Arya's new job mainly involves scrubbing floors until her hands bleed. At least she gets the occasional pie from Hot Pie who works in the kitchens. And she gets to hear the odd bit of news by eavesdropping on the conversations of the high and mighty, who say far too much in earshot of the servants. She finds out Robb is at Riverrun which is closer than Winterfell, and starts plotting her escape. Lord Cerwyn is a prisoner and maybe he can help her...except he dies from his wounds.
Her list of people she hates and will one day have killed grows longer. Luckily Jaqen H'ghar turns up, and since she threw him an axe and saved him and his two friends from the fire the night Yoren was killed in the raid by Ser Amory, he offers to kill three people for her in return.
Arya can't decide who to have killed, but when she hears GREGOR's man Chyswick boasting how they gang raped an inn-keeper's daughter in front of her father, the decision gets a bit easier for her.
