6. Happy Name Day

On the topic of Littlefinger, there's also a reference to the manner in which he arrives back in the Vale. No, it's not concerned with just where he's been all this time, or the fact it took him so long to appear despite the fact he generally seems to possess the ability to teleport across Westeros, but in the gift he brings for Robin Arryn (if ever a child deserved a lump of coal...).

He brings him a Gyrfalcon, an extremely rare breed. The falcon has significance because it's part of the sigil of House Arryn (along with a moon), but it's also a reminder of the last time Baelish gave Robin a name day present: a crystal falcon, that immediately went through the Moon Door.
