After four days of searching, [[Vayon Poole]] comes to [[Eddard Stark|Ned]] with news that [[Arya Stark|Arya]] has been found unharmed. Ned is relieved that it was [[Jory Cassel]] who found her rather than Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]’s men.

After four days, [[Vayon Poole]] comes to Lord [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] with the news that [[Arya Stark|Arya]] has been found unharmed. Eddard is relieved that it was [[Jory Cassel]] who found her, not the [[Cersei Lannister|queen’s]] men. Unfortunately, the [[House Lannister|Lannister]] guards at the gate and informed the queen who had her brought directly before the king and queen. Eddard heads for the audience chamber himself, asking for [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] to be brought as well.

Ned rushes to the audience chamber of nearby [[Castle Darry]], which has been hosting the king’s party during the search. He is dismayed to find the chamber full of people, preventing a private and amicable solution. Ned also notes that very few in the crowd are likely to be sympathetic to the Starks; most are either Lannister men or loyal to the local lord [[Raymun Darry]], a prominent [[Targaryen]] loyalist who lost family and fortune at the [[Battle of the Trident|Trident]]. However, Ned is relieved that neither [[Jaime Lannister]] nor [[Sandor Clegane]] are present.
  
Eddard rushes to the audience chamber in a local castle which provided chambers for their unwanted guests of the King’s party. He arrives to find way more people in the chamber than he would have liked. If he could have gotten the king alone he could have settled the matter amicably. He goes to Arya's side in the center of the room with Jory. She profusely apologizes as she cries. After reassuring her, he notes that the crowd is not the best for the Starks, the only conciliation being that [[Jaime Lannister]] and [[Sandor Clegane]] were both missing. He turns angrily to the king, demanding why Arya was not brought to him at once. [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] bridles at his tone, but [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] apologizes, saying he just wanted to get the business over with quickly. Eddard asks what business this is and the queen answers that justice to be done for Arya, and the butcher boy beating Joffrey with clubs and the wolf tried to tear of his arm. Joffrey replies that this is correct, and Arya calls Joffrey a liar. The king wants to hear Arya’s story first, then will hear Joffrey. After Arya’s story, Remly starts snikering, and is ordered out of the chamber by the king. Before he leaves he asks how a 9 year old girl the size of a wet rat managed to disarm him with a broom handle and throw it in the lake. Then Joffrey presents a very different story. The king is exasperated because the stories are so different. Eddard then tells the king that there was another at the scene, and tells Sansa to tell her story. She says she that everything happened so fast that she doesn't remember. This infuriates Arya who immediately lunges at Sansa, and it is Jory that pulls her off Sansa. Cersei uses this as an example of how wild Arya is, and tells Robert she wants Arya punished. This further exasperates the king who points out she is only a girl. The king tells Eddard to discipline his daughter and he would discipline his son. The queen then asks about punishing the wolf. Robert was not happy about this being brought up, having forgotten about the wolf. He is relieved when he is told that there was no sign found of the direwolf. The queen immediately offers 100 golden dragons for the skin. Robert tells her she can buy the pelt with Lannister gold and Cersei responded that she thought the king she married would of laid a skin across her bed before the sun went down. The king points out that there was no wolf, and Cersei responds that they have a wolf. Eddard tries to get the king to change his mind, but he tells Eddard that direwolves are dangerous to get the girl a dog, she would be happier. Sansa finally realizes that they are talking about Lady. With Sansa crying in his lap, he begs the king again. When the king refuses, Eddard asks him to do it himself, and the king leaves. Eddard refuses to let [[Ilyn Payne]] do the task, and states he will. Cersei is suspicious and asks why. Eddard replies that the wolf is from the north and deserves better than a butcher.

Arya apologizes to Ned profusely as she cries. Ned turns angrily to the king, demanding to know why Arya was not brought to him first. Queen Cersei bristles at his tone but Robert apologizes, explaining that he only wanted to finish the business quickly. Cersei then accuses Arya and [[Mycah]] of ambushing Joffrey with clubs while setting [[Nymeria]] to tear off his arm. When Joffrey affirms this, Arya calls him a liar. After the king has listened to Arya’s side of the story, Lord [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]] begins snickering and asks Joffrey how a skinny nine-year-old girl managed to disarm him with a broom handle. When Joffrey recounts a very different story, King Robert is exasperated.
  
