Editing Walk of Punishment (section)

===At King's Landing===
[[Tywin Lannister]] ([[w:Charles Dance|Charles Dance]]) calls the first meeting of the [[small council]] since his arrival in the city. As a test for the councilors, Tywin sits at one end of the long table, with chairs on only one side. [[Petyr Baelish|Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish]] ([[w:Aidan Gillen|Aidan Gillen]]) ambitiously rushes to the seat nearest to Tywin. [[Varys]] ([[w:Conleth Hill|Conleth Hill]]) is content to take the second seat. [[Grand Maester]] [[Pycelle]] ([[w:Julian Glover|Julian Glover]]) calmly takes the third. [[Cersei Lannister]] creates a place at her father's right hand by moving her chair. Last of all, [[Tyrion Lannister]] ([[w:Peter Dinklage|Peter Dinklage]]) makes a point of noisily dragging his chair to the far end of the table and taking up a position to mirror his father's.

Tywin is displeased that, despite their vast networks of spies, none of the councilors can locate his son [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]]. Turning to the war, Varys informs the council that [[Robb Stark]] has left [[Roose Bolton]] as lord of [[Harrenhal]] while he is at [[Riverrun]]. Tywin declares Bolton can have the ruin; Littlefinger's titular position as lord of Harrenhal is enough to make him a suitor to Lady [[Lysa Arryn]]. As Lysa's husband, Littlefinger will become the acting lord of [[the Vale]] and ensure the Vale does not support Robb. Tywin appoints Tyrion to replace Littlefinger as [[Master of Coin]], causing Tyrion to points out his obvious lack of qualifications.

Later, Tyrion visits Littlefinger's brothel to retrieve the royal ledgers. Littlefinger wishes Tyrion luck and thanks him for freeing [[Ros]] ([[w:Esme Bianco|Esmé Bianco]]) after Cersei mistook her for Tyrion's mistress. He also advises Tyrion that finances are easy to manipulate once you realize they are just numbers on paper. Tyrion then rewards his squire [[Podrick Payne|Podrick]] ([[w:Daniel Portman|Daniel Portman]]) with the services of three prostitutes, including a contortionist.

Upon reviewing the ledgers, Tyrion discovers that Littlefinger has borrowed millions in gold from [[House Lannister]], as well as tens of millions from the [[Iron Bank of Braavos]], who will fund their enemies if not paid back in the proper time. Then Podrick returns with Tyrion's money, which he explains the prostitutes refused to take. Impressed and confused, Tyrion and [[Bronn]] ([[w:Jerome Flynn|Jerome Flynn]]) insist Pod provide them with "copious details."
