-| King's Landing |-

VARYS: "You two have seen better days, my lord."

ASTON: "You've got that right."

EDDARD: "Another visit? It seems you're my last friend."

VARYS: "No, no, many still love you. Sansa came to court this morning to plead for your life... don't worry Aston, she did the same for you."

EDDARD: "On her knees begging for me. Hm! Did you laugh with the others?"

VARYS: "You do me wrong, my lord. Your blood is the last thing I want."

EDDARD: "I don't know what you want. I've given up trying to guess."

VARYS: "When I was still a boy... before they cut my balls off with a hot knife... I traveled with a group of actors through the free cities. They taught me that each man has a role to play. The same is true at court. I am the master of whisperers. My role is to be sly, obsequious and without scruples. I'm a good actor, my lord."

ASTON: "Huh. Can you free us from this pit?"

VARYS: "I could. But will l? No. As I said, I'm no hero."

EDDARD: "What do you want? Tell me. No riddles, no stories. Tell me, what do you want?"

VARYS: "Peace. Did you know that your other son is marching south with an army of Northmen? Loyal lad. Fighting for his father's freedom. Some brave and honorable kids you have."

ASTON: "Robb? No way."

Aston smiles beyond proudly of his twin brother. He's happy he gained the strength to take charge of the North and become a leader... a Warden.

EDDARD: "He's just a boy."

ASTON: "So am I father, and look what I've done here... look how I've proved myself."

VARYA: "Boys have been conquerors before. But the man giving Cersei sleepless nights is the king's late brother. Lord Stannis has the best claim to the throne. He is a proven battle commander and he is utterly without mercy."

EDDARD: "Stannis Baratheon is Robert's true heir. The throne is his by rights."

VARYS: "Sansa pleaded so sweetly for your life's. It would be a shame to throw it away. Cersei is no fool. She knows a tame wolf is more use to her than a dead one."

EDDARD: "You want me to serve the woman who murdered my king, who butchered my men, who crippled my son?"

VARYS: "I want you to serve the realm! Tell the queen you will confess your vile treason, tell your son to lay down his sword and proclaim Joffrey as the true heir. Cersei knows you as a man of honor. If you give her the peace she needs, and promise to carry her secret to your grave, I believe she will allow you to take the black and live out your days on the Wall with your brother and your bastard son."

EDDARD: "You think my life is some precious thing to me? That I would trade my honor for a few more years of... of what? You grew up with actors. You learned their craft and you learnt it well. But I grew up with soldiers. I learned how to die a long time ago."
