Brandon feels useless since he has to sit in the room with Old Nan. Before the accident, he has enjoyed listening to the stories told by the woman. However, now he is abrupt and he orders Old Nan to stop telling her tales. This is due to the fact that he is alone, nobody visits him. What is more, he feels that because of his disability his family has abandoned him. In addition, Eddard Stark promises his son that he will take him to Kings Landing, and when the boy wakes up his father has already left Winterfell. Moreover, Brandon tries to contact with Jon or Ned. Maester Luwin helps him to write letters to them. However, he receives no answer.