With his daughter’s cries wailing in his ears, Eddard goes to Lady. He sits beside her considering the names that his children had chosen, and considering the wolf, believes his daughter had chosen well. He looks into her eyes and ruffles her fur. Jory brings him [[Ice]], and when it is over commands that 4 men take her to the north to be buried at Winterfell, answering Jory’s question on why all that way with the answer that the Lannister woman never have this skin.

Ned reminds the king that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] was also present and has Sansa brought in to testify. However, Sansa—torn between her family and her love for Joffrey—claims she doesn’t remember. This infuriates Arya, who lunges at Sansa. Cersei uses this as an example of how wild Arya is, and insists she wants Arya punished. King Robert, even more exasperated, orders Ned to discipline Arya while he will discipline Joffrey. Unsatisfied, Cersei demands that Nymeria be killed and offers 100 gold dragons for her pelt. However, since Nymeria has disappeared, Cersei demands the skin of the other direwolf. When Ned protests, Robert only responds that a direwolf is not a pet and that the girl would be happier with a dog.
  
He is returning to the tower when Sandor and his riders came back from the hunt. Sandor states that they didn't find Arya, but they found her pet. He drops a corpse at Eddard's feet, which turns out to be not [[Nymeria]], but [[Mycah]]. He had been cut down from above. Eddard states Sandor cut him down from behind, and Sandor responds that he ran.

Sansa finally realizes that they are talking about ''her'' [[Lady (direwolf)|direwolf]] and goes crying to Ned. In a final attempt to save the direwolf, Ned insists that the king execute the wolf himself but Robert only walks away. Ned refuses to let [[Ilyn Payne]] do the task. When Cersei voices suspicion about Ned’s intentions, Ned replies that the direwolf is from [[the North]] and deserves better than a butcher.

With Sansa’s cries in his ears, Ned goes to Lady.

As he is returning, Sandor Clegane and his riders come back from the hunt. Clegane states that while they didn’t find Arya they did find her pet and drops a corpse at Ned’s feet.

When Ned states that Clegane ran the boy down, the burned man responds, “He ran. But not very fast.”

Synopsis

After four days of searching, Vayon Poole comes to Ned with news that Arya has been found unharmed. Ned is relieved that it was Jory Cassel who found her rather than Queen Cersei’s men. Unfortunately, the Lannister guards at the gate informed the queen, who had Arya brought directly before King Robert.

Ned rushes to the audience chamber of nearby Castle Darry, which has been hosting the king’s party during the search. He is dismayed to find the chamber full of people, preventing a private and amicable solution. Ned also notes that very few in the crowd are likely to be sympathetic to the Starks; most are either Lannister men or loyal to the local lord Raymun Darry, a prominent Targaryen loyalist who lost family and fortune at the Trident. However, Ned is relieved that neither Jaime Lannister nor Sandor Clegane are present.

Arya apologizes to Ned profusely as she cries. Ned turns angrily to the king, demanding to know why Arya was not brought to him first. Queen Cersei bristles at his tone but Robert apologizes, explaining that he only wanted to finish the business quickly. Cersei then accuses Arya and Mycah of ambushing Joffrey with clubs while setting Nymeria to tear off his arm. When Joffrey affirms this, Arya calls him a liar. After the king has listened to Arya’s side of the story, Lord Renly begins snickering and asks Joffrey how a skinny nine-year-old girl managed to disarm him with a broom handle. When Joffrey recounts a very different story, King Robert is exasperated.

Ned reminds the king that Sansa was also present and has Sansa brought in to testify. However, Sansa—torn between her family and her love for Joffrey—claims she doesn’t remember. This infuriates Arya, who lunges at Sansa. Cersei uses this as an example of how wild Arya is, and insists she wants Arya punished.

However, since Nymeria has disappeared, Cersei demands the skin of the other direwolf. When Ned protests, Robert only responds that a direwolf is not a pet and that the girl would be happier with a dog.
