No, I’m not. I am true to my word, as much as I can be.
I don’t know you well enough to know what you want. Mere obedience? You could have that easy enough, if even a little of what I’ve heard of dragons is true. But you landed on Dragonstone and held court there. You didn’t try to take King’s Landing already. You don’t just want Cersei dead.
[He doesn’t say it, because he isn’t sure: southron politics can grow very complicated. But he thinks it might be that she wants to be loved... or, at least, preferred. Welcomed.]
As it is, I know you need me less than I need you. I’m on my way into a trap that I thought he was too good to spring. But if we do not band together, none of the rest of it will matter. We will all die.
And telling you that now, that seems like something that could be forgotten back there, too. I could spend days convincing you, and it might not matter then, because neither of us might remember it. Or my ship might sink, I die, and then we never meet.
I don’t know what the future brings. I only know that the Dead are coming, and they come to the North first.
