During the short but sweet cameo appearance, Ed plays a Lannister army soldier sitting around a campfire singing a song (because what else would a Westeros-world Ed be doing?) with his fellow soldiers. Arya stumbles upon them.

Arya, who’s just finished another one of her killing sprees, seems to consider killing the soldiers until they impress her with their kindness and offer her food and drink. It doesn’t hurt that she likes their song.

The song is lifted from George R. R. Martin’s books, and includes the lyrics, “For she was his secret treasure / She was his shame and his bliss / And a chain and a keep are nothing / Compared to a woman’s kiss / For hands of gold are always cold / But a woman’s hands are warm.”
