Arya, though still just a child, is showing so much promise. She may one day become the best Swordsman in Westeros. I've –half jokingly- talked to Dacey about making her a member of my Household guard when we move to Sea Dragon Point. She didn't think I was joking and said it was a great idea. "Women can be Warriors as well, and we don't complain about bleeding nearly as much as men."
It will still be years before she can beat Syrio, but I believe the day will come.
Meanwhile, giving Asha Greyjoy the heads-up on her brothers return may have been a mistake. With the threat from the Reach contained, her uncle Euron Greyjoy is calling for a King's Moot to crown a new ruler. He thinks the brother should come before the son. But the letter does say most of the other houses are in favor of following Theon when he returns, or they are currently happy with the way things are, and so are boycotting the Moot. Without a majority, there can be no election and so Euron has to wait for his nephews arrival.
Asha seems to hope that Theon will be reasonable enough to accept a co-rulership with her. Maybe with him being the King but she actually runs the Islands. Like a Hand? I'm not so sure. But I guess we will see.
