"I will not be taking the matter of Petyr Baelish's treachery to the Counsel or the Small Counsel until we are through the Winter. I know that is not what you wanted to hear."
"Winter is not a time for war, small or large."
"There is a possibility his own bannermen and small folk will rise up against him, as I am sure that both he and your aunt will have made it so they get through the Winter comfortably without seeing to others in the Vale."
"I know little of my Aunt Lysa."
"She is far different now than she was as a girl. Disappointment and foolishness have made her bitter and shrewish."
"I am sorry that is so. I have heard my cousin, Lord Robert, is a sickly child."
"I do not know if he is sickly or merely weak from his mother's coddling. Lord Arryn wished me to take the boy to foster, but your aunt took him back to the Eyrie and Arryn died before he could force it to happen. I would not be surprised if Lysa had a hand in his murder somehow, although she claims it was at the hands of the Lannisters. If she did, Baelish was involved there, as well. I do believe her capable of executing such a heinous act, but not of the planning."
"Surely she did not kill her husband! Indeed, Lord Petyr might have done so, planning to win her after she was widowed."
"Your lady mother may not be in favor of going against Baelish. They were friends in childhood."
"She will not object if she believes he betrayed my lord father and that that betrayal led to his execution. The trouble will lie in keeping Arya from trying to take the lead in battle . . . Stannis, I did not tell you what I learned to have you seek revenge for my family. I am not anxious for you to return North for battle, even if it is years from now."
"Your lord father died trying to honor my claim to the throne and he is the grandsire of our son. Baelish's treachery has already profited him far too much. I will have a difficult time convincing the Small Counsel that his treachery warrants an army led by their king, but if he lives through the Winter, he will not see Summer."
