How It All Goes Down
Sansa VII
- Ser Lancel informs Cersei the battle is likely lost and her brother dead, so Cersei orders the drawbridge raised and Joffrey brought to safety.
- Lancel protests that the absence of the King will be devastating to morale, but Cersei just strikes his wounded side.
- Sansa comforts those gathered by reminding them they are in the safest place in the city. Ser Dontos whispers in her ear that she should lock herself in her room.
- She does so and finds the Hound waiting for her. He tells her he is leaving, going somewhere away from the fires.
- He promises he'll keep her safe if she comes with him, but when she can't look at his face, he settles for that song she promised she'd sing.
- He leaves her.
- The next morning, Ser Dontos brings word that the battle is over. Stannis has lost.
- He tells her Lord Tywin Lannister routed Stannis's forces with the Tyrells and Renly leading the vanguard—well, someone in Renly's armor at any rate.
