Rosetta Stone Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 On 1/31/2021 at 5:51 AM, The Lord of the Crossing said: Dareon is not the most mature man to ever wear the black. But we can all agree that he was twice the victim of injustice. The first came from Lord Rowan and his daughter at Goldengrove. And the second injustice came from Arya Stark. Arya Stark murdered Dareon in Braavos. Arya's thirst for blood and revenge is not justice. This is true but the murder of the old man was worse. She killed the old man to pass a test from a church of killers. Arya is deranged even if she is a high-functioning insane person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every member of the nights Watch and every person who has ever killed for a Lord or Lady in Westeros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamiloRP Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 From now on I ask everyone who says Arya is 'insane' to explain why. If you say so and don't explain, I (and the rest of the people in this forum, will assume you have no leg to stand on and know it, but you like to make BS claims. I will quote this to any such comment. There, that killed the 'how brutal were the Starks of old thread'. Let's hope it kills this one too, or at least the biased bullshit in it.

In conclusion, Dareon was wearing a sword in public during night in Bravos and he accepted again that he is adeserter. I still cannot see how he is innocent.

You don't understand, the fact that he says he's innocent obviously means he is in fact innocent, and thus his desertion and abandonment of Sam and Aemon is totally okay, making Arya even worse than Ramsay for killing him.

I see. Maybe someone should inform the Braavosi as well to have exemptions for people who say that they are innocent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamiloRP Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 It's a great observation, tho I don't think it makes his murder okay, as he didn't accept any duel, but it does make me think that Arya justifies it to herself in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do we see the actual act? Or what Arya initally says to Dareon? Also, the fact that Arya ends up with Dareon's boots makes this exchange rather interesting too: "He has no coin," mocked the fair-haired bravo. His dark-haired friend grinned and said something in Braavosi. "My friend Terro is chilly. Be our good fat friend and give him your cloak." "Don't do that either," said the barrow girl, "or else they'll ask for your boots next, and before long you'll be naked." "Little cats who howl too loud get drowned in the canals," warned the fair-haired bravo. "Not if they have claws." And suddenly there was a knife in the girl's left hand, a blade as skinny as she was. The one called Terro said something to his fair-haired friend and the two of them moved off, chuckling at one another. "Thank you," Sam told the girl when they were gone.

El Guapo Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Wait do people seriously think she challenged him to a duel? lol. It is pretty obvious she just shanked him which honestly I have no issue with at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya didn't challenge him to a duel, she executed him, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya wouldn't have won the duel, a skinny little girl with a knife against a somewhat trained man with a sword? Near impossible odds, no matter how good a fighter Arya is.

He has a sword, she can challenge at night according to Braavosi law. Where it is written that he has sword in the material, and especially in the chapter where it happens? I daresay in fair duel Daeron would have advantage in killing or at least hurting Arya - we don't see she has wound or scar after the murder. How is the dueling practice in Braavos a law? If it is tolerated it doesn't mean it is proscribed by law. Last we see about Daeron is him heading to Green Eel Inn while having (in his belief) a friendly chat with urchin and heading to dark alley. Quote Dareon was leaving too. He had promised to sing at the Inn of the Green Eel this evening, he told her as they strolled along together. "Every time I play the Eel I come away with silver," he boasted, "and some nights there are captains there, and owners." They crossed a little bridge, and made their way down a crooked back street as the shadows of the day grew longer. "Soon I will be playing in the Purple, and after that the Sealord's Palace," Dareon went on. Cat's empty barrow clattered over the cobblestones, making its own sort of rattling music. "Yesterday I ate herring with the whores, but within the year I'll be having emperor crab with courtesans." "What happened to your brother?" Cat asked. "The fat one. Did he ever find a ship to Oldtown? He said he was supposed to sail on the Lady Ushanora." "We all were. Lord Snow's command. I told Sam, leave the old man, but the fat fool would not listen." The last light of the setting sun shone in his hair. "Well, it's too late now." "Just so," said Cat as they stepped into the gloom of a twisty little alley.

I just wanted to show that young men dying in Braavos wasn't a big deal and she knew that as shown by the Sam quotes. It's not a loophole she killed him she's a killer but she's not evil she's a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
