Lord Baelish, Lady Sansa, my name is Brienne of Tarth.
We've met, with Renly Baratheon. What did he say about you? He said... "Your loyalty came free of charge." Someone appears to have paid quite a bit for it since then.
Lady Sansa. Before your mother's death, I was her sworn sword. I gave my word I would find you and protect you. I will shield your back and give you counsel, and give my life for yours if need be. I swear it by the Old Gods and the New.
Please, Lady Brienne, no need for such formality. You were Catelyn Stark's sworn sword?
I was.
Strange. I knew Cat from the time we were children. She never mentioned you.
It was after Renly's murder.
Ahh, yes. You were accused of killing him.
I tried to save him!
But you were accused.
By men who didn't see what happened.
And what did happen?
He was murdered by a shadow. A shadow with the face of Stannis Baratheon.
A shadow? With a face? [looks at Sansa, scoffs] This woman swore to protect Renly, she failed. She swore to protect your mother; she failed. Why would I want someone with your history of failure guarding Lady Sansa?
[sharply] Why should you have any say in her affairs?
Because I am her uncle. I married her aunt Lysa, shortly before my beloved's untimely death. We're family now. And you are an outsider. Forgive me, Lady Brienne, but experience has made me wary of outsiders.
Lady Sansa, if we can have a word alone?
No.
Please, my Lady, if you would let me explain.
I saw you at Joffrey's wedding, bowing to the King.
Neither of us wanted to be there. Sometimes we don't have a choice.
And sometimes we do. You should leave.
