Lucy was unsure what this Joffrey had done to the Starks, but it couldn't have been good. Perhaps he'd betrayed them? It would have had to be a worse betrayal than Edmund's she thought, for they seemed rather unwilling to forgive. Curious she lurked about the room, listening in to bits of conversation, hoping to learn more.
Susan leaned to whisper in her sister's ear, knowing this would mean nothing to her unless she explained. Her voice was low enough that only Lucy could hear. "Joffrey was the king that ordered Lord Stark put to death," she whispered, "and was for a time engaged to Sansa. His family and the Starks are mortal enemies, and he is dangerous and cruel." Susan wished she knew what he looked like, so as to avoid him, but all she knew was that the sigil of House Lannister was a lion.
"Yes," whispered Susan. "I shall tell you more back at the house, but for now listen, and be careful." She didn't expect she and Lucy would be in any harm, but everything she'd heard about the Lannisters told her they were all completely mad, and she wanted nothing to do with them.
"Of course," She thought she was always careful, but since the other week she'd been more vigilant, not that it stopped her from wandering the island alone. "It will be alright though. He wouldn't hurt anyone here, would he?"
