47 ~ Arya IX *** Discuss only this chapter and anything prior

[Omar]

I don't get why Arya doesn't reveal herself here. The Boltons and Glovers are Stark bannermen

[Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition]

I think Jaqen H'ghar is going to figure prominently in the future. I would like to know more about him.

[LENA]

I think a man should fall in love with a girl when she comes of age!!! That's how I picture Arya and Jaqen in the future. I suspect the many face god has different plans though...

[Brianna]

thoughts while reading:
Arya is sneaky! I like it. lol
Jaqen definitely has a soft spot for Arya and it's kind of adorable. He also seems to be really annoyed with her.
So... I'm not quite sure what happened. Did the Bloody Mummers switch who they were supporting? Is that how Bolton got to be in charge?

Yes! That would be great, he might be a little too magical though, is he actually real?

[Ria]

I have a theoretical question. Jaqen said he would kill any man whose name Arya said, even if it takes him a month, or two, or a year. But what happens if said man (or woman) dies before Jaqen can get to him(her)? Can Arya say another name in that case, or is the debt paid? What do you guys think?

Also, the way she played him was really smart. It was also clever of her not to trust Bolton with her real name.

Oh that is a good question. I think he is a stand up guy who would give her another pick..

[Ria]

I'm not sure he has a choice here. Maybe he has to act in a certain way? Like, maybe there are rules he has to follow? Otherwise why would he offer to kill three people for Arya? Could've been out of the goodness of his heart, but I somehow doubt it. If that were the case, he wouldn't have minded saving the northmen in the first place.

Oh and it's too bad she never chose Joffrey or Tywin instead.

I was thinking about the same thing... She should simply name these 2, Jof and Tywin and everything would be over... (view spoiler)[ But then I remember watching on season 4 the purple wedding and it still puts a smile on my face how I screamed in joy when Jof died... So it's a good thing Arya didn't name him. It would simply take all the fun away LOL (hide spoiler)]

[Brianna]

It's such a conundrum for her. If she were to choose Tywin or Joffrey, things may be over, but who knows how long it would take for it to happen. Thus, she probably focused on immediate action so she could escape.

Yes Lena. Me too. I look forward to it in the book too.
