Robert's death was even shorter in the books! And rather matter-of-hand. Two-three pages from the time Ned learns about it till Robert dies in his sleep.
What the show cut was that a couple of days ago, while Renly was hunting, Loras had wanted to go on a hunt of his own - for Ser Gregor - but Ned refused him because it wouldn't have been justice but vengeance. And sent someone else while disapproving of Loras' flawless fashion sense. Varys eyerolled about how Ned fails at basic politics - making enemies of the Lannisters while making no friends with the Tyrells.
GAH, ASOIAF CLIFFHANGERS, I can't handle them. I also love Jon and his wall posse, his presence makes up for Loras' absence!
