      it wasn’t surprising to find ser jorah awake, even at such a late hour. no one else would be so lucky to catch the silver queen with her hair a mess and still in just a robe, though jorah and herself had been through too much to care about such trivial things between them. daenerys approached the hearth with a faint sigh at his request. 

      ‘  they don’t like me.  ‘  daenerys huffed out,  hands rising to steal warmth from the flames. her fingertips touched the fire itself.  ‘  the northmen and woman. sansa stark. i only came here to help and we all very well may die within the next few days.  ‘  pausing, the dragon queen thought long and hard before sitting in jorah’s lap instead of the chair he’d gestured to.  ‘  i don’t know what will make them trust me. i —- i don’t know that they should trust me.  ‘

   jorah stiffened beneath his queen, eyes widening in shock at such a forward ( and seemingly intimate ) gesture.   quick as it had come, however, the bear fought it away, not wishing to startle daenerys or make her change her mind.   he did not know where to put his hands, though, and eventually settled on keeping one against the arm rest, the other falling against her mid-back.   what in seven hell’s was she doing?

   ❛     northerners are proud -- prouder than most, and infinitely more stubborn.   but they honour courage, and are fiercely loyal to the lords who display such things.   make it through this battle, fight at their sides, and they will trust you without a doubt.     ❜     jorah stopped, turning a confused gaze upon his queen.     ❛     your grace...  you cannot let uncertainty cloud your mind.  things are grim now, but no other will serve these people as dutifully and generously as you.   you are good.   few can say that about their leaders.     ❜

         she hadn’t a clue how long she’d been standing there. samwell of house tarly warned her he might not make it, and despite her anger she thanked him. how could she lose him now ? he spoke of giving his life for her, but what good was his life if it was gone ?  every possible scenario ran through the queen’s head until her thoughts simply paused at the sound of her bear’s grizzly voice. 

       her own figure was covered in scars and bruises, two ribs fractured after falling from drogon during the battle. all that pain numbed in an instant, attention focused entirely on jorah’s eyes fluttering open. ‘  forgive you ? —- ‘  a short, vaguely hysterical laugh filled the quiet room. instead of having him rise, khaleesi lowered herself to her knees besides his bed. both trembling hands rose to grab for one of his.  ‘  shall i forgive you for saving my life ? for — for returning for me ?  ‘  danaerys shook her head.  ‘  i forgive you for making me think i lost the one person i need by my side. you deserve to rest, ser jorah.  ‘

    despite the aches and pains he suffered, dulled only a little by milk of the poppy, a sense of calm washed over him as daenerys took his hand in hers.   a faint smile crossed the bear’s mouth, meant to reassure his queen that all was alright -- he was alive, and so was she, and there was no better outcome than this, he was certain.     ❛     thank you, your grace.   you are far too kind.   you ... honour me.     ❜

    he paused to take in a sharp breath, the pain flashing through him for a moment, and jorah squeezed her hand to steady himself.      ❛     i would die for you, khaleesi, but i am glad that i didn’t.   i want to serve you as long as my lungs still breathe and my heart still beats.     ❜     jorah met her gaze, a lump forming in his throat that he could not swallow down.      ❛     thank you for saving me.   a true queen protects her people...   and true you are.     ❜

“ i can’t sleep. ” Dany 2 jorah ):

    ❛     come and join me by the fire, your grace.   if you cannot rest, you may as well be warm.     ❜     a free hand gestured to the seat across from him, head dipping respectfully before taking a long sip from his flask.  nights in the north were peaceful to a man like him, born to the cold and the darkness that came too soon --- but to a woman like her who had known nothing but the heat of the sun and the deserts of essos, he knew that daenerys would feel the effects more than most.   in combination with the unbearable weight upon her shoulders, it came as no surprise to him that rest escaped her.

   ❛     is there something on your mind?   share it with me, and perhaps i can ease it.     ❜

     ❛     your gra--     ❜     the bear’s voice caught in his throat, ripped away as he struggled to sit upright, ignoring the sharp sting of wounds not-yet healed.   a grimace flicked across jorah’s face before he pushed it away, not wishing to show weakness before his queen.   she who fought at his side, she who saved him, she who he would have died for, and she who said no.   jorah owed her more now than he ever had.

                                                                 ❛     forgive me, khaleesi, i cannot rise.     ❜
