Because he always embarrasses me.

[ in front of her friends. thanks, pain in the ass big brother. ]

[He rolls his eyes]

Aye, because he's older.

You don't.

[ just in case, she wags her finger at him. ]

Don't think you can start now.

When have I let you tell me how I can or can't act?

[But he's teasing]

[ the corners of her mouth twitch tellingly, but she manages to retain a serious expression. ]

Always.

I don't think so. Have you not heard? The Lord Commander kneels to no king, nor queen.

It's a good job I am not a king or queen. I am your sister and what I say goes.

Too small, yet.

[He picks her up and over his shoulder she goes]

Hey—! Jon! Put me down!

[ indignant shrieks aside, she's spluttering with laughter. ]

No, I don't think so.

Jon! You're going to get wet!

[ jon snow. only man who can do this and not get punched in the head. ]

Aye? I've been wet before!

You were the one fighting about it before! Put me down!

[ or she will somehow scramble onto his back and use him for a pony, don't think she won't. ]

[He's got a pretty good grip on her]

No, I don't think I will.

[ and this would be arya—trying. no one can say she's not a fighter to the bitter end. ]

I am not a sack of potatoes! Jon— Are you going to carry me all day?!

[Suffer, small child]

Mayhaps.

[ a bit more struggling and she finally slumps bonelessly on top of him in defeat. ]

Yoren lied.

About?

He said there would be no rest for us at the Wall. He forgot to say the Lord Commander carries his men.

You are not a man of the Night's Watch.

I could have been. Yoren said I had to pretend else I'd be sent back to King's Landing or raped first. [ she straightens as well as she can. ] Would I have to take the black?

You can't take the black, Arya. If Yoren was so worried about rape, then the last place he would take you is the Night's Watch.

[Yoren just knew that Jon would be there, that North was safety, in some form or another]

[ she cants her head. ]

Is it really so bad?

Some of the men are good men. But many are not. More, still, might see a young girl trying to be a boy and think that she has no place, and that they should teach her what that place is.

But I would not let that happen to you. Ever. Do you understand?

[ the description does not frighten or even surprise her. across the sea or in the riverlands or at the wall, men are the same.

arya brushes his hair back, tucks some of it behind his ear careful not to dislodge the flower. ]

I know.

[ if there is anything she knows for true, jon will keep her safe. ]
