Sansa (Pg. 293-304)

Sansa goes to the Hand's tourney with Septa Mordane and Jeyne Poole. Sansa watches the tournament with amusement. During a match, Gregor kills Hugh, Jon Arryn's young former squire, by shoving his lance into Hugh's throat. Hugh's body lands in front of Sansa, and she watches unfazed as Hugh bleeds out. After the tournament, Sansa and Septa Mordane go to the feast held by King Robert. Joffrey sits next to Sansa and acts like there is no conflict between the two of them. At the end of the night, Joffrey makes Hound escort Sansa back to her room. While on their walk back to Sansa's room, Hound tells Sansa how Gregor burned his face on hot coals when they were younger because he took Gregor's toy knight. What really grabbed my interest in this chapter is that Sansa wasn't fazed by Hugh's death. She even explains how the blood was coming out in a pulsating rhythm. This makes me think that Sansa can be bold and brave whenever she is needed. I feel that later in the book she will play a big part in an important event.
