Benjen rides to Winterfell from the Wall to attend the feast held when King Robert Baratheon rides to the castle from the south. He talks with his brother's bastard, Jon Snow, about direwolves and the Night's Watch. Benjen suggests that Jon father some bastards of his own before joining the Watch. 
Benjen is dismayed when Tyrion Lannister tells him that he will be accompanying him north. He leads the party to the Wall, and is joined by Yoren at a holdfast. Benjen shares a shelter with his nephew.
