Aside from reuniting and doing a spot of flirting with her old pal Gendry, Arya also has a job for him - and it's an awesome one at that.

While Arya already has Needle and the Catspaw dagger, she has decided that she wants another weapon. And not just any old weapon, but a White Walker destroying superweapon.

Arya doesn't really specify what she wants, instead just handing over a blueprint of some kind of spear/staff type weapon. One half is dragonglass, but does that mean the other could be Valyrian steel? It also looks like it's designed to detach - is that using it as a projectile of some kind or, more likely, so it can switch from a staff to a blade?
