Cat tries to keep the peace between Renly and Stannis Baratheon. Neither is willing to budge an inch, so Cat and the rest prepare for war. Simon and Mackelly predict the likely outcome.

Chapter Review:
Catelyn Stark is first to reach the hill where the two sides will parley. She cannot see the sea, but can smell it in the air. In the distance, the giant fortress of Storm\\u2019s End looms with Stannis Baratheon's small army arrayed before it. The siege looks entirely pointless. Stannis arrives and exhibits the coldness he\\u2019s famous for when expressing his sorrow about Ned\\u2019s death. He\\u2019s not there to make friends (king\\u2019s don\\u2019t have friends, only subjects and enemies), and reminds Cat that Robb will be next once he\\u2019s dealt with Renly and Joffrey.

Renly arrives and the brothers exchange unpleasantries. Each offers the other the lordship of Storm\\u2019s End if he\\u2019ll support the other\\u2019s claim to the throne. Neither will. So the talks come to nothing. As she leaves Melisandre warns Renly to look to his sins.

War is inevitable and Cat wants no part in it, but Renly refuses her request to leave. He wants her to witness his army\\u2019s power and his ruthlessness in putting down dissent (even from his own kin) so that Robb will hear of it. She goes to a nearby sept to pray.
