Quote:I'm not buying that one. In the show, it's pretty well established that they can't trade faces with living people. They collect the faces from the dead by physically peeling them off and curing them.


Not to mention, we see a 8" dagger pierce Arya and get twisted in her guts - which would be impossible to predict, plus the Waif first attempted to slice her throat as she walked up. Also, if it wasn't Arya, why would she be walking through the streets hours later bleeding all over herself?


I think it's much more in line with the show that she will be healed by some magic (which we've seen) than to assume the stabbing that we saw happen was some slight of hand trick.


If the Hound can heal up normally from his injuries, Arya should be no sweat.

 

Good points. It just doesn't add up to me. For her to break character that BADLY. After all the cautious behavior and attempts and efforts it took to survive essentially on her own or with a band of kids with no experience like Gendry and Hot Pie. It just bothers me that she would be so foolish and easily taken advantage of or take unawares like that. I still feel like Jaqen sees something in her. And I still think the Waif messed up monumentally by her actions with the dagger. Maybe the Faceless men do have the ability to heal or revive others though.
