Arya’s miserable life in Harrenhal continues. Weese’s petty cruelties take their toll and she gives Jaqen H’ghar her tormentor’s name. The Lorathi assassin delivers on his promise. Tywin and his army leave to fight Robb. Simon and Mackelly plan Arya’s third wish.
Chapter Review:
Arya Stark is kept busy running messages for Weese. He has no clue that she can read, so he doesn’t bother sealing them. The intel she gathers is utterly pointless. Meanwhile, the castle bustles as Tywin Lannister's army prepares to move out. Apparently he’s had enough of Robb winning at every turn. Amory Lorch and his men will stay to garrison Harrenhal.
She hears gossip of Robb’s exploits, most of which sound fabulous, but hearten her nonetheless. After a gratuitous slap from Weese she bumps into Rorge. He is his usual charming self, threatening to make good on the perverse promises he made to her while he was Yoren’s captive. His bravado drops when she mentions Jaqen’s name. He’s afraid? He meekly directs her to the bathhouse.
There she whispers “Weese” in H’ghar’s ear. The next day she regrets not being more strategic with her choice, as she watches Twyin’s huge army head out to fight her brother. But Jaqen delivers as a scream alerts everyone to Weese being eaten by his own dog.
