Outside the feast, Jon Snow is practicing his sword. His uncle Benjen Stark, First Ranger of the Night's Watch, lands to join the feast. Jon Snow immediately greets his uncle. Benjen Stark asked why Jon is not at the feast. Jon said that Catelyn thought a bastard’s presence would insult the royal family. Benjen told Jon that he's always welcome at the Wall. Jon asks him to take him back to the Wall with him. Benjen agrees to consider it. Tyrion Lannister then arrives and talks to Jon. He pointed out that Jon is a bastard. He said that Jon is too quick to take offense when his illegitimacy is pointed out. Tyrion gives Jon some advice: “Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not, wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you.” When Jon angrily asks Tyrion what he knows about being a bastard, Tyrion replies that "all dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes."
