Arya and the Hound brave the rapids of the Trident. Arya tries many and varied ways to escape or kill the Hound, all without success. Eventually she discovers that their goals are more aligned than she thought. The Kingsroad awaits ahead, and beyond that, the Twins and Arya’s family. Mackelly and Simon buckle-up their life jackets.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane (AKA the Hound) are quoted an exorbitant rate to be ferried across the swollen Trident. Arya thinks it’s the Blackwater Rush, assuming the Hound is taking her back to King’s Landing. When the pair reach the far side of the river, after a wild ride, the Hound pays the rate with the IOU provided to him by the Brotherhood Without Banners when they took his gold. The ferryman isn’t happy, and the Hound figures that’ll prevent him from taking paper promises from any future patrons.

The Hound learns that Arya met his brother Gregor, when Gregor had taken her captive and marched her to Harrenhal. The Hound gets a kick out of the idea that Gregor had such a prized possession and didn’t realize it. The Hound tells Arya of how he saved Sansa from danger during the riot of King’s Landing and tells Arya that if she behaves they’ll make much better time. When the Hound asks Arya where she thinks they’re going, she realizes it’s not King’s Landing like she thought. It turns out he’s taking her to the Twins. He plans to ransom her to her family and hopes to be handsomely rewarded for his efforts. If they hussle, they might even make it in time for her uncle’s wedding.
