[Jack makes a thoughtful sound. He's probably right. Arya wouldn't hesitate, and Jack wouldn't want her to. The people here know how things work, no one would fault her for it. That's really Jack's only concern.]
She's a child. [Jack's not sure if he should be amused or insulted at the question. He doesn't know exactly how old she is, but she's well under eighteen, something that was off-limits from the day he turned eighteen. It was less a moral thing and more a scandal that couldn't be risked. But if not!Dad isn't quite at ease yet, there is one other thing that should do it.] And a girl.
[But he does have other reasons that he might as well share.]
I come from a world without monsters, where swords aren't actually used for anything. I didn't hunt, I had a cook who prepared food for me. [He was a spoiled shit, royalty. Jack's eyes continue to dart about as they walk.] She taught me a few things when I first arrived in this damned cave. I'm in her debt, and I haven't forgotten it.
