He fled during the Battle of Blackwater. He's afraid of fire.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I have a Littlefinger question that I am hoping book readers can answer.
So, if Littlefinger is playing the long game here, what are we to believe is his ultimate aim? The power shifts he has contributed to/engineered could destabilize and cause more problems than he is prepared to address.

And is his wandering accent all part of the diabolical plan?

I'm not sure we know what his long-term goal is. And even if he says what it is at some point, he's probably lying. There are a few things I can think of that might be what he's ultimately trying to do, but they're all pure speculation and involve a ton of stuff (including several characters) that the show isn't going to get to for a while. (Also, I think I need to reread the fifth book, since, in having discussions about the books with other people who read them, I realize that I was getting way too bogged down in the several hundred plotlines they had by that point, and I really only remember about half of what happened.)

I'm not completely convinced he has a long-term goal other than get everything he didn't have as a child - wealth, status, Cat (or reasonable facsimile thereof such as Sansa), etc. Possibly he has something more specific in mind, but I don't think so.

Because books.

Yeah, this season I could swear that he sounds different.

There have been times when he had several different accents within a single sentence.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The first things I'd seen him in he had a thick Irish accent and then a serviceable general American one.
But if people can change faces, why not?
Someone remind me--did Arya's wolf get killed? Or it still off in hiding?

Because books.
We haven't seen Arya's wolf since she shooed off back in S1.

Hmm. I wonder if that will be a thing. From what I've learnt about GRRM, it should be, shouldn't it?
