The outriders came on them an hour from the Green Fork, as the wayn was slogging down a muddy road. “Keep your head down and your mouth shut,” the Hound warned her as the three spurred toward them; a knight1 and two squires2, lightly armored and mounted on fast palfreys. Clegane cracked his whip at the team, a pair of old drays that had known better days. The wayn was creaking and swaying, its two huge wooden wheels squeezing mud up out of the deep ruts in the road with every turn. Stranger followed, tied to the wagon4. The big bad-tempered5 courser wore neither armor, barding, nor harness, and the Hound himself was garbed7 in splotchy green roughspun and a soot-grey mantle9 with a hood10 that swallowed his head. So long as he kept his eyes down you could not see his face, only the whites of his eyes peering out. He looked like some down-at-heels farmer. A big farmer, though. And under the roughspun was boiled leather and oiled mail, Arya knew. She looked like a farmer’s son, or maybe a swineherd. And behind them were four squat11 casks of salt pork and one of pickled pigs’ feet. The riders split and circled them for a look before they came up close. Clegane drew the wayn to a halt and waited patiently on their pleasure. The knight bore spear and sword while his squires carried longbows. The badges on their jerkins were smaller versions of the sigil sewn on their master’s surcoat; a black pitchfork on a golden bar sinister12, upon a russet field. Arya had thought of revealing herself to the first outriders they encountered, but she had always pictured grey-cloaked men with the direwolf on their breasts. She might have risked it even if they’d worn the Umber giant or the Glover fist, but she did not know this pitchfork knight or whom he served. The closest thing to a pitchfork she had ever seen at Winterfell was the trident in the hand of Lord Manderly’s merman. “You have business at the Twins?” the knight asked. “Salt pork for the wedding feast, if it please you, ser.” The Hound
