quote:ONLY if we're going the route that Jaqen was Syrio. Otherwise:
Maybe his purpose of being caught was to get close to Arya.
A) How did Jaqen know to get caught by those specific guards going that specific road at just the right time to run into an Arya who was acting as a boy?
B) How did Jaqen know where Arya was to begin with?
C) Why would Jaqen go through all of that just to give her a token hoping that, one day years later, she may show up in Bravos?
D) Why would Jaqen search out a specific girl just to then spend years teaching her to be no one?
I think it is more likely Jaqen notices she was a girl acting as a boy and that piqued his interest as he also enjoys acting like other people.
