Brienne had every reason to be concerned that such a nefarious, infamous, and violent killer was even in Arya's proximity.
That's right, and the Hound who knew there was a price on his head had good reasons not to trust someone carrying a Lannister sword with a well visible golden lion pommel.
Long may she reign

At this point Arya has turned into Chuck Norris, a force of one. She no longer requires protection. Sansa has turned ruthless, Cersei better look over her shoulder. The Hound will dispatch The Mountain with his breath.

Even if you wanted to make that argument, the Hound's reputation is not entirely unfounded. He slaughtered a child and merrily retrieved the bloody, mangled corpse to the king's party. He also went on a bizarre and very public tirade about how he loved to kill and how he had put women in the ground. What are people to think?
PS. If this is another joke post, A+ trolling. -

When she was talking to Sansa she said the man Arya was with seemed like he was good to her.
Yeah, she was sugar coating it to put Sansa at ease about Arya's fate but she hardly seems to be holding hurt feelings over the thing.
Her personality is actually very much capable of changing her mind when new evidence presents itself. For instance, she changed her opinion on Jaime. She was willing to work with Davos and Mel despite their being with Stannis previously. She was willing to trust them enough to leave Sansa with them granted because Sansa convinced her Jon was trustworthy not them. But if she were the type to really stick herself in she'd never have allowed her with TeamStannis.
I'm no big Brienne fan but she's one of the most reasonable characters. All Sansa would have to say is the Hound was kind to her and she'd back off immediately. -

I don't assume the BWOB are going north to be with Jon, I'm assuming they'll stay in the Riverlands and approximate the "Lady Stoneheart" schtick from the books.
With Arya.
Seventy-seven courses and a regicide, never a wedding like it! -

The actors and directors have already confirmed that they are attracted to each other. From the books, it's obvious Brienne is attracted to Jaime. She described him as a god, and thinks about the steam coming off his naked body during the baths, and blushes.
ETA: Just a few quotes.
"[Brienne] represents the best parts of [Jaime] and clearly theres a love and an attraction," -Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Its that thing when two people are attracted to each other but they refuse to acknowledge that whole elephant in the room, and for everyone else around them its pretty obvious." -Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

The extraordinary thing for me is that they create such a beautiful, dramatic tension in any two-shot that has Nikolaj and Gwendoline. The way they use their eyes to either connect or disconnect to avoid each others eyes is so great. They play the black notes of their scenes so beautifully.
But heres the thing: as soon as you say cut, they become the best of mates who just rip the piss out of each other continuously. Theyre really good friends. Theyre so light, and such fun together. Whenever theres a day with them, I know its going to be great, because theyre just going to be taking the piss out of each other from start to finish. Gwendoline has the most extraordinarily, fantastically contagious laugh in the world. Its just this odd day of having the most fun and creasing up laughing so much, and yet, as soon as we say action, they switch into this wonderful
sexual tension
and this wonderful sense of yearning and beautiful
layers of unspoken subtext between them
. As actors, they understand that connection so instinctively that it was one of my easiest days as a director. They know that relationship and understand it, and theres something about that chemistry these two actors have that fans those flames in the most intoxicating way.
