Arya Stark comes across a group of Lannister banner men traveling to the Twins to settle the unrest that has occurred in the wake of what happened to House Frey at the beginning of the episode.
Sheeran’s character is singing a song, because of course he is, while Arya is invited to share wine and food with them.
