All week long, Arya was restless and cantankerous. No one escaped her ire.

Arya could never manage her emotions well. She needed Milan to do the job for her. "She can't get Victor's rejection out of her mind," Milan reported to Uncle Osbourn. As always Milan was intuitive and astute. "She has tried every trick in the book, but the fella is as slippery as an eel." He said.
