“Lannisters,” Thoros said. “Roaring red and gold.” He lurched to his feet and went to Lord Beric. Lem and Tom wasted no time joining them. Arya could not make out what they were saying, but the singer kept glancing at her, and one time Lem got so angry he pounded a fist against the wall. That was when Lord Beric gestured for her to come closer. It was the last thing she wanted to do, but Harwin put a hand in the small o f her back and pus hed her forward. She took two steps and hesitated, full of dread. “M y lo rd. ” She waited to hear what Lord Beric would sa y.

“Te ll her, ” the lightning lord commanded Thoros.

The red priest squa tted down beside her. “M y lad y, ” he s a id, “the Lord granted me a view of Riverrun. An island in a sea of fire, it seemed. The flames were leaping lions with long crimson claws. And how they roared! A sea of Lannisters, my lady. Riverrun will soon come under attack.”

Arya felt as though he’d punc hed her in the belly. “No!”

“Sweetling, ” said Thoros, “the flames do not lie. Somet imes I read them wrongly, blind fool that I am. But not this time, I think. The Lannisters will soon have Riverrun under siege.” “Robb will beat them.” Arya go t a stubborn look. “He’ll beat them like he did before.” “Your brot her may be go ne,” said Thoros. “Your mother as well. I did not see them in the flames. This wedding the old one spoke of, a wedding on the Twins... she has her own ways of knowing things, that one. The weirwoo ds whisper in her ear when she sleeps. If she says your mother is go ne to the Twins...”

Arya turned on Tom and Lem. “If you hadn’t caught me, I would have been there. I would ha ve been ho me.”

Lord Beric paid no heed to her outburst. “M y lad y, ” he said with weary courtesy, “would you know your grandfather’s brot her by sight? Ser Brynde n Tully, called the Blackfish? Would he know you, perchance?”

Arya shook her head miserably. She had heard her mother speak of Ser Brynde n Blackfish, but if she had ever met him herself it had been when she was too little to remember. “Small chance the Blackfish will pay good coin for a girl he doesn’t know,” sa id To m. “T hose Tullys are a sour, suspicious lot, he’s like to think we’re selling him false goods.” “We’ll convince him,” Le m Le mo nc lo ak ins ist ed. “She will, or Harwin. Riverrun is closest. I say we take her there, get the gold, and be bloody well done with her.” “And if the lions catch us inside the castle?” sa id To m. “They’d like nothing better than to hang his lordship in a cage from the top of Casterly Rock.
