Remember the unforgettable sword fight between Game of Thrones actor Maisie Williams (who plays Arya) and Gwendoline Christie (who plays Brienne)?

The two women discuss training for their epic sparring match at Winterfell in a behind-the-scenes series called “The Game Revealed”. It’s amazing to see the 6’3″? actress Gwendoline Christie tiptoe around the 5’1″ Maisie Williams

 Christie tells EW:
“It’s an incredible moment when Arya walks into the courtyard and Brienne says ‘nice sword. When she first sees Arya, it’s not just that she sees the living embodiment of Catelyn Stark, but also she sees something of herself in another young girl. I don’t think Brienne has seen something of herself in somebody like that before. So when she hears Arya has returned to Winterfell, and sees Arya dressed not entirely dissimilarly to Brienne, it’s not just that feels like part of Catelyn Stark is alive but that she’s now in a position of education. It’s a very distant form of parenting for Brienne and not one she ever thought she’d have.”

Williams tells EW:
“Arya and Brienne are both very intrigued by each other and it’s nice of them to meet again in a much safer and happier circumstance. And working with Gwen was great fun. She’s been fighting people around the same height as her, and I’ve been used to fighting people who were close to my height, so we both had a lot to get used to.”
