The Million And One Ways Arya Could (Should) Have Been Mentioned - Chapter 69

“It’s good to see you.” Jon said sincerely as he and Tormund paired off together ahead of the others.

“You as well, Southerner.” Tormund replied, making Jon smile.

“Are you coming back to Winterfell after this?” Jon asked.

“I thought this mission was taking you back to the Dragon Queen?” Tormund questioned with a frown.

“It is – afterwards, I meant afterwards. You shouldn’t stay here.” Jon advised.

The Million And One Ways Arya Could (Should) Have Been Mentioned - Chapter 51

“Gregor fucking Clegane. Cersei fucking Lannister, The Queen. Her sister-shagging brother, Jamie fucking Lannister.” The Hound listed as he kicked at loose rocks around the larger stone refuge they’d been boxed into. The army of the dead still surrounded them, waiting.

“What are you doing?” Jorah asked, looking as tired as the others.

“So, two more Starks in Winterfell. Hardy bunch, your family.” Ser Davos praised as he and Jon walked to their rooms at Dragonstone after receiving the news of Arya and Bran.

“I don’t know how they’ve survived. They were just children. Bran can’t even walk and Arya…she was in King’s Landing. To make it home, somehow.” Jon said shaking his head.

The Million And One Ways Arya Could (Should) Have Been Mentioned - Chapter 77 - Lost, Found, Lost Again

The group ran through the snow, following Jon’s lead when he stopped as they reached a split in the path. He looked at both directions quickly, panting as he thought through the options and the others looked around. He turned to Gendry. “Run back to Eastwatch. Get a raven to Daenerys, tell her what’s happened.” He ordered. The smith was shaking his head before Jon finished his command.

“I’m not leaving you.” Gendry vowed.

“You’re the fastest –” Jon tried to argue.

“I left Arya!” Gendry yelled. “I can’t leave her brother too.” He heaved. Jon stared at him with wide eyes, all the urgency leaving him. Gendry looked back, waiting for the reprimand.

“We haven’t got time for this!” Tormund pointed out as he interrupted them, snapping Jon out of his shock. The ex-Commander of the Night’s Watch closed his eyes and let out a heavy breath before he stepped forward to address Gendry again.

The Million And One Ways Arya Could (Should) Have Been Mentioned - Chapter 76 - Faceless Enemy

“You saw what happened to Walder Frey and his family.” Jaime pointed out, adding to his argument.

“I heard.” Cersei said flatly as she turned away. “How could we ever trust a man like that?” she dismissed.

“We couldn’t. He was an old coward. But The Freys supported us. Whoever killed them is no friend of ours.” Jaime reasoned, watching Cersei’s back.

“The North Remembers’.” She quoted with a mocking disdain. “That was the warning that was supposed to make us fall back in fear? As if that Stark bastard could make a dent.” The contested Queen scoffed.

“We don’t even know it was the Starks.” Jaime pushed back. “It may be someone loyal to them, to Ned Stark, to Robb Stark. Or to the Tully’s. It could even have been the family of Robb Stark’s bride. We don’t know.” Cersei turned around to face him again.

“You think some forgotten family has just turned up out of nowhere from Essos for revenge?” Cersei ridiculed.

I’ll Tell You When I Get Back

“Don’t go trying to be a hero. I know you’re capable but let the others help you.” Ser Davos lectured Gendry as he was preparing to leave with the rest of the group.

“Yes, Ser Davos.” Gendry replied indulgently.

“You’re not used to the cold like the rest of them are. It’s alright if you’re not of the same skill.” Davos continued.

“It’s nice that you care.” Gendry said, his lips twitching with a smile. Davos scowled at him.

“This is such a reckless idea. Madness. Going out there, the lot of you –” The smuggler trailed off with a shake of his head as he turned away.

Everyone’s Familiar

“You’re The Hound.” Jon stated as a greeting to three men Tormund brought them to. Ser Davos and Jorah filed in around them.

“Do you want a prize?” Sandor Clegane remarked, not bothering to sit up as he lay across a bench, only briefly turning his head to look at Jon.

“Do you know who I am?” Jon asked him.

“Yet another jumped up pain in my arse Northerner?” The Hound replied.

“Aye, I might be, depending on what you’ve got to say.” Jon said, his tone echoing a slight smile that wasn’t present on his face.
