Littlefinger says he came here directly from Renly and Tywin shares the rumor he heard about how Tywin died: "Murdered by a woman, I hear." That's not entirely wrong, really. Arya stands behind Littlefinger as he talks about dark forces. Tywin thinks men love to blame demons for their own screw-ups. Littlefinger thinks this could be an opportunity, which Tywin ridicules as too obvious. Obviously it's an opportunity. Anyone can tell that! But Littlefinger has a specific opportunity in mind. He points out that the Tyrells are up for grabs. And there are more of them than just Loras and Margaery, although they're the decision-makers. Loras wants revenge and Margaery wants to be queen. Tywin points out that they're both traitors, especially Loras, who actively encouraged Renly to declare himself king. Littlefinger suggests punishing their treason "one day" after defeating Stannis. Arya brings Littlefinger more wine and he seems to recognize her. But then he has to concentrate on the possibility of riding to Highgarden on yet another errand. Tywin dismisses Arya. As she leaves, Littlefinger starts to tell Tywin that he met with Catelyn on the directive of Tyrion. Are you following all that? There were a lot of names in it. Tyrion Lannister, Tywin's son (the short one) told Littlefinger to go meet with Catelyn Stark without the knowledge of Cersei. And now Littlefinger's making sure Tywin knows. "Why?" "He had an interesting proposal for her. Concerning her daughters." That offer was "We'll trade Sansa and Arya Stark for Jaime Lannister." Arya leaves the room, which can't have been easy, considering the topic of discussion. And then we don't get to see what happens, which I personally object to. This isn't the book! Just because Arya's not there doesn't mean we can't listen in.
