Jaime and Brienne switch to horseback as they travel to King\\u2019s Landing. This gives them time to discuss who is the bigger Kingslayer. Jaime dreams of his infamous act. Mackelly and Simon try to interpret.\\xa0

Chapter Review:
Jaime Lannister spots an inn and Brienne brings the boat to shore so they can sleep under a roof. However, the proprietor is a bit dodgy and after dinner they decide to push on immediately. The inn has horses in the stables, and Brienne blows a big chunk of their per diem on securing rides. This also means that Jaime\\u2019s leg irons must be struck, although the vision of trying to get the horse to step his back legs over the chain to allow Jaime to shimmy aboard is rather delicious.

The three (don\\u2019t forget the always forgettable Ser Cleos Frey) ride through the night, scrupulously avoiding the route that the barkeep suggested along Get Robbed and Murdered Avenue. When they\\u2019ve put some miles between them and the inn, they camp. Jaime and Brienne chat about chivalry, vows, kingslaying, all the fun stuff. They don\\u2019t really see eye to eye. Jaime continues to look for opportunities to escape.

That night Jaime dreams of killing Aerys. How the king had ordered him to murder his father Tywin. How the tyrant plotted with his pyromancer to do some mischief (Jaime killed him too). And how he didn\\u2019t sit the Iron Throne to claim anything, he was just curious who would be first to come and claim it. Of course it would be judgy Ned Stark, who saw the ambitious and murderous Lannister usurping the hard won throne, rather than just Jaime: tired and dispirited.
