This place was truly a wonder, Arya was coming to learn this more and more every day. So many of the people that she had her family had come to love and lose over the years were returning to them in one way or another. Being with her family again had brought Arya more joy than she knew she was capable of experiencing or expressing. She had been jaded and angry for so long, so hellbent on revenge, to be able to stop, to breathe, to enjoy life…it had been as exhilarating as any one of her kills had been.
But now Gendry was here. Gendry who she still had feelings for despite turning down his marriage proposal. Gendry who did not remember their time together, did not remember the battle of Winterfell, what came before, what came after. How do you tell a man he took your virginity? And why did the thought of being Lady Baratheon not sound so horrifying as the thought of being a Lady in her mind had once been?
Before being brought to this strange land, she had been readying her ship gifted to her by Bran and Sansa. She had been planning on asking Gendry to go with her, to leave Stormsend and travel the world with her—to just be Arya and Gendry, no Lady Stark, no Lord Baratheon. Too bad she’d never know what his answer would be.
They had been talking about idle nonsense until they reached the gates, before she turned and looked at him carefully.
“You’re really not just having a laugh at me? You don’t remember the battle? The battle plans? The hours before?”
