Arya has made it to King's Landing, but she hasn't forgotten the awfulness that occurred on the way there. She's angry at the world over it. The guys discuss each affront as well as her terrible guilt. We also provide a possibly more apt nickname alternative for Fat Tom.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and the rest of the Stark household are living in the Tower of the Hand, in King's Landing. At dinner, Arya and Sansa begin to bicker, causing Ned to lose his patience with them and leave the table. Arya, missing her brothers and upset with everyone around her, storms out as well.  Ned finds her in her room and discovers she's been blaming herself for the deaths on the Trident. Ned assures her none of it was her fault. He then compares her wild nature to that of his deceased siblings. He tells her that in the face of many new enemies in King's Landing, the three Starks must be a strong pack to survive. He lets her keep her sword Needle, and days later surprises her with sword fighting lessons.
