Arya glared at the gnarled dac sex root by her feet. She dac sex realized that the
pretense was done. Gendry knew, and she had nothing in her pants to
convince him otherwise. She could draw Needle and kill him where he stood,
or else trust him. She wasn't certain she'd be able to kill him, even dac sex if
she tried; he had his own sword, and he was a lot stronger. dac sex All that was
left was the truth. "Lommy and Hot Pie can't know," she said.
&dac sex quot;They won't," he swore. "Not from me."
"Arya." She raised her eyes to his. "My name is Arya. Of House Stark."
"Of House . . ." It dac sex took him a moment before he said, "The King's dac sex Hand was
named dac sex Stark. The one they killed for a traitor."
"He was never a traitor. He was my father."
Gendry's eyes widened. "So that's why you thought . . ."
She nodded. "Yoren was taking me dac sex home to dac sex Winterfell."
"I . . . you're highborn then, a . . . you'll be a lady . . ."
Arya looked down at her ragged clothes and bare dac sex feet, all cracked and
callused. She saw the dirt under her nails, the scabs on her elbows, the
scratches on dac sex her hands. Septa Mordane wouldn't

might, but she'd pretend not to. "My mother's a lady, and my sister, but I

Gendry seemed uncertain, almost afraid. "
All that about dac sex cocks, I never
should have said that. And I dac sex been pissing in front of you and everything, I
. . . I beg your pardon, m'lady."
"Stop that!"
Arya hissed. Was he mocking her?
"I know my courtesies, m'lady," Gendry said, stubborn as ever. "Whenever
highborn girls came into the shop with their fathers, my master told me I
was dac sex to bend the knee, and speak only when they spoke to me, and call dac sex them
m'lady."
&dac sex quot;If you start calling me m'lady, even Hot Pie is going to notice. And you
better keep on pissing the same way dac sex too."
&dac sex quot;As m'lady commands."
Arya slammed his chest with both hands. He tripped over a stone and sat
down with a thump. "What kind of lord's daughter are you?" he said,
laughing.
"This kind." She kicked him in the side, but it only made him dac sex laugh
dac sex harder. "You laugh all you like. I'dac sex m going to see who's in the village."
The sun had already fallen dac sex below dac sex the trees; dusk would be on them in dac sex no
time at all. For once it was Gendry who had to hurry after. "
