So Tywin Lannister is right there and Arya is unable to capitalize on it. Tywin fails to realize exactly who this girl is in his presence, pouring his wine. Once Tywin decides to leave--with us believing at the time he'd be onward towards Robb Stark again, later turning up at King's Landing with the Tyrells, thanks to Littlefinger's persuasive manuevers--Arya's window closes. In The Princess of Winterfell, she seeks out and cannot locate Jaqen, hoping to use her "death wish" on Tywin. Instead she later finds Jaqen and requests him as the final death, his urging her to take it back serving as the means for Arya and her mates, Hot Pie and Gendry, to escape Harrenhal in one piece. In Valar Morghulis, Jaqen offers Arya the opportunity to follow him to Braavos, with the chance to learn their magic, perhaps even to alter her face. She must reconnect with her lost family, honored and even considering it momentarily but nonetheless determined to forge ahead. Tom Wlhaschiha is no longer the face of Jaqen, a new transformation taking place. A coin left in her possession, with Valar Morghulis on it by Jaqen to keep for potential later importance.
