Steve is still freshly arrived from his trip home, having only reappeared back in Wonderland's hedge maze this morning. Still, he's made the necessary announcement and caught up with plenty of people. The amount of interactions and difficult conversations would be enough to exhaust anyone, even a super-soldier.
So he's finally on his way back to his room, planning to wind down and then maybe try to get some sleep, when spots a young girl walking the opposite direction.
It only takes a few seconds for it to register. Her age and features, the axe at her side -- Sansa had mentioned a sword, but it's close enough, isn't it? This might be Arya. It had been months ago that Steve and Sansa had that conversation, so there's a moment of guilt when he realizes he hadn't really kept to his promise the way he should have.
He comes to a stop, looking her over once more before he asks, "Sorry, but... are you Arya, by any chance?" He doesn't realize how loaded of a question that is.
