[Lyanna makes a noise with her tongue and looks less than pleased about that. Jon should be given every comfort that the other Stark children have. More of it, if she were to have to her way. But she can't, and she chokes back the words forming in her throat.]

You'll find what we want and what we get are often two very different things.

[She looks sad, thinking of choices made years ago and men who lie in their graves.]

This place is too good for men like my husband besides.
suvion: (up where they walk)

[jon and ghost both look up at her sharply.]

Has he hurt you?

[ghost thumps his tail on the ground, just once. jon clenches his right hand in the grass.]

hellabores: (i should've gone to the wall)

[His worry brings a little smile to her face and she shakes her head.]

Not with words or fists.

[It is no small secret in the seven kingdoms that her husband sleeps around. Or that he's fathered a dozen bastards. Or that he likes his drink. The secret is that he killed her love, her boy's father and for that she will never, ever forgive him.

Lyanna points a finger at Jon.]


You won't go fighting the king while we're here. Promise me that.
suvion: (nothing)

[personal profile] suvion 2017-08-14 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
[jon frowns a little, thinking, then grins at her wagging finger.]

I won't if my father doesn't.

[ghost, contented with this answer, nuzzles her knee.]
hellabores: (surrounded by morons)

[She gives them both an affectionate pat, Ghost gets one behind his ears and Jon gets her other hand to his chin. He looks so much like her but she thinks in that moment, she sees a fair bit of Rhaegar in him as well.]

Would you come with us? If your father accept the king's offer?
suvion: (joke's over go home)

[personal profile] suvion 2017-08-14 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[the touch and the question both startle jon, though ghost pushes his head into her hands contentedly. he looks up at her,
eyes wide.
]

If that's what you wanted.

[he can't imagine himself in the south, but he thinks he'd follow her anywhere. he tries a small, awkward smile.]

I was going to leave, anyway. I always wanted to join the Night's Watch.
hellabores: (oh shit)

[personal profile] hellabores 2017-08-14 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
The Night's Watch?

[He'd be safest there, at the Wall. As far away from Robert as he could be but it would mean she'd never see him again, and he'd never have the chance to take his birth right back. Lyanna does a poor job of keeping her emotions off her face.]

Why spend the rest of your life at the Wall?
suvion: (I wanna see)

[personal profile] suvion 2017-08-15 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[jon furrows his brow. what else is there for him? besides, the wall seems preferable to king's landing, though the company, and the sense of being valued, outweigh the material discomforts to his mind.]

To protect the realm. To make something of myself. A--man like me can go far in the Watch. You don't need land or a title.

[he pauses and ducks his head briefly, scratching ghost's belly. ghost wiggles happily.]

Why...would you want me with you? I'm a--I'm not well-bred like the others. I'm not good for much else besides fighting. You should take Arya--father always says how much she reminds him of you when you were her age. And Bran always wanted to be a knight.

[jon doesn't even know how to joust. he doesn't know what he'd do in the red keep. he can't imagine they'd let him in the kingsguard, even if he were willing to sit a vigil in the sept or compete in tourneys or whatever it was knights did in the south.]

[Lyanna chews on the inside of her cheek for a moment. The words are right there, dying to come out but she can't do it. It's not the right moment.]

Can I tell you a secret?

[Where the whole truth cannot come out yet, perhaps a half truth will do in its place.]

I knew your mother. She loved you very much. You're not just a bastard to me. You deserve whatever makes you happy. If that is the Wall, then so be it. But if you want something more than being banished to the shadows...
