[ GEFION PARK ; 411 ]

[ She's spent most of her time keeping an eye out for familiar faces - and been sorely disappointed - which is the main reason why Arya appears to be sulking so much when she wanders into the park for a bit of a break.

...Or, well - sulking more than usual at least. She walks along with her hands in her pockets and shoes scuffing along the floor, head only jerking up whenever movement catches her eye. Best not sneak up on her. She's got Needle strapped to her side, with no intention of letting the sword out of her sight, and she's more jumpy than usual these days. ]

[ THE ARENA ; 412 ]

[ Come on, as if I need to explain this one. She's training. By herself, with a wooden mock up sword at times or just throwing her fists at others, she works herself to the point of exhaustion - and then, she starts growing curious about this power of hers. Catch her fighting away, or perhaps being pestered by questions about the powers in her particular House - Arya's being Body control, one that really doesn't belong in the hands of a ten year old, to be honest. ]

[ A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK ; 413 ]

[ Stumbling upon this place is a direct result of sticking her nose in other people's business - in this case, by following someone who Arya decides looks a little on the shady side. She sticks around in the shop after the decidedly not shady stranger leaves, poking around at the odds and ends in the store and inspecting them closely.

She hasn't got any money that she can spend, of course, but that doesn't stop her from hanging around far beyond her welcome anyway. ]

[ CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE ]

[ want to run into arya somewhere else? got something that doesn't fit here? throw it at me anyway. ]

[ Even if Arya had assumed that she was going to be caught before this and kicked out, she isn't expecting to be confronted quite so abruptly as that. She jumps, banging her head as she jerks it back to look up at him, and then just scowls sullenly as she rubs the back of her head as though it were his fault she'd just done that.

And not, you know, hers for skulking around by the edge of the bar in the first place. Nope, obviously Sirius. ]

I don't want a drink, [ duh sirius ] wine makes you stupid.

[ Although, she is pretty thirsty, so she narrows her eyes slightly and turns so that she can look at him without craning her head back. Still on the floor though, she doesn't want everyone knowing she's here. ]

Why aren't you throwing me out?

[doggedly]

[He raises his eyebrows at that sharp answer but doesn't lean back, his elbows still resting on the bar. At her question, he gives a moment of thought, before he shrugs.]

Don't see what you're doing that requires you being kicked out. Unless you're picking pockets or something down there, but you've been holding too still for too long for that to be the case, so...

Actually, you ought to have a drink if you're going to be in here. Fairly sure that's a rule.
