Chapter 2

In Duskendale, a large port town off the coast of Blackwater Bay. Located north and east of King's Landing , the engine stopped working, Arya tried to jump-start the motorbike a few times but gave up when she got a small explosion in the engine due to persistence . Arya thought she could have woken the whole town with the noise , but everything remained as quiet as before. So Arya decided to go walking to King 's Landing ; if here there would not find a place to drink, much less a place to repair the bike.

"Are only four kilometers." Arya told herself , to encourage her , so it was , leading to heavy bike with her hands , it took longer than expected.

But there was it; a large and smelly King 's Landing , lit as if it were day, the streets were still bustling , Arya looked around and some bad men seen watching her curiously , she ignored it and moved on , turned the second corner left and saw a man at a bus stop and decided it was reliable to talk to him , she approached and asked :

" Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me if there is any mechanical workshop that is still working?"

The man looked at her and then the bike , looked back at her and said :
"The Thobo Mott Mechanics, is two blocks away , up the Street of Steel, he should be sleeping , but his apprentices still working late . "

" Got it, thank you very much for your help , sir ."

"Glad to be useful , be careful ; King 's Landing is not like your northern cities, and the night is dark and full of terrors . "

Arya thanked again and was shown the way , thinking how strange was that last sentence , the night was a time when the wolves come out and Arya loved it so had no fear .

On the Street of Steel , Arya had seen the sign illuminated by far , followed with her eyes fixed on the large deposit , thinking that maybe the problem with the bike was not so bad and not linger much to repair , maybe she could still find Wylla in the feast of the Tyrels and drink till she drop , who knows ..
She entered the shop which first appeared to be empty , but there was a guy underneath an old car , trying to fix something .
Arya cleared her throat and said :

" Excuse me "- Arya decided at the time that would be the most polite and lovely as possible , since she was down and clearly needed help.

The man hesitated , but eventually walked away under overalls with dirty grease and a lazy smile on his face , had piercing blue eyes in stark contrast with his hair black as ebony, and He's strong , Arya thought , must have been about twenty-somethings years, she kicked .

" Yes? " he replied .

" Either you are own Thobo Mott or one of his apprentices. " she guessed .

" I'm just an apprentice , the boss is not nearly as charming. " he laughed softly , a laugh that was sexy and grave, but Arya did not let go ' Very cocky for someone with his face smeared with grease ' she thought to herself . "I'm just kidding , I am Gendry , How can I help ?"

Arya thought for a moment before answering , because incredibly she had forgotten what had brought her here .

" My bike broke down on the road, if you can find a way ... I. . I pay as much as you want . Need her to come home . " she said .

He examined the bike thoroughly and concluded :

" Nice bike ! But can't ' find a way ' now , you overloaded the motor and I'll need to replace some parts , and finally, it takes a while . "

Arya sighed wearily :

" OK How much? "

" $ 1.300 " he said .

" WHAT? " Arya held herself not to scream - "1.300 ? This is absurd , I will not pay for an apprentice tweak on my bike , Where's your boss ? Want to talk to him .. Now . " - Ready , Arya had taken the shit of everyone that day , she would not accept that an apprentice mechanic to do of her an idiot .

" He 's out , but if you are not satisfied ,fell free to seek someone who will arrange the bike " he said, his furious eyes never leaving hers.

She lost the discussion ,there was no arguing, she needed the bike ; stubborn , she said :

" Fine . Hope that you accept credit cards " She left the bike with him and went out to make a call.

**Voicemail:

Wylla: I'm too busy partying, and I can't talk now, but leave your message that I will answer it when I get sober. beep.

Arya: Meets this phone , Nymeria broke and I am stuck in King 's Landing , I need a ride home . Call me back when you can.**

Ten minutes later , Gendry had cleaned the things in the shop and disappeared upstairs , leaving her alone in the place and waiting for a connection.
Impatiently she tried again :

**Voicemail:
Arya : Wylla meets the fucking phone, I need your help . Shit. Meets . The. Fucking .Phone. **

Five minutes later :

**Voicemail:
Arya : The party must be really good , for you do not answer my calls ... Gods , if the police find my body quartered in a dark alley , it's your fault ...
I love you , call me when you can. **

Another few minutes , and Gendry descended the staircase with his hair still damp from the shower and wearing clean clothes , he seemed surprised to see her there.

"I thought you had already gone."
" Sorry to disappoint you ," she said , coldly , picked up a paper and a pen , " How long will the repair take? "
" A week at most , and if the girl ask politely , I may even get a discount ," he said and showed a smile boor .
Haha .How much presumption. She thought.
Arya reached out to him to get the paper with her phone number.

" Call me when you're done , and takes good care of her, is like a daughter to me " - she said and smiled forced and looked at him up and down for the last time , before turning to leave.
" And your name is .. ? " He asked .
" Arya " - she said walking , but gave a pardoned over her shoulder and ended - " From House Stark ."
And then She left him with a confused and thoughtful expression on his face .
Stupid . she thought .

6:00 am. The Manderly girl's green hair was messier than ever , seemed branches of a dornish plant, tangles falling cascading halfway down her back .

"I'm sorry, dear, " she asked for the thousandth time ; looking to Arya pleadingly , feeling guilty .

"It's ok , Wylla . The inn that I stayed ended being very nice, I slept like a baby "

"Still, Nymeria broke and you had to walk through this town of thieves and rapists even find someone to fix it. If I had not decided to go to that party ..."

Arya interrupted:
"It was not your fault, it was anybody's fault, it happened, and I was also in order to go to that party," she said. "And incidentally, how was the party?"

"You would not believe, I met people from all over Westeros, From Dorne to the Wall; From Vale of Arryn to Casterly Rock. Knew the lead singer of a band from the Vale: Marilion ;pretty scoundrel, but the night was good," she smiled and blushed.

Arya noticed , and said :
"Yeah, I can see " both laughed and Arya ended breathless . " Let's go home , please ."
