Chapter Thirty-Two - Tyrion 4 - A Storm of Swords | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

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

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’s 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’t get him a spot in the singing competition at the royal wedding, he’ll sing a song about Tyrion’s affair with Shea for all to hear. Afterward, Tyrion tells Bronn to make sure Symon’s body is never found.
Next, Tyrion learns he’s 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’s found and that there’s not enough coin to pay for the repairs. Tywin tells him he’ll find the coin or Tywin will find someone who can. The topic then turns toward Tyrion’s marriage to Sansa Stark. Tywin wants it consummated immediately. Tyrion asks about his father’s 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’s gotten a letter from Castle Black asking for more men. Tywin couldn't care less about the Night’s Watch’s 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’t help at the moment but King Joffrey sends his best wishes to his faithful friend Lord Janos Slynt.
