It means you're willing to make yourself miserable...

...and you might enjoy it.

You do seem to wear the brooding well, Ser King.

[northerndragon]

I don’t enjoy it. It isn’t what I want. It is my duty.

And what of you? A playful girl, but you know what it is to sack a city. You put me in mind of someone.

[thebrideoffire]

Who do I remind you of?

I warn you not to say Cersei Lannister.

[northerndragon]

A playful girl who would have gladly sacked a city, if she had ever seen one. But she was born north of the Wall.

[thebrideoffire]

I can't say it's something I do "gladly". It's more for the people being harmed.

This girl seemed important to you.

[northerndragon]

Didn’t say you did it gladly, but she would have. She had no love for southroners.

I can’t deny that I cared for her.

[thebrideoffire]

Why? I don't know anything about the people beyond the Wall.

You loved her?

[northerndragon]

The Free Folk were cut off from the world, trapped beyond the Wall with the White Walkers. The Night’s Watch was not kind to them, and Wildling raiders were not kind to villages in the Gift. The Free Folk are independent, and tough-minded, and loyal to their own; they rely only on themselves and on friends. But they had little love for the Wall or its defenders or the people who wanted to kill them or leave them to die.

As to the girl — aye, you might say that. She died fighting.

[thebrideoffire]

[Things to remember if she becomes queen.]

Do they prefer to be nomadic or would they like their own land?

I'm sorry. Thank you though. To be compared to a woman you admired and loved is a high compliment.

cw passing mention of rape in the context of “stealing brides”

[northerndragon]

Depends on the clan. They have their own villages — or they did, once. They left their lands to escape the threat.

I have found them to be good and loyal friends, once you make friends of them. They have their reasons for their hatreds. We have treated them like animals at times. And Northmen have had their reasons for hating them: they have raided villages, stolen goods, stolen girls to make brides of them.

I think Ygritte would have liked you. Or she might have tried to kill you. Can’t say.

[thebrideoffire]

Your Free Folk remind me of the Dothraki. Respect is earned, not expected. It would be something that I would appreciate. Though, the stealing of brides, that must stop. I will not tolerate such things. Whether they accept me as a queen or not, I will not allow women to be harmed in such a way.

I am amazed that such a woman would win you, but perhaps, not so surprised.

[northerndragon]

They don’t raid the North anymore. They live there, by my leave. Just now, they hold Eastwatch, because the Watch alone no longer has the strength to man it in the way that’s needed.

I would not put it that way, that she won me. Only that I cared for her, and that I tried to give her the funeral rites she would have wanted.

cw: Rape

[thebrideoffire]

So long as there is some level of order in the lands, Ser King. Such practices stay with women and kill them slowly inside. I will not tolerate it. Whether I am your queen or not, there will be a day I return to Westeros. I do not want the smallfolk to suffer any longer.

It was the same for me when my Sun and Stars died.

[northerndragon]

[Omggggggggggs, respect Northern sovereignty, etc etc. This definitely gets her A Look.]

Do you really think that’s the way in lands I rule?

[thebrideoffire]

[She doesn't flinch.]

It's the way of many lands ruled by men.

[northerndragon]

It isn’t the way in the North. Not in my hands, or my father’s.

[thebrideoffire]

No? You have soldiers and I imagine they act as they often do.

[northerndragon]

Not with any leave. If I saw one of my men doing that, I’d kill him myself.

[thebrideoffire]

I wonder what the smallfolk of the North might say if asked?

[northerndragon]

They’d likely complain to you of Ramsay Bolton, who is dead.

[thebrideoffire]

I have never heard this name.

Cw Ramsay Bolton

[northerndragon]

After the Lannisters murdered my brother and a good portion of the North’s strength, they installed their own creature, a traitor, Roose Bolton. Ramsay was his son.

The man who would have allowed those things, who reveled in those things — that was him. I would say that he was dead at my hand, I would like to have killed him, but I gave him to my sister to kill. They had married her to him.

You can’t tell her. She is forewarned, but I will not tell her what he will do to her. We left nothing of him, in the end.

[thebrideoffire]

[It doesn't slip her notice that he knows how it feels to have his seat of power usurped. What a surprise that it was a man unworthy of that position. Ned Stark wasn't here to see it, but what would he think if he could?

She couldn't say. She knew nothing of the man, only that his children loved him.]

You were fortunate to return home again.

[northerndragon]

We had to fight for every little inch of it, and even that might not have been enough. A giant died helping us take back Winterfell. Hundreds of men, a slaughter like I’ve never seen.

But aye, there was luck in it too. If there was not, I would not hold the place now.

[thebrideoffire]

Giants truly exist?
