Tyrion has a busy day. He surveys post-battle repair needs, meets with Symon Silver Tongue, inspects two new family heirlooms, is told by his father to do the impossible, gets marital advice from his father, and participates in a discussion regarding the Night\u2019s Watch. None of it is going to make his life any easier. Simon and Mackelly pour him a tall cup of Arbor Gold.
Chapter Review:
Tyrion Lannister surveys the damages done during the battle. The repair costs will well exceed what the crown has in its coffers. Before returning to the Red Keep, he and Bronn make a detour to visit the singer Symon Silver Tongue, in a run-down wine sink. Tyrion offers to pay the man to take his act on a tour of Essos. However, Symon instead tells Tyrion that if Tyrion can\u2019t get him a spot in the singing competition at the royal wedding, he\u2019ll sing a song about Tyrion\u2019s affair with Shea for all to hear. Afterward, Tyrion tells Bronn to make sure Symon\u2019s body is never found.
Next, Tyrion learns he\u2019s been summoned by his father. Tywin Lannister shows Tyrion two new Valyrian steel swords he's commissioned. One is for Joff and the other for Jamie. Next order of business is the city repairs. Tyrion reports what he\u2019s found and that there\u2019s not enough coin to pay for the repairs. Tywin tells him he\u2019ll find the coin or Tywin will find someone who can. The topic then turns toward Tyrion\u2019s marriage to Sansa Stark. Tywin wants it consummated immediately. Tyrion asks about his father\u2019s betrothal plans for Cersei and Willas Tyrell. Tywin informs him that Mace Tyrell rejected the notion.
As Tywin begins to mention replacement suitors, Grand Maester Pycelle arrives. He\u2019s gotten a letter from Castle Black asking for more men. Tywin couldn't care less about the Night\u2019s Watch\u2019s woes. However, he does see an opportunity to put a Lannister loyalist in charge of the Black Brothers. He wants Pycelle to respond that the crown can\u2019t help at the moment but King Joffrey sends his best wishes to his faithful friend Lord Janos Slynt.
