In Braavos, Samwell Tarly learns that Dareon had wasted his money on the Sailor's Wife, a prostitute who works at the Happy Port, and plans to marry her. Samwell attacks Dareon after he refuses to come with him, and is thrown out of the establishment into a canal.[1]

Arya Stark, disguised as the Braavos street urchin and fish peddler Cat of the Canals, becomes friends with the women of the Happy Port, and often sells her wares there. She also frequently recommends the whores to newly-arrived sailors. One of the patrons, Roggo, while waiting to see Lanna, teaches Cat how to use a finger knife.[2]

Dareon, after deserting the Night's Watch, stays by the Happy Port and often plays songs to the whores there. One night after Dareon leaves the establishment, Arya follows him and slits his throat to execute him for desertion.[2]
