A Clash of Kings - Only Three

He laid a finger on her lips. “Three lives you shall have of me. No more, no less. Three and we are done. So a girl must ponder.“ He kissed her hair softly . “But not too long.“

A Clash of Kings - Chapter 30 - Arya

Arya gets woken by Jaqen H'ghar who has joined Amory Lorch’s mercenaries. She expects he’ll kill her, only for him to offer to kill three people for her. I like how this came out. Technically, Mr. Martin didn’t say anything about Jaqen having a lantern, but he leaves a lot of things out. I might as well use it to my advantage once in a while.

Honestly felt super satisfying as a long time fan to see the movie with the reveal at the end. Everything in the show has been dragged out so much and made so complicated that it’s become sort of off-putting. But the movie really pulled me into the characters again and made everything better.

You’ll understand after watching Miraculous Awakening.

what is the characteristic of Arya and Jaqen pairing ?

I would love to say that Arya's and Jaqen's relationship is all about equality but the truth is Jaqen will always bend to her will.

It is established at the beginning of their story, in Harrenhal. As you probably remember, Jaqen offers Arya the lives of three men she chooses. He wants to express his gratitude for Arya's compassion and courage which drove her to saving his life. It seems a fitting gift from the assassin.

But later, when Arya comes to Braavos, she learns from the Kindly Man that it is forbidden to use the skills of the faceless men for personal purpose. The priest overhears Arya's prayer/kill list and tells her that she can't learn from them when all she wants is to use this knowledge to kill the men she hates. He says they hear many such prayers in the House of Black and White but they don't grant them. Arya then recalls Jaqen in Harrenhal:

"Jaqen H'ghar had granted three of her prayers once. All I had to do was whisper..." ACOK, GRRM

We learn that Jaqen offered Arya all the power he himself and the faceless men possessed to do as she pleases. And Arya is begging to realize that she has some sort of power over him.

Overall, Jaqen treated Arya as his equal and a lady at the same time. He understood her need for revenge, he never minded her carrying a sword and training and he offered her the coin so she could go to Braavos and learn from the faceless men. He also protected her and was very chivalrous calling her his Lady of Stark. So, first thing that springs to mind about them is equality. Still, the quote above tells us that Jaqen has a soft spot for Arya and I think it will become even more obvious when they meet again.

say it again

I wish Jaqen could have taken a bit more of a mentor role in Aryas Story… oh well, maybe they will meet again in the future, different roads sometimes lead to the same castle after all!

Hyped about the new episode, so heres more Arya!!

[also-thatbasketcase]

Aryas storyline was one of the few redeeming things this season.

I can’t wait to see what happens next in Braavos and how she will deal with being blind, also I can’t help but wish that Jaqen would offer her some sort of comfort. The girl really needs a hug and some friendly words once in a while…

Request : “ Sorry if this is bothering you. But I thought of something more specific Jaqen and Arya. In that bath scene where Arya had to go see him. If you remember it…”
