AN: didn't u guys just love the scene between Arya Stark and Tywin Lannister? I friggin loved it, but I couldn't get out of my head that little smirk/grin on both of their faces, especially when Arya was proudly talking about her brother. Anyways just a one-shot continued from the scene with a little AU spin…u know me I start random one-shots for no reason lol.

As the Lord's cousin was dismissed from the room, Arya moved forward towards Lord Tywin Lannister's cup about to pour wine in it.

"Not wine," he said abruptly halting her movement "water, we'll be here for some time" she nodded her head slightly acknowledging what he said and then walked away towards the table with food.

"Girl" he said, Arya stopped and turned around. "Where are you from?" he asked with a knowing look

"Maidenpool," she said simply "my lord"

"And who are the lords of Maidenpool? Remind me" he asked with that same look

"House Mooton, my Lord" she said as if reciting it from memory.

"And what is their sigil" he asked.

Arya paused. Tywin could see through her lies, she clearly didn't know and that meant clearly she wasn't from Maidenpool.

"A red salmon" he said "I think a Maidenpool girl would remember that."

She looked down to the ground, she had been caught in her lie she needed to think quicker on her feet.

"You're a Northerner aren't you?" he said with a gleam in his eye.

She nodded slightly in answer.

"Good," he said now they were finally getting somewhere "and one more time, where are you from?" he asked.

"Barrowton, my lord" she said confidently this time, she knew all the Northern lords. They had been engrained into her mind in her lessons "House Dustin, two crossed long axes, beneath a black crown," she told him reciting it from memory.

"And what do they say of Robb Stark in the North?" he asked.

A look of confusion crossed her face and then she was dead serious when she answered him "They call him the young wolf."

"And?" he asked wanting to know more of a Northerners view of the so called King in the North.

"They say he rides into battle on the back of a giant Direwolf" she said a gleam entering her eye.

He looked to his war council as if to roll his eyes, they knew this was false.

"They say he can turn into a wolf himself when he wants," she paused gauging his reaction. "They say he can't be killed," she added with a slight grin of pride in her brother.

Tywin looked intrigued by the girl, a smirk pulled at the corner of his mouth as well but he held back.

"And do you believe them?" he asked.

"No," she answered, "my lord." She added as not to be disrespectful.

He nodded in agreement glancing to his council.

There was a long pause. "Anyone can be killed" she said quite plainly.

He looked to her again and they proceeded to stare at each other.

"Including you" she then said. His eyes widened as well as his council members. Who was she to make threats to a lord, it was treason.

"Including your bastard grandson" she added.

He started to look angry at that.

"I can give you right back to the torturers and the rapists" lord Tywin said threateningly.

"Including my brother" she added giving him a hard stare and choosing to ignore his threat.

His froze for a moment and then his eyes, as well as the other members of his council, bugged out.

"You're not from Barrowton" he said, connecting the dots. His council started glancing back and forth.

"No" she stated "I'm from Winterfell" she said proudly. "House stark" she added forcefully, "sigil of the Direwolf" she spat at him.

"You're bastard grandson had my father executed because he didn't want anyone else to find out that his father is his mother's brother," she said. "Your so called prodigal son pushed my younger brother, bran, off a tower because he saw Jaime with the queen."

"Your bastard grandson tried to kill me because I hit him with a stick when he attacked my friend" she added continuing her list.

"Your bastard grandson and your daughter hold my sister hostage in Kings Landing."

"I hope my brother does come and kill you," she said with a grin "and Cersei, and Joffery, and Ilyn Payne, and the hound, and the mountain" she said sneering at him "and Little-finger, the traitorous bastard" she snarled under her breath.

There was a long silence after that.

Lord Tywin turned to his council.

"It seems we have a bargaining chip to get my son back." He said turning to glance at Arya.

"Fat chance" Arya said grinning "Robb won't trade Jaime Lannister for me. He knows that I'm not some passive girl who will sit around and wait for rescue. I got out of the city, I was headed North on my own, he knows I can fend for myself." She said

"He knows the only way he can get close to Joffery is by holding threats to Jaime over Cersei's head" she said "why do you think he hasn't handed the Kingslayer over yet to get me and my sister back?"

Tywin looked furious, he had been outsmarted by a little girl. Sure a well-educated little lady, well Princess of the North now, but still he had let a little girl get the better of him.

"I could just send word to your brother that if he doesn't turn over my son, I'll kill you" he said grasping at straws.

"If you harm a single hair on my head, I'm sure that Robb wouldn't hesitate to let Grey Wind eat you."

Lord Tywin's eyes widened at the casual referral to the wolf that killed and maimed hundreds of his soldiers.

"So" she said "I suggest you let me go, that is if you don't want your favorite son returned to you in pieces. Not even all of his pieces. I'm sure Robb would send back the ones that wouldn't be fatal to remove. Like fingers, or a hand, or a foot. And then maybe leave the rest of him with your dead daughter and grandson once he gets to Kings Landing and saves my sister."

"I will stop your brother in the battle field and get my son back, and kill Robb Stark" Tywin said as if trying to not only convince Arya, but himself as well.

"As I said" Arya said "anyone can be killed. You, my brother," she paused "well see" she said cryptically.

AN: I could've probably ended it better but I didn't know where to end it so I just left it like that, I may come back later and edit the ending, no guarantees though.
