The mud was nice between her toes, and she liked to feel the earth underfoot when she walked. From up here, she could see a small wooded island off to the northeast. Thirty yards from shore, three black swans were gliding1 over the water, so serene2... no one had told them that war had come, and they cared nothing for burning towns and butchered men. She stared at them with yearning3. Part of her wanted to be a swan. The other part wanted to eat one. She had broken her fast on some acorn4 paste and a handful of bugs6. Bugs weren’t so bad when you got used to them. Worms were worse, but still not as bad as the pain in your belly7 after days without food. Finding bugs was easy, all you had to do was kick over a rock. Arya had eaten a bug5 once when she was little, just to make Sansa screech8, so she hadn’t been afraid to eat another. Weasel wasn’t either, but Hot Pie retched up the beetle9 he tried to swallow, and Lommy and Gendry wouldn’t even try. Yesterday Gendry had caught a frog and shared it with Lommy, and, a few days before, Hot Pie had found blackberries and stripped the bush bare, but mostly they had been living on water and acorns10. Kurz had told them how to use rocks and make a kind of acorn paste. it tasted awful. She wished the poacher hadn’t died. He’d known more about the woods than all the rest of them together, but he’d taken an arrow through the shoulder pulling in the ladder at the towerhouse. Tarber had packed it with mud and moss
