Aziraphale: I want a proper apology.

Crowley: No.

Aziraphale: With the little dance.

Crowley: I don't do the dance.

Aziraphale: I did the "I was wrong" dance in 1650, in 1793, 1941…

Crowley: Fine! [doing the apology dance:] You were right, you were right, I was wrong, you were right. Okay?

Aziraphale: Very nice.

There is a commonly known theme of trees in Arya’s storyline. A girl who resembles Arya is called Willow, Arya wears the acorn dress that makes her look like a tree, she prays to weirwoods and they seem to answer. I always thought it was there to emphasize Arya’s likeness to Lyanna, the Knight of the Laughing Tree. But there is more to it and it is worth of further inspection.

For instance, Arya’s friend, Jaqen, is also associated with weirwoods. When Jaqen comes to hear the last name, he finds Arya praying in the godswood. He appears all of a sudden as if he has been summoned by Arya’s prayer. And Arya compares him to a tree:

Jaqen H’ghar stood so still in the darkness that he seemed one of the trees. - Arya, A Clash of Kings

For a long time, I thought it was all about his faceless skills. Jaqen has followed Arya to the godswood so quietly that she doesn’t notice she is not alone anymore. Once under the tree, he stands so motionlessly that he seems to be a tree rather than a human. I thought it’s all about how the faceless men had trained him but it’s not just that. Jaqen seems to be one of the trees, a weirwood tree to be precise. He is slender and his hair is white like weirwood’s bark and red, like leaves of the tree. He belongs in the godswood. 

We know from A Dance with Dragons that weirwoods are vessels for the souls of those marked by the gods. They provide a shelter for the spirits of those special ones after their bodies die. They are the afterlife. 

We witness the Bloodraven in the middle of the process of transforming into a tree. He is passing away, slowly stepping to the other side where his soul will continue to be. That’s what the tree symbolism is about. It’s about immortality.

 Arya and Jaqen are those marked by the gods too. I wonder if Lyanna’s shield with a laughing weirwood painted on it, is meant to indicate that her spirit may continue to live in weirwoods as well. Perhaps it means that she will have the last laugh. That she will be with her Rhaegar for eternity. The fate that Arya and Jaqen are heading towards too.

He laid a finger on her lips. “Three lives you shall have of me. No more, no less. Three and we are done. So a girl must ponder.” He kissed her hair softly. “But not too long.”

“As she dashed past the barn, Biter threw himself furiously against his chains, and Jaqen H'ghar called out from the back of their wagon. “Boy! Sweet boy! Is it war, red war? Boy, free us. A man can fight. Boy!” - Arya, A Clash of Kings

This is something that I like to bring up every now and then because it goes unnoticed to most of the readers. I haven’t seen many people discussing it over the years. It is that small detail of Jaqen’s pleading: he is asking Arya about the red war. The red war, the Battle for the Dawn. 

It’s as if he has been waiting for it and he thinks that maybe the time has come and he wants Arya to tell him is this happening right now? 

What does it mean? 

Jaqen knows the prophecy. He believes that he should take part in the Battle for the Dawn, that this red war is his war. More than this, he tells Arya that he can fight in the Battle which means he has been prepared for that fight. 

These small details, the clues scattered all over the text, tell us in which direction the story is heading. The text is so rich that it is easy for us, readers, to overlook them and even ignore them. But they matter a lot.
