Chapter Seventy-Two - Jaime 9 - A Storm of Swords | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)

Jaime has a curious goodbye with Arya Stark. He refuses to leave the Kingsguard, despite a strong push from his family. He resists an advance from his sister, which results in a heated argument between the two. Finally, he gives Brienne a jaw-dropping gift and then tasks her with a surprising mission in return. Simon and Mackelly squint hard at “Arya Stark.”
Chapter Review:
Jaime Lannister grows bored of watching the king sign documents that offer rewards or punishment to houses, for their roles in the war. He returns to the White Sword Tower. On his way, he runs into a girl claiming to be Arya Stark. Jaime is skeptical.
Cersei waits for him in his chambers. She begs him to talk to their father about Tywin’s plan to send her back to Casterly Rock, effectively separating her from her son Tommen. Jaime doesn’t think it’ll do any good, but Cersei believes it will, if he agrees to leave the Kingsguard. Jaime refuses. Cersei makes a sexual advance that Jaime rebuffs. She throws insults as she storms out.
Jaime calls for Ser Loras Tyrell and Brienne of Tarth. Loras admits Brienne might be telling the truth about Renly Baratheon's death. After dismissing Loras, Jaime gives Brienne the Valyrian steel sword his father gave him. In return, he asks she use it to find Sansa Stark and keep her safe.
