Actually, it was Lady Stark who informed me of that wedding feast. A terrible thing, so of course she tried to lay blame for it on House Lannister.
[Another gap of knowledge which Jaime must trust to someone else to bridge for him. At least Littlefinger is ostensibly an ally. It is not beneath him to lie for his own benefit, of course--but Jaime cannot see the angle that might move Baelish to lie about what he says of Greyjoy and the Stark children.]
And I hope I won't be expected to thank Greyjoy for that victory. The last I knew of him, he was smirking at me on the wrong side of a bloody cage after the Battle of the Whispering Wood. I suppose I must have seen him in passing after that, but every one of Stark's men looked much the same to me.
[It's nearly funny, how little he has thought of the Stark children left at Winterfell. A crippled child was as good as dead anyways, he had once said as much to Cersei. The things I do for love, murder and betrayal and oathbreaking. Turning a cloak could be done for love. Perhaps that's what moved Greyjoy toward betrayal.]
I assume Jon Snow's guilt in that death is indirect as well. If you tell me he betrayed the Starks too, I won't know what to think of the world any longer.
