( Jon sits beside her and hears her talk about her father wanting to keep peace and her uncle being a war hero. The way she describes them, the words she uses - just as she knew he loved Daenerys, he thinks he can reasonably say she loves them too.

Doesn't have to be. Best women I've ever known fought in real battles and none of them had to do with having babies. Loved a Wildling woman who shot me full of arrows once. My younger sister, Arya? She trained with the Faceless Men in Braavos to be an assassin. Sansa could hear ten arguments at once and determine which one was the best compromise, the thing that would be good for the people. And Daenerys, well. She had dragons. Do you have a dragon?
