Chapter Sixty-Seven - Sansa 6 - A Game of Thrones | A Song of Ice and Fire - a podcast by A Game of Thrones
from 2020-12-07T00:00
Sansa tries to come to terms with her reality. King Joffrey reveals that they are still to be married, that his name-day is coming up, and that his cruelty doesn’t end with just killing her father. Meryn Trant puts on the hurt and Sandor Clegane is uncommonly solicitous. The guys dab the blood from Sansa’s cheek and help to plot our revenge.
Chapter Review:
Sansa is unwashed and ignored in her chambers in King’s Landing. She’s not eating and bouncing between awful dreams of her father’s death and the awful reality of it. She feels utterly betrayed having kept her side of every bargain. Joffrey tells her to get up and Meryn Trant gives her something to cry about.
She steels her resolve and attends Joffrey at court. He’s his usual self. Bored and inconsiderate punctuated by bouts of being engaged but vile. After he takes his leave, he demands Sansa join him. The Hound encourages her compliance - but kind of nicely.
Joffrey’s outing is to see the heads on spikes, including Ned and Septa Mordane. He knows how to show a girl a good time. Sansa gives Joffrey some sass and Meryn Trant beats her bloody again. Sansa toys with the notion of pushing Joffrey off the battlements, but as her thought crystallizes into action Clegane interposes and gently dabs the blood from her lips. She thanks him and a weird alliance is cemented.
