This had to be one of Arya's favourite weekends, if not her very favourite. She got to be herself, only different. And not really different, only older

John'd been up to his eyeballs in kids all day, and he was about ready to just head back to his hut and hide out for the rest of the weekend. Except there really weren't as many adults anymore, and one of the few council members left alone couldn't really do something as undignified as hiding.

Even if he wanted to. A lot.

He was half distracted as he made his way down on the beach on patrol without Dwight (thank god) when he caught sight of Arya doing some water dancing. Granted, she was a bit taller and different in ways John wasn't thinking about, but he'd seen her do those moves enough times to recognize her a mile away.

"I see you've changed again," he commented as he jogged up.

"You didn't," Arya said, and did a very job of convincing herself she was not feeling a little bit pleased at this discovery. She finished a move and rested Romance's point in the sand. "Are you disappointed, or happy you don't have to get me to reach things for you?"

"Happy I'm still me, but ready to shoot the next kid who tries to climb into my ferris wheel," John admitted, shooting Arya a look at the kid crack. Just because he'd been small as a kid didn't mean he couldn't take care of himself.

"Have there been a lot of them?" Arya said. "I mean, it doesn't go if it's not turned on, so why try to sneak onto it? You'd just sit there. At the bottom."

"What, you haven't tried to climb up all those bars yet?" John asked, giving Arya a disappointed head shake. "I'm surprised."

"They're all regular-like," Arya said, defensively. "Where's the challenge in that? I could get to the top of that wheel in my sleep."

"You sure you're not just saying that?" John asked, though he knew Arya could probably scale the thing in her sleep. Her indignation is something he's used to, though. Unlike other parts of her. Which he isn't thinking about.

"Do I ever just say things?" Arya said, cocking a challenging eyebrow and tossing her head to get her ponytail off her shoulder, where she'd been unconsciously toying with it.
