Me too and I don’t like how they had Arya act in that scene. It was obvious that they had somewhat bonded and everyone could tell he grew protective of her, yet she couldn’t show him mercy and not only that, simply stared into space before stealing his coin without so much as a word.

That’s how it played in the book.

I don’t think she took his coin.

The coin you may refer to was one the one that Jaqen H’ghar gave to her before he left, with the instructions that she give to any man from Braavos, saying “ Valar Morghulis”, which she did, to the ship’s captain.

She is headed to Braavos to become one of The Faceless Men, a guild of assassins.

Kid’s gone cold but I can’t say I really blame her.

Her adventures with The Hound were what I looked forward to every week.

[and Joffrey’s agonizingly humiliating death]

You missed the whole point. He helped her stop being a little girl and transformed her into a cold-blooded killer. He never stopped being a name on her “list”, but ironically, like all the others on the “list” who’ve died, she hasn’t had to do any of the killing herself.

I loved Arya in that scene. Just staring him down, despite his obvious attempts to anger her and provoke her into stabbing him, she just... watched. And left him to die.

Taking the money pouch was both practical and a last dig at him for the money he stole from the farmer he robbed a few episodes back.
