting to his feet. Ghost is uncertain about Tyrion, but he submits to the examination under Jon's command.

Benjen comments that [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] does not seem festive and Jon adds that neither does the queen, probably because of King Robert's visit to the [[crypts of Winterfell]]. Benjen commends Jon's keen observation and remarks that he could use a man like him on the [[Wall]]. Jon asks if he can return to the Wall with Benjen. The older man replies that the Wall is a hard place for a boy, but Jon counters that he will turn fifteen on his next name day and it is said bastards grow up faster than purebloods. Jon thinks about how all his half brothers and sisters have futures, but there is no future for a bastard. Benjen says that he should know a woman and father a bastard or two first, to know what he will be giving up. This angers Jon, who states that he will ''never'' father a bastard and runs off with Ghost at his heels before anyone can see him cry.
  
Tyrion introduces himself and asks if Jon is Eddard's bastard. Jon bridles, but Tyrion says that as a dwarf he can usually speak as he pleases, as fools can. He says that Jon seems to have more of the north in him than his half-siblings. He encourages Jon to remember his strengths, and goes back in to the feast.

When Jon questions what Tyrion would know about being a bastard, Tyrion replies that all dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes and that, although all dwarfs are bastards, not all bastards need to be dwarfs.

Jon Snow attends the feast Winterfell is holding for the royal guests and speaks with both Benjen Stark and Tyrion Lannister.

Synopsis

A feast is held in Winterfell in honor of King Robert I Baratheon's royal visit. Jon decides he is thankful his bastardy has relegated him to the far end of the hall with the younger squires instead of the king's family. Here he can drink as much as he wants (he has a man's thirst) and mingle freely with those around him.

Jon watches the king and his family as they arrive. He recognizes Queen Cersei's false smile and is disappointed with fat, red-faced King Robert. The eight-year-old Princess Myrcella seems smitten with her escort, Robb Stark, leading Jon to decide she is insipid. Arya Stark is escorted by plump, young Prince Tommen Baratheon. The twelve-year-old crown prince, Joffrey Baratheon (who is even taller than Robb), is escorting the radiant Sansa Stark. Jon decides he does not like Joffrey’s pouty lips or the disdain the prince seems to hold for Winterfell. He also notes that the queen's brother, Ser Jaime Lannister, looks like a proper king, and that waddling dwarf Tyrion Lannister is grotesquely fascinating, as ugly as Jaime and Cersei are beautiful. The last to enter are Benjen Stark and Theon Greyjoy.

Jon feeds his direwolf, Ghost, under the table and watches the pup silently face down a full-grown dog three times his size. Bringing his wolf to the feast is another perk to being the bastard. Jon is soon joined by his uncle Benjen, who asks Jon how much he has had to drink, adding that Jon is older than he was when he first got truly drunk. Benjen asks about Ghost and Jon explains that he named him Ghost for his white color and because he never makes a sound. Benjen then asks why Jon is not at the main table and Jon says flatly that Lady Catelyn thought seating a bastard with the king might give offense.

Benjen comments that Eddard does not seem festive and Jon adds that neither does the queen, probably because of King Robert's visit to the crypts of Winterfell. Benjen commends Jon's keen observation and remarks that he could use a man like him on the Wall. Jon asks if he can return to the Wall with Benjen. The older man replies that the Wall is a hard place for a boy, but Jon counters that he will turn fifteen on his next name day and it is said bastards grow up faster than purebloods. Jon thinks about how all his half brothers and sisters have futures, but there is no future for a bastard. Benjen says that he should know a woman and father a bastard or two first, to know what he will be giving up. This angers Jon, who states that he will never father a bastard and runs off with Ghost at his heels before anyone can see him cry.

As Jon is leaving, Tyrion Lannister speaks to him from a ledge in the deserted yard and asks if he can take a look at Ghost.
