Arya and the Night\u2019s Watch recruits are badgered by Gold Cloaks intent on returning one of their number to King\u2019s Landing. Despite Arya\u2019s concerns, it is Gendry who they\u2019re after. He\u2019s saved by the bravery of Yoren and his fellow recruits. Simon and Mackelly consider the implications.\xa0
Chapter Review:\xa0
Arya\u2019s journey north with Yoren and the latest members of the Night\u2019s Watch is punctuated by signs of war. Roadside graves, refugees fleeing south, and opportunistic profiteers. A stop at an inn provides an opportunity for all who have nothing to hide to get a bath. Conversation is of Robb Stark\u2019s success and the dangers of the road to come.\xa0
Arya goes outside and begins to befriend one of the three chained prisoners. He\u2019s from Essos and introduces himself as Jaqen H\u2019ghar. He apologizes for the manners of his friends Biter and Rorge. Arya gets feisty, Jaqen is impressed, and Gendry reminds her not to fraternize with the prisoners.\xa0
A contingent of Gold Cloaks arrives, looking for one of the recruits. Arya hides with Gendry explaining that she is who they seek. Yoren faces them down, with help from the other recruits, who rally to protect their comrade. Turns out that they were after Gendry. He\u2019s puzzled as to why, and also why Arya thought it would be her. Yoren makes contingency plans for when the Gold Cloaks return in greater numbers - horses for Arya and Gendry, and orders to ride north as fast as possible if trouble comes.\xa0
