Arya's face began to heat up and her hands curled into tight fists at her sides. Was this man really just laughing at her? After everything the last few days for him to just... there was practically steam coming out of her ears as she starting to strongly consider giving the man a solid kick where it would do the most damage.
So angry was she that she almost missed what he was saying entirely, however the comment about meeting some Northerners caught her attention. If that was true... well she wasn't really sure where they were going outside the North where he expected to run into Northerners but if they were men properly loyal to her father then they'd have no problem taking her straight home! It sounded like all she had to do was keep her head down until they got there and then she'd be in the clear.
"Fine," she eventually grumbled crossing her arms over her chest and glaring down at the man's feet. She just needed to keep her cool until he sent her on her way. No doubt as long as she kept herself out of this man's line of sight he'd forget all about her after this conversation. The comment about being taken over his knee went completely over her head, the idea of someone other then her parents doing such a thing seeming far to bizarre to seriously consider. After a beat however her self control slipped a little and she looked back up to glare at the Captain's face. "But I want my sword back," she demanded.
(Hmm not too sure on the port. Braavos or Pentos maybe? I think Pentos is closer and a fairly short hop from King's Landing, while Braavos would probably have more tempting things that might get Arya in trouble later for wandering off.
As for the company I think we threw up some ideas but never decided between them. How about we go with The Sons of Snow, cause I like alliteration. lol)
