“A girl?” Jon sat, rubbing the sleep from his eyes with the back of his hands. “Val? Has Val returned?”

 

“Not Val, m’lord. This side of the Wall, it were.”

 

Arya. Jon straightened. It had to be her.

 

[…]

 

He wanted to believe it would be Arya. He wanted to see her face again, to smile at her and muss her hair, to tell her she was safe. She won’t be safe, though. Winterfell is burned and broken and there are no more safe places.

If we don’t get a reunion of these two at one point I’ll be pissed off D:! Loooooook how much they miss each other <3!

"With their black hoods and thick black cowls, the six might have been carved from shadow. Their voices rose together, small against the vastness of the night. 'Night gathers, and now my watch begins,' they said, as thousands had said before them. Satin's voice was sweet as song, Horse's hoarse and halting, Arron's a nervous squeak, 'It shall not end until my death.'

 

May those deaths be long in coming. Jon Snow sank to one knee in the snow. Gods of my fathers, protect these men. And Arya too, my little sister, wherever she might be. I pray you, let Mance find her and bring her safe to me."

Jon, can you be anymore heartbreaking?!

So, what I don't understand about Arya is this: at this point she's pretty much driven by her desire for revenge, because that's all that's left to her (she thinks). She wants to become a Faceless Man because she thinks that the House of Black and White will train her to be a killer, so she can avenge her family. And here's what's bothering me: if you have to give up your identity in order to become a Faceless Man ... wouldn't that include giving up any feelings of revenge you might have had in your life prior to joining the House of Black and White? So why does she want to join them so badly? Or doesn't she realise that? I'm slightly confused on that point ...
