After her father delivers this advice, she draws guard! Here Ned gets the brilliant idea, arguably the best idea he’s ever had, to get Arya some “dancing” lessons. And dancing means swordfighting lessons – Braavos style.

This is the beginning of a conversation between these two that drags on throughout this season. Robert shows his cause of worry with Daenerys and her new husband Khal Drogo, whereas Ned thinks little of it, doubting the Dothraki and trying to get Robert to think of more immediate dangers in the realm.
Jaime Lannister: Is it "we" already? Have you taken your vows then?
Jon Snow: Soon enough.
Jaime Lannister: Give my regards to the Night's Watch. I'm sure it will be thrilling to serve in such an elite force. And if not, It's only for life. Game of Thrones – The Kingsroad

On the surface of this conversation, one could take that Jaime is belittling Jon and disrespecting his life choice, which he most definitely is doing. But underneath it all, he’s also talking down on the Night’s Watch itself.
Jaime is certainly a skilled combatant and revered at that, but his thoughts on the Night’s Watch almost match his brothers, that it’s a little outdated and not entirely necessary.
However, don’t think that Jaime is mocking a life oath, because he himself has taken one, as he’s a member of the King’s Guard. Of course, we all know how seriously he kept his oath to protect and serve the King, especially after he literally stabbed the first king he served in the back.
Sandor Clegane: Do I frighten you so much, girl? Or is it him there making you shake? He frightens me too. Look at that face.
Sansa Stark: I'm sorry if I offended you, Ser. Why won't he speak to me? Game of Thrones – The Kingsroad

The beginning of a very unique friendship… Or admiration. Sandor (The Hound) is Joffrey’s bodyguard. Sansa is set to wed Joffrey down the line, which obviously, the Hound knows. Sansa could be seen as pure and entirely innocent. The Hound looks a bit on the darker side. Sansa and the Hound’s exchange here shows us that he likes her, and that he breaks his hardass bodyguard image to ensure Sansa comfort by poking fun at Ser Ilyn.
And do note the Hound’s expression as Joffrey enters, (he looks down at his feet) and obviously Sansa grins from ear to ear.
