Quotes 

• [Ned finds Arya trying to balance on one leg at the top of some steps] 

  Arya Stark : Syrio says a water dancer can stand on one toe for hours.

  Eddard Stark : It's a hard fall down these steps.

  Arya Stark : Syrio says every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better.

  [Arya puts her foot down] 

  Arya Stark : Tomorrow I'm going to be chasing cats.

  Eddard Stark : Cats? Syrio says...

  Arya Stark : He says every swordsman should study cats. They're as quiet as shadows and as light as feathers. You have to be quick to catch them.

  Eddard Stark : He's right about that.

  Arya Stark : Now that Bran's awake, will he come live with us?

  Eddard Stark : Well, he needs to get his strength back first.

  Arya Stark : He wants to be a knight of the Kingsguard. He can't be one now, can he?

  Eddard Stark : No, but someday he could be lord of a holdfast, or sit on the king's council, or he might raise castles like Brandon the Builder.

  Arya Stark : Can I be lord of a holdfast?

  [Ned chuckles and kisses Arya's forehead] 

  Eddard Stark : You will marry a high lord and rule his castle, and your sons shall be knights and princes and lords.

  Arya Stark : No... that's not me.

  [Arya resumes standing on one leg] 

• Arya Stark : Why do they call you Littlefinger?

  Sansa Stark : Arya!

  Septa Mordane : Don't be rude.

  Petyr Baelish : [smiles]  No, it's quite all right. When I was a child, I was very small and I come from a little spit of land called "The Fingers", so you see, it's an exceedingly clever nickname.
