Arya, I've been wanting to tell you something important since we met again. Something that's been on my mind for a long time. Remember when we were both traveling down the King's Road, a long time ago? I want to be honest with you, Arya. I wish I hadn't left you on that day. I wish I had gone with you all the way to Winterfell. I feel terrible about it, and it's been weighing me down ever since. You see, at the time, I was scared of what might happen to us. I didn't know much about anything, really. But looking back, I've realized how brave you were, and I should have been brave, too. We could have looked after each other, and I could have protected you if anything bad had happened. I wish I had made the choice to stand by you that day. I know I can't change the past, but I want you to know that I regret it. And I would understand if you felt like you couldn't trust me anymore. But now, we're here together in Winterfell. I want to be there for you, like I should have been back then. I want to help you with whatever you need, Arya. I want to keep you safe, just as I wish I had been able to on the King's Road. I hope you can forgive me for not going with you, Arya. I want you to know that moving forward; I'll be there for you. We've both grown and changed, and I hope we can face whatever challenges come our way together. So, Arya, I'm sorry. I made a mistake back on the King's Road, and I'll do everything I can to make it right from now on. I hope you can trust me again, and know that I'll always be here for you - no matter what.

Gendry: Arya, I've been wanting to tell you something important since we met again. Something that's been on my mind for a long time. Remember when we were both traveling down the King's Road, a long time ago? Arya: Yes, I remember. It feels like a lifetime ago, though. Gendry: I want to be honest with you, Arya. I wish I hadn't left you on that day. I wish I had gone with you all the way to Winterfell. I feel terrible about it, and it's been weighing me down ever since. Arya: I... I don't know, Gendry. How am I supposed to know what would have happened if you had come with me? Gendry: You see, at the time, I was scared of what might happen to us. I didn't know much about anything, really. But looking back, I've realized how brave you were, and I should have been brave, too. We could have looked after each other, and I could have protected you if anything bad had happened. Arya: It's hard for me to know what to think. But I guess it's true that we've both been through so much since then. Gendry: I wish I had made the choice to stand by you that day. I know I can't change the past, but I want you to know that I regret it. And I would understand if you felt like you couldn't trust me anymore. Arya: I don't know, Gendry. I've had to learn to trust very few people since then. It's not easy. Gendry: But now, we're here together in Winterfell. I want to be there for you, like I should have been back then. I want to help you with whatever you need, Arya. I want to keep you safe, just as I wish I had been able to on the King's Road. Arya: I appreciate that, Gendry. But I don't know if I can rely on someone else to keep me safe. I've had to depend on myself for so long. Gendry: I hope you can forgive me for not going with you, Arya. I want you to know that moving forward; I'll be there for you. We've both grown and changed, and I hope we can face whatever challenges come our way together. Arya: I just... I don't know what to think, Gendry. It's hard for me to process everything you're saying. Gendry: So, Arya, I'm sorry. I made a mistake back on the King's Road, and I'll do everything I can to make it right from now on. I hope you can trust me again, and know that I'll always be here for you - no matter what. Arya: I'll try, Gendry. I'll try to trust you. But it's not something that can happen overnight. We'll just have to see how it goes.
