It's true that given how much he covered in what little he spoke of with Dany in public, she could piece it together, but I'm going to play it in that her immediate assumption that he was just stating a baldface lie in order to gain some kind of upper-hand in a strange land (who wouldn't want to be king instead of being leashed to the night's watch?). It's such a grand statement that it wouldn't even occur to her that it could be true; the progression just wouldn't make sense from her POV. She's just too happy to see him to be mad about him lying like that...for now. He'll start getting hounded with questions once she's done making it all about herself (she's too good at that still).
Also I am 3000% in for them becoming close siblings finally, although it will be so difficult even for him to get close to her. He definitely has a head start on everyone else, though! I agree that with their powers combined, they are nigh unstoppable.
(The stuff he’s saying to Dany… honestly, it’s so impossible that it makes sense to go with something like “I guess he just has to lie too sometimes,” and more interesting for the truth to come out gradually.)
Pretty much! She's surprised Jon got so good at lying, but who knew what the Night's Watch taught him! He goes too large, though, gotta make the lies more lowkey, bro. Father is rolling in his grave.
But honestly, everything that's happened to him will make her soul leave her body more than once when she learns of it. Dying and resurrection? When did you become a magic man, Jon Snow? Where are her magic powers gdi?
