( Jon has barely had time to wrap his mind around being a Targaryen, not a Stark, and Rhaenyra is the first person who can accept him for it. He thinks Daenerys would have seen it as a threat to her throne even though he didn't want it and never did and he never quite got the courage to tell her anyway; if she knew, she didn't know by his lips. He never would have wanted it to come between them.

With Rhaenyra, it makes them stronger. It's like he's found something in himself he never knew he had and he can share it here in the open without worrying about being killed for it. It's a good feeling. So is being cradled by her right now. )

Aye, and I am here for you. I know I don't need to pledge a sword or anything but I would, if I had to. You're the first person to know it and accept it. Who I am? It feels good.
