Scenes
1: Talk with Pycelle: Pycelle's testimony about JonArryn's passing: how he sent away maester Colemon for puring Arryn. Ned learns Jon Arryn's last words:"the seed is strong." Pycelle considers poison unlikely, but notes Varys might be capable of using poison.(Pycelle experiences facts in terms of who he would exonerate or see accused)
2: Talk with Arya: Arya would like a role, such as to be a king's councillor, that Ned says is reserved for men.
3: Given Leads by Littlefinger who points out spies and advises Ned use a trusted man to make inquiries rather than making them himself. Littlefinger says it was wise for Ned not to trust him.
