As they pass through a ransacked village, the Hound faces attack from Biter and Rorge, two nasty criminals Arya reluctantly saved from a fire during her season two adventures near Harrenhal. Rorge reveals that King Joffrey's dead, and there's a bounty on Clegane's head for killing Lannister soldiers.
The Hound snaps Biter's neck in defence, but the act doesn't deter Rorge, who Ayra recognises from the Riverlands. Clegane asks her if that's because he's on her list. She says, "He can't be. I don't know his name." Clegane asks the man for his moniker. And after he says it, Ayra thanks Rorge and stabs the thief in the chest with Needle. When the man falls to the ground, the Hound growls, "You're learning."
Afterwards, Clegane attempts to dress his wounds from Biter, and Arya suggests cauterizing the gash. The Hound bristles because of his pyrophobia and confirms the story of his brother's mistreatment, adding that his father covered up the truth. Arya then offers to clean and stitch his wounds, which the Hound allows without complaint.
