He gets on to work for her weapon right away. Jamie goes to apologise to Bran who tells him that the reason why he didn’t speak of the window incident was that he would not have been a part of the war to come if he was murdered. He also spooks Jamie when he rhetorically questions whether there will even be an afterwards! Jamie then reunites with Tyrion who questions if Cersei lied about the baby. Tyrion proclaims that they are going to die in Winterfell. He quips that at least Cersei won’t be the one killing him and that he could kill her after he is dead.
