A Storm of Swords
In 300 AC, the squire visits the Inn at the Crossroads with Polliver and the Tickler, to lose his virginity to one of the whores there. Sandor Clegane and Arya Stark arrive at the inn for wine and information; Sandor converses with Gregor's men, and the drunk squire insults the Hound for fleeing King's Landing in the Battle of the Blackwater and will not be quiet until the Tickler torments him. When Sandor refuses to go to Harrenhal with his brother's men, a fight ensues. The squire tries to join in, but Arya throws a wine cup at him and knocks him down. During the fight, the squire tries to attack Arya, and she stabs him in the belly with his own knife. After the fight is over, the squire is still alive but mortally wounded. He cries and begs for mercy, asks to be taken to a maester, and says his father has gold. Sandor says the squire will be a long time dying, tells Arya to give him mercy, and asks if she remembers where the heart is. She takes Needle, which she had recovered from Polliver's body, and kills the squire.[2]
