I took a good portion of the dialogue from the actual show for this part, except switched Arya's role with nameless OC.
It also has a very abrupt ending. Sorry for that.

"What do the Gold Cloaks want from you?" I asked in a casual manner as I followed Gendry back to where he was refilling the cauldron. He carried the water from the stream in a pail with expertise, dropping not even a single bead of the water.
"No idea." Was his response.
"You're a liar." I was quick to accuse and Gendry tipped his head back to shoot me a raised eyebrow.
"You know, you shouldn't be insulting people that are bigger than you."
"Then I wouldn't get to insult anyone."
"Fair point." The tips of his lips curled upwards just as he emptied the water he had carried from the stream into the cauldron. "I don't care nor do I know what any of them want." He finally answered, referring to the Gold Cloaks. "What about you, anyway? You thought they were after you." I remained silent, slightly annoyed that he had reversed the question with ease, and also because I couldn't tell him the answer, could I? "Did you kill someone?" He called out as he went back to gather more water in his pail. "Or is it just because you're a girl?" Thank Gods he had his back to me or else he would have seen my eyes grown wide.
"I'm not a girl." I quickly denied.
"Oh, you're not, is it?" Amusement danced in his eyes when he came back to where I stood by the almost-filled cauldron. "Do you think I'm as stupid as the rest of them?"
"Stupider." I ended up stating without a better retort on the top of my to tongue. "The Night's Watch doesn't take girls, everyone knows that." I continued to enforce, but Gendry was having none of it.
"Yeah, that's true, but you're still a girl."
"Am not!"
"Yeah? Well, pull your côck out and take a piss, then." He challenged, setting down the pail with a loud clatter and turning to face me in his full height and stature.
"I don't need to take a piss." My voice had grown soft and if I had believed I could convince Gendry he was wrong, I definitely didn't believe that anymore. "No one can know. Gendry, not even Lommy or-"
