Apr. 26th, 2019 01:18 pm( Sansa hadn't wanted to come to King's Landing but her brother, Ned, had insisted upon it. He's the Hand of the King now for Robert Baratheon and he wanted Sansa to know something of court and to possibly make a marriage someday so he wanted her by his side. Sansa feels it's because he's lost Lyanna and Brandon and he wants his remaining sister close to him so he can keep her safe; Sansa isn't inclined to be away from Ned either.
With Benjen to be the Stark in Winterfell, the trip south had been planned and made, efficient enough by boat from White Harbor. Sansa knows it will be a long time before she returns to Winterfell, if ever, and she's had to prepare herself to see the back of her home and her life. This is her new life now. She's a lady-in-waiting to the new queen, Cersei, and while it is not a taxing job it does require her to be visible and at the beck and call of the queen.
She also spends a lot of time with the Kingsguard, especially Cersei's brother Jaime. He's of an age with Sansa and kind, if a bit withdrawn. She knows that he'd killed the Mad King and she hates when people call him the Kingslayer. He'd only done his duty, what needed to be done. After a particularly trying day at court, she finds him after Cersei dismisses her for the day and gives him a soft smile. )
I'm sorry they treat you that way, Ser Jaime. For what it's worth, I don't think you did anything wrong. You...the Targaryens killed my family. I lost my father, my brother and my sister because of them. I've never properly thanked you for what you've done for House Stark.
