Three days later，at midday，Her father ' s steward vay on Poole sent Arya to the small hall . the trestle tables had been dismantled and the beena slight man with a bald head and a great beak of a nose stepped out of the shadows，Holding a pair of slender wooden swords。" tomorrow you will be here at midday，" he had an accent，the lilt of the free cities，bra

三天后中午，父亲的管家维扬普尔带艾莉亚去了一个小大厅。

餐桌业已拆除，长凳也推至墙边，小厅里空荡荡的。突然，有个陌生的声音说：“小子，你迟到了。”然后一个身形清瘦，生着鹰钩大鼻的光头男子从阴影里走出来，手里握着一对细细的木剑。“从明天起你正午就必须到。”他说话带着口音，像是自由 贸易城邦的腔调，可能是布拉佛斯，或是密尔。

“你是谁？”艾莉亚问。

“我是你的舞蹈老师。”他丢给她一柄木剑。她伸手去接，却没有够着，它咔啦一声掉落在地。“从明天起我一丢你就要接住。现在捡起来。”

那不只是根棍子，而真的是一把木剑，有剑柄、护手，还有装饰剑柄的圆球。艾莉亚拾起来，紧张兮兮地双手交握在前。这把剑比看起来要重，比“缝衣针”重多了。

光头男子龇牙咧嘴道：“不对不对，小子。这不是双手挥的巨剑。你只准用单手握”。

“太重了”。艾莉亚说。

“这样才能锻炼你的手臂肌肉，还有整体的协调性。里面空心部分灌满了铅，就是这样。你要单手持剑”。

艾莉亚把握剑的右手放下，在裤子上擦了擦掌心的汗，换用左手持剑。而他对此似乎相当满意。“左手最好。左右颠倒，你的敌人会很不习惯。但你的站姿错了，不要正对着我，身体侧一点，对，就是这样。你瘦得跟长矛一样，知道吗？这也挺好，因为目标缩小了。现在让我看看你是怎么握的。”他走过来，盯着她的手，扳开手指，重新调整。“对，就是这样。别太用力，对，但要灵活，优雅。”
