meanwhile, arya and the hound continue their journey east. along the way, they come upon a badly wounded man, who the hound kills out of mercy. immediately after, they are attacked by biter and rorge, who were part of the night's watch caravan that arya travelled with. biter bites the hound's neck, and the hound kills him. the hound believes that the outlaws are trying to kill him because he insulted joffrey, but rorge explains that joffrey is dead and that the bounty on the hound's head is for killing lannister soldiers. arya recalls that rorge had previously threatened to rape her, and, after learning his name, stabs him in the heart. later, while the hound tries to stitch his neck wound, arya offers to cauterize the wound, but the hound refuses due to his pyrophobia. he recounts how his brother gregor caused his facial burns by pressing him into a fire, and she assists him in stitching the bite.
