Tyrion has another busy day. Are all his days like this, or do we just happen to drop in on him when several major plot developments are going to happen in a single day?
He visits Shae's friend Simon Sevenstrings who is threatening to go public with a scandal, so Tyrion arranges for Sevenstrings to be killed by Bronn, which is so obvious you'd think Sevenstrings would have thought of that.
He has been put in charge of rebuilding the broken parts of the city, since Ser Kevan is too griefstricken from all his dead and injured sons. Tyrion doesn't know how he's going to pay for it since the treasury is empty and Tywin won't open the family coffers for that, or Joffrey's wedding. He seems to have no trouble buying expensive swords made from rare metal, though. The swords have red in them and the blacksmith doesn't know why but it's probably something to do with the Lord of Light or that comet.
Tywin is trying to get Tyrion to make sure Sansa bears him a son. Tyrion is still trying to avoid that.
News from the watch has arrived and it's not good. Tywin is trying to get them to put his man Janos Slynt in charge. Tyrion knows Slynt would be useless at it.
