HBO's Game of Thrones is back once again this Sunday with an all-new episode, and it appears as though Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) is going to be playing a more prominent role moving forward now that she's traveling with The Hound.

Arya has had no qualms of her intentions to kill Joffrey's former dog, who slayed her friend. However, The Hound has been tolerant of the Stark girls in the past.

Williams recently spoke to TV Guide about her character's association with The Hound, and the rationale behind it.

"It's all king of like a love-hate relationship. I think Arya kind of looks up to him in the way that he's got everything that she hasn't. I think she knows she wouldn't be able to kill him easily. I think maybe in her head she's thinking of different ways she could do it" she said.

Williams also thinks that The Hound may be Arya's only chance of finding her family.

"No one who she's with can really help her apart from The Hound... I don't know if he's going to help her anytime soon."

Next up for Game of Thrones will be its Second Sons episode, which is set to air on Sunday, May 19 on the HBO network. A promo trailer for the respective installment can be watched below.
