I'm not the book scholar Hawk and a few others are here, but iirc there is an element of illusion bolstered by some type of magic the Faceless Men use when putting on a face that is alluded to in the books. |

The entire series begins with zombies killing people north of a 700 foot magical ice wall. You'd think people would grasp the fantasy part by now.

I saw a theory that Lady Crane helped her fake it with pig blood from the play and she is luring her out to ****ing smoke the waif.
I also saw a theory that it is Serio Ferrell because the shadow Arya cast looked like him, shoulder pads and all. |

The fantasy elements in that world should stay consistent, even if they are fantasy.
But of course there's some kind of magic going on with the Faceless Men if they can transform using dead people's faces. Not sure how else that would work without some magical element. The red god also has some "glamour" powers to make people look different, like Mel and her necklace that makes her look young. In the books Mel is also able to make a character look like a different character through her use of glamours, so it works on others besides just herself. |

In other news, the waif is sporting some decent smoke under all those robes herself.

That would be the simplest way to move the story along. Arya set herself up for it to happen on the bridge so she could topple over into the water to get away. She stumbled through town faking bloody wounds because the waif wouldn't want to do anything else to her in public, in front of a crowd. She'll wander off and appear to die and no one will give a shit. Then she'll rejoin the acting troupe and travel with them. She doesn't have to kill the waif. Of course she still could do that, but it doesn't have to happen. It could be left as a loose end. |

Yeah I'm thinking the adventures of Arya traveling with actors isn't the direction we're headed.

Agreed. the traveling troupe was the mechanism used to get her out of the Faceless Men, not her "destiny". That lies in Westeros with her direwolf and list of people yet to die.

Syrio was cool. One thing you can say about GRRM is he really does a fantastic job with his minor characters like Syrio, Jaqen, Strong Belwas, etc.
Reminder of the last time we saw Syrio: |

He doesn't die but likes her? Who knows. I know they are not killing off Arya.
