Game of Thrones/Recap/S1/E09 Baelor: Difference between revisions

Then it's chaos on the steps of the Sept of Baelor. Everyone on the dais, from Cersei to Varys, yells for Joffrey to change his mind. The only exceptions are Littlefinger, who stands aloof, and Lord Janos Slynt and Ser Ilyn Payne, who hasten to obey His Majesty's orders. Joffrey shakes off the protesters, a smug little grin on his face. Arya stares down at the crowd, appalled at the sight of all these people cheering at the idea of her father's death. She jumps down from the statue and starts hustling towards the dais, one hand on Needle. The crowd is jostling, yelling, heedless. ([[Holy Shit Quotient|Audiences are hardly calmer]].) Slynt forces Ned to his knees whilst Payne advances, donning the black hood of his office. Arya is intercepted by Yoren, who tells her to not look and blocks her view with his body.

 

 

There is a swish and a squelch. Then the only noise is a [[Disturbed Doves|flock of pigeons]], and Arya's breathing as she screws her eyes shut and presses her face into Yoren's chest.
