Synopsis

After their escape, Arya, Gendry, Hot Pie and Lommy waited until the next night to steal back into the ruined village. Lommy was fearful did not want to return, but when they returned Ser Amory Lorch and his men have gone. Everyone in the village was dead, and wolves or dogs had been at the corpses. Arya refuses to leave until they find Yoren’s body—he man that was going to take her back to Winterfell—and bury him; there were too many bodies to bury everyone, including the bodies of the dead Lannisters, but Arya insisted Yoren must have a grave. She wanted to cry but also to kick him, and wondered how many men he had taken down with four Lannisters around his corpse. The Lannisters had also tried to get to the lookout in the stone tower, but the Tower was inaccessible with the ladder pulled up and would not burn, so those inside were safe The poacher Kurz had taken an arrow in the shoulder pulling up the ladder, and he later died from the wound.

The Poacher was the one in among them that knew the most about the woods; Tarber had tried to help him by packing mud and moss on the wound. With the loss of the poacher, they were left to find what they could to eat. They also had to help Lommy move because of the wound in his leg. Initially Gendry helped him limp on one leg but the wound got worse and they had to carry him in a litter. Eventually Cutjack and Tarber abandoned them, taking all of Kurz’ possessions including his hunting bow and horn. Now they were mostly living on acorns and water, only Arya and Weasel had no problem eating the bugs; the worms were the worse.

Arya would have loved a bath in the water of the Gods Eye, but she dared not expose herself. She had finally thrown away her rotting shoes, and after blisters and cuts had healed; her soles had turned to leather.

Now Arya is high in a tree peering at a fishing village of Twenty-six thatch roofs and one slate and some smoking chimneys. This was the first sign of life; the Lannisters had burned and killed everything. These houses promised warmth and shelter. She also spied swans in the lake and part of her wanted to be one, and part wanted to eat it. With the nimbleness of a Water Dancer she returns to the others on the ground to report. Hot Pie thought that they should go since where there are people there is food, sure that if they yielded they would not be killed. Gendry accuses Hot Pie of sounding like Lommy who still was telling them that if Yoren had surrendered things would be alright. Hot Pie immediately states that Yoren should have surrendered. Gendry tells them that knights and lordlings take each other captive, but don’t care about the lower classes. Hot Pie and Lommy start talking about looking for dead fish on the shore or cooking crow (Gendry tells them again no fires), and then Lommy states that if his leg was good he would hunt boar; Arya had seen her father hunt boar with a boar spear, horses and men. Gendry is meanwhile thinking, and finally states they will steal food that night, and that he will scout. Arya and Lommy both object saying that Arya should go since she is quieter, so Gendry states he and Arry with go. This raises concern from Hot Pie and Lommy about being left for the wolves they had been hearing. Lommy also wants them to find a potion for his leg. Gendry tells them that Lommy has his spear to protect them from the wolve, and they will return with a potion if they find one. He then walks off, wanting to get close to the village before dark.

Arya catches up with the foot taller Gendry. She tells Gendry that they might find a maester and he replies that maesters are only in castles, and do not treat the likes of them—Arya is sure that Maester Luwin would have treated anyone. Gendry then says that Lommy is going the die and the sooner the better, in fact they should have left him—Loomy would have left one of them. He also complains about Weasel crying, and Arya tells him to leave her alone. Gendry continues with saying the Arya is the only one of the group that is useful even if she is a girl. Arya tries to object that she is a boy, but Gendry states that he is not stupid, and to prove him wrong she will have to pull out her cock. Arya agrees to tell Gendry about why the queen wants her if he tells her why the queen wants him. He tells her he wishes he knew. Therefore Arya tells him she is Arya of House Stark, and Gendry reponds that she is a high born lady, which she definitely does not now feel; nobody would know her. Gendry, realizing she is high born, is uncertain, and states calling her m’lady. Arya tells him that if he calls her that even Hot Pie will notice. When he calls her m’lady again, she slams into his chest and he falls, laughing. She then gives him a kick in the side which only makes him laugh louder. She leaves towards the village and Gendry hurries after.

As they close on the village the dead-man stink grows stronger. In the village they find a long gibbet with the dead hanging along it with crows and flies. Arya, remembering Fear cuts deeper than swords looked at each body. Beyond the gibbet stood two guards in mail and the standards of Lannister and Clegane in front of a low building. The two men turn to a shout from a third that arrives with Gendry in his helm. They shove Gendry through the heavy doors into the building. From the building Arya can hear sobs. Arya watches for hours as the armored men come go, as dinner is prepared and night falls, but she does not see an opportunity to free Gendry. Late at night she returns to Lommy and Hot Pie to apprise them of the situation. Hot Pie returns with Arya to attempt to free Gendry. As soon as they are close, a guard hears Hot Pie gasp when a crow lands on his back. The Guard booms out Who’s there, and Hot Pie immediately leaps to his feet and surrenders. Before Arya can do anything, they are surrounded, and her only sword slash is blocked by as steel arm. She takes several hard blows and her sword is wrenched away; the loss of the sword shames her for it was given to her by Jon Snow and Syrio Forel had taught her to use it.

When she his yanked to her knees, she finds herself in front of the biggest man she has ever seen, and suddenly remembers the banner with the three dogs—Sansa had told her that it was the banner of the bother of Sandor Clegane, Gregor Clegane, bigger than Hodor, the Mountain that Rides. The man tells them that they will lead them to the others, and walks off. As they walk back to where Lommy and Weasel are hiding, Hot Pie is telling the four guards that he will bake pies for them if they do not hurt him. When they arrive Lommy informs the guards that Weasel has run. Then a guard ask Lommy where they can find Beric Dondarrion. Lommy has never heard the name. One of the guards states that this lot knows no more than the cunts in the village. When they learn that Lommy cannot walk, a man casually drives a spear through his throat.
