[As a name rolled off Arya Stark's tongue, the man did raise his chin in approval and this time, no muscle within his arm or hand made-

-any effort as to have the cane discipline the back of Arya Stark's hand as done before] Then Birdy should introduce herself, rather-

-than a girl. Arya Stark

[A twitch of a muscle within his wrist made a threat to bruise Arya Stark's knuckles as a girl continued to speak, almost looking to-

-with disapproval and question of why a girl speaks for Birdy. But he remained patient, waited for the dramatic change- Arya Stark

-in Arya Stark's demeanour] A bastard from The Crownlands? What is a girl from The Crownlands doing here in Braavos?

[A single brow hiked in question to Arya Stark's persona, his gaze scrutinising her every movement and each note that played in her-

-tone of voice] Have you ventured across Westeros? Can you inform a man of the different recipes within the Seven Kingdoms?- Arya Stark

-[The use of a direct pronoun was a compliment, a prize for the achievement of using a truthful tongue upon introduction] Arya Stark

|| I'll try think up a solo for this account asap, don't want it doing inactive.

Lost them? What good is a bread baker if she has no recipes? [He hiked an inquisitive brow, looking upon Arya Stark, a hint of -

-disbelief still evident in his eyes] A man is merely a man, merely an overseer, a voice to instruct you, Birdy. Arya Stark

[So far, her show was convincing enough. A mere stranger would take her story as truth, for they would, in truth, have- Arya Stark

-little care toward if Arya Stark was lying or not] A girl has no need to know a man. [Her name dropped, it was a warning. He looked-

-upon her with a cruel gaze, scrutinising Arya Stark in all aspects] How long has a girl been in Braavos?

The Kindly man dismissed her question entirely, deciding that such a thought belonged more so to Arya Stark rather than the- Arya Stark

-baker girl she claimed to be. "A girl should know her ways through Braavos, should she not? If she is blind to the roads- Arya Stark

-and the whereabouts, how will she know where a baker is required to be?" Arya Stark
