Actor must be able to do a Northern English accent. Arya is quiet, reserved and chooses her words carefully. At this point in her character development she is very serious and almost speaks in riddles. Very singleminded, she is a master assassin with the attitude to match.
Father used to watch us from up here. He wouldn’t say much. You probably don’t remember, you were inside knitting all the time. One time the boys were shooting arrows with Ser Rodrick. I came out here after, and Bran had left his bow behind just lying on the ground. Ser Rodrick would have cuffed him if he saw. There was one arrow in the target, and there was no one around, just like now, no one to stop me. So I started shooting, and every shot I had to go up there, get my one arrow, and walk back and shoot it again. I wasn’t very good. Finally I hit the bullseye. Could have been the 20th or the 50th, I don’t remember, but I hit the bullseye, and I hear this *clap clap clap* I looked up, and he’s standing right here, smiling down at me. I knew what I was doing was against the rules, but he was smiling so I knew it wasn’t wrong. The rules were wrong.
