Raff was one of Gregor's men, so she kills for Arya again. We'll quickly find out how close a tabs the House of Black and White is keeping on herUnder the identity of "Mercedene" or "Mercy", Arya is now a mummer at a playhouse called the Gate, owned by Izembaro. She is still experiencing wolf dreams, the latest with a tree watching her.
When Ser Harys Swyft arrives in Braavos on a mission to negotiate with the Iron Bank of Braavos, the mummers of the Gate perform the play The Bloody Hand in which Arya plays a maid, presumably Sansa Stark, who is raped by Tyrion, played by a dwarf named Bobono.
However, as the play is about to begin, Arya notices two of Swyft's guards talking. One of them is Raff the Sweetling. She seduces him and takes him to her room. She tires him out by running there, and thus she is able to stab him in his thigh, cutting his femoral artery and rendering him unable to walk. Rafford pleads to have him carried to a healer, but Arya replies: "Think so?" and stabs him in the throat, just as he did to the disabled Lommy. Arya throws his corpse in a canal and heads back to the Gate before she is due to come on stage.
Exactly, that's how I took it- the dudes that attacked them on the boat where completely covered in greyscale... how that merchant got greyscale on a doll, well that we can just assume is some form of smallpox blanket.Touch greyscale to get greyscale. Jorah touching other people with his hands doesn't matter because the greyscale hasn't spread beyond his wrist which he has kept covered.
Punishment for using the mask for "taking a life that wasn't hers to take"I forgot to ask, what's with Arya going blind?
This. Plus if waging a war is the bargain option then nobody can afford that shit.Your product must be wildly overpriced if Tywin can't afford it.
The joke was that House Lannister didn't have a Valyrian sword at that point and had been trying to get one for several generations. So setting the price of an assassination at a Valyrian sword would have been ironically appropriate.No, if they wanted what was most dear to Tywin, they'd take Jaime, not a sword.
Ah, thanks. That's what I was looking for.Jaquen says that if someone uses the mask it drives them blind, that it must be no one.
So it's either punishment or it's just how the magic works.
