A Clash of Kings – Blood
“You killed him!” Hot Pie gasped.
“What did you think I would do?” Her fingers were sticky with blood, and the smell was making her mare skittish. It’s no matter, she thought, swinging up into the saddle. The rain will wash them clean again.
A Clash of Kings Chapter 63 – Arya
In order to escape Harrenhal, Arya commits her first premeditated murder. Seeing the blood everywhere, Hotpie is horrified. But the wolf is back and Arya pays him no mind. The rain will wash everything off after all.
I briefly considered doing the previous paragraph where Arya actually kills the guard but I wasn’t sure how to make the composition work. Or at least figure it out in a way to do a picture in under a half-hour. I think I like Arya asserting her dominance by just standing there better anyway.
