“I always wanted to do the right thing. Be the right kind of person. But I never knew what that meant. It always seemed like there’s like there was an impossible choice I had to make. Stark or Greyjoy”. (requested by the-taste-of-dreams)
I thought you’d be heading for Winterfell. Why would I go there? The Boltons have it. No, the Boltons are dead. What? Jon Snow came down from Castle Black with a wildling army and won the Battle of the Bastards. He’s King of the North now. You’re lying. Why would I lie about that? He’s your brother, right?
’That’s not you’ is a direct reference to what Arya Stark herself said to her father when Ned Stark painted this picture for her of the life she could have as a lady of a castle and marrying some lord and wearing a nice frilly dress. This scene hearkens back to Season 1. When she finally finds Nymeria again, or Nymeria finds her, and she of course wants her to come back home with her and be her loyal companion again, but Nymeria’s found her own life. David Benioff
