Tini Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 That wouldn't make him a lord, would it? Arya holds no lordship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightstar Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Nah, he's going to marry Arya.Oh, I hope not!Arya needs somebody smarter than Gendry.Edric Storm might be better, or better still, Harrion Karstark.Harrion is described as a young hawk, chafing at his capture in Harenhaal.(That would help repair the rift between the Starks and the Karstarks).Why would Arya ever want Gendry?

ARYa_Nym Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I like the other Edric. She would be impressed by Dawn if he becomes the next Sword of Morning.It's too bad Gerris is too old for her. I like his personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanTasy Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Why would Arya ever want Gendry?Hmm ... he's strong, muscled, blue eyes, dark hair, speaks his mind, has a mysterious touch, can make a pretty good helmet, helped Arya when she was in distress and he is a knight. Guys like that are hard to find :drunk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tini Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Why would Arya ever want Gendry?I don'T know. He is plain boring. And I think the elder Liddle girl is more Gendry's type than Arya is. She may be just as assertive as Arya in some respects but, unlike Arya, she's the motherly type. They'll have a big family.Arya isn't interested in boys at this point in her life. Which is probably just as well. I don't think she'd be impressed by some boy her age - at least not if he doesn't share her experiences to a large degree, and I don't want to see her hook up with a Faceless Man or Faceless Man trainee.

ARYa_Nym Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 11 year-olds usually have bad taste in boys so it's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjm335 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Gendry does seem fated for something. Think about it, GRRM had him hinted at in book one, fleshed out in book two, and appears briefly in book four with Brienne. GRRM has done this for a reason; he is not one to waste such a character. What ever his ultimate role will be, we can only speculate, but he almost certain is destined for some role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARYa_Nym Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 "Gendry was five years older and a foot taller than she was, and long of leg as well."Age confirmation. The age difference b/w them is exactly the same as Robert and Lyanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamcatcher Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Thinking ahead: By the time the show catches up, Maisie will already be 18 and able to actually kiss Joe Dempsie without the whole USA going "paedophilia!!!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sleeper Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Arya will not get married. No Westerosi male that expects obedience from his wife can hope to survive the wedding night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Crow Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 That's why its going to come down to Gendry. Not only did the two of them have a lot of chemistry while they were together, but he's the only one tough enough to make it through the night.

Rose of Winterfell Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 And he knows her-Gendry would know better than to expect 'obedience' from Arya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARYa_Nym Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Edric Dayne could also make it imo. He was taking it just fine. :box:"I never learned the lance, but I could beat you with a sword, said Arya." "Have you killed anyone?" That seemed to startle him. "I'm only twelve."...Jon never knew his mother...You know her?...If you lie I'll punch your face....Ned was trying to apologize for upsetting her, but she did not want to hear it."Gendry would be able to manage better though.

LuisDantas Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Reading the Arya chapters in Storm of Swords it is plain that Arya is jealous of Gendry. It may not be a true romantic interest, but it certainly may develop into one.At the very least, they care a whole lot about each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efilnikufesin Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I did bump this topic finding it with no comments on about page 5, but why has it become like an episode of Days of Our Lives? Who will Gendry marry etc? He seems like a nice hidden side plot and smiths like a man possessed. No one has any greater plans aspirations for him than "maybe he will marry Arya?"

Errant Bard Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 No, Gendry is like Hot Pie, who cares.Reading the Arya chapters in Storm of Swords it is plain that Arya is jealous of Gendry. It may not be a true romantic interest, but it certainly may develop into one.Oh come on, she's 10/11 by this point, it's creepy to even consider the notion.Beyond that, after more than five years of separation, a romantic relationship may develop, certainly just like it could develop between Arya and anyone else. Damn, kids don't go marrying teens they played with for a month or two when they were ten, even if they liked the guy back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisDantas Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 It is creepy to think that a 10 years older may be jealous and attracted to someone five years older? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knepah Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 You are all making the common mistake that when Arya does start sexual attraction, that she will be straight. What's to say she won't be a lesbian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?It's creepy to make of that some sort of adult long term romantic attraction that will come back or last well into her adult life, as is, yes, indeed.
