The lords and ladies never notice the grey mice under their feet, and Arya hears many secrets by just listening as she does her duties. On the road to Harrenhal, she felt like a sheep, but now she feels like a mouse. She considers marching up to Tywin and telling him who she is, but figures she would never get close enough to him, and if she did, he would not believe her, and she would get a beating form Weese, whom she fears more than the Mountain he hits at the slightest provocation. However she fears living men, including Ser Gregor Clegane and Tywin Lannister, who keep their apartments in the Kingspyre Tower. Some claim the ghosts of Harren the Black and his sons occupy the Wailing Tower, but Arya knows that they died in the Kingspyre Tower the wailing is from the wind, and the ghosts never trouble her. Harrenhal covers three times the area of Winterfell, but its buildings are much grander: the stables handle 1000 horses, the Godswood covers 20 acres, the kitchen is as large as Winterfell’s Great Hall, and the Hall of the Hundred Hearths could handle Tywin’s entire host. As a result, the Lannisters have to forage for servants to make more of Harrenhal habitable. She left a small staff when she fled, inadequate for the host that now occupies the castle. Lady Shella Whent only occupied parts of two towers, letting the rest of the castle go to ruin. She occasionally gets to see Hot Pie when she is sent to fetch the food for Weese and his charges Arya does not want to learn the names of Weese’s other charges since it hurts when people she knows die. Arya hates Weese and adds him to her list of names. Hot Pie is assigned to the kitchens, and Gendry to the forge, while Arya works for the understeward Weese doing errands running messages, drawing water, fetching food, and sometimes serving tables in the barracks hall. The work is hard, but no harder than the miles she was walking every day, and she can wash and the food is filling she does not need to find bugs to eat. ![]() She now sleeps in a niche in the vaults beneath the Wailing Tower.

She avoids Jaqen for a while, but after hearing a story by Chiswyck, she whispers Chiswyck’s name in Jaqen's ear. Arya thinks that Jaqen has not seen her, but he interrupts her sleep that night to tell her he will kill three men for her for saving him and his two companions.
