There’s ghosts, I know there is.” Hot Pie was kneading bread, his arms floured up to his elbows. “Pia saw something in the buttery last night.” Arya made a rude noise. Pia was always seeing things in the buttery. Usually they were men. “Can I have a tart1?” she asked. “You baked a whole tray.” “I need a whole tray. Ser Amory is partial to them.” She hated Ser Amory. “Let’s spit on them.” Hot Pie looked around nervously2. The kitchens were full of shadows and echoes, but the other cooks and scullions were all asleep in the cavernous lofts3 above the ovens. “He’ll know.” “He will not,” Arya said. “You can’t taste spit.” “If he does, it’s me they’ll whip.” Hot Pie stopped his kneading. “You shouldn’t even be here. It’s the black of night.” It was, but Arya never minded. Even in the black of night, the kitchens were never still; there was always someone rolling dough4 for the morning bread, stirring a kettle with a long wooden spoon, or butchering a hog5 for Ser Amory’s breakfast bacon. Tonight it was Hot Pie. “If Pinkeye wakes and finds you gone-” Hot Pie said. “Pinkeye never wakes.” His true name was Mebble, but everyone called him Pinkeye for his runny eyes. “Not once he’s passed out.” Each morning he broke his fast with ale. Each evening he fell into a drunken sleep after supper, wine-colored spit running down his chin. Arya would wait until she heard him snoring, then creep barefoot up the servant’s stair, making no more noise than the mouse she’d been. She carried neither candle nor taper6. Syrio had told her once that darkness could be her friend, and he was right. If she had the moon and the stars to see by, that was enough. “I bet we could escape, and Pinkeye wouldn’t even notice I was gone,” she told Hot Pie. “I don’t want to escape. It’s better here than it was in them woods. I don’t want to eat no worms. Here, sprinkle some flour on the board.” Arya cocked her head. “What’s that?” “What? I don’t-” “Listen with your ears, not your mouth. That was a warhorn. Two blasts, didn’t you hear? And there, that’s the portcullis chains, someone’s going out or coming in. Want to go see?” The gates of Harrenhal had not been opened since the morning Lord Tywin had marched with his host. “I’m making the morning bread,” Hot Pie complained. “Anyhow I don’t like it when it’s dark, I told you.” “I’m going. I’ll tell you after. Can I have a tart?” “No.” She
