[ At first glance, Arya expects to feel relieved to find her in this place. If she is indeed somehow still alive, as Arya's own eyes are telling her, then it's safest to have Daenerys confined. Certainly it's safest to have her separated from her dragon, wherever it might be. No lick of anger kicks up in Arya at the sight of her, but she's expecting to feel righteous. Glad, even, that after the atrocities Arya had run through, after all the people she'd been unable to save, that the queen is locked away.
But the look in the Daenerys's eyes when they find Arya's sends most of those thoughts fleeing. Arya has seen so many people in the throes of fear and pain, but the look on the queen's face is unique. She's lost. Arya is incapable of feeling righteous over a person like this. ]
Who brought you back? Some priest?
[ They've never spoken. Not one-on-one and certainly never in private. Arya would know Daenerys with her eyes closed, the way she'd be able to identify so many if that sense was taken from her, but she isn't sure if the queen will recognize her. She had certainly seemed insignificant to the war effort both before and after the battle of the dawn. Why should a queen concerned most with her rule remember the girl who saved the north? ]
