❛ i will be back as soon as i can… i won’t make you wait long, i swear it. ❜ he kept his grip on her firm, hoping to warm her up some before he had to take his leave. her suffering was worse to him than all the pain he had endured – he’d have relived the horrors of greyscale if it meant she was safe and sound. as it stood, all he could offer her was comfort now, and promise of rescue later.
❛ dragonfire will be useful, i’m sure. ❜ he mused softly, running a hand over her silver hair absentmindedly. jorah would have burned the keep to the ground in a heartbeat, was he not afraid of bringing the rubble down on daenerys. drogon was part of the plan – as was yara greyjoy, and the few unsullied who remained. but the timing had to be perfect, or else they’d surely die for their treason. ❛ you’ll be warm and safe by the end of the week, khaleesi. i won’t fail you. ❜
both were far too reluctant to release their holds on the other. the darkest pits of daenerys’ heart s c r e a m e d not to let go, that this may be the last time she ever spent safe within her adviser’s scarred arms. far - paler than usual digits toyed absentmindedly at the back of jorah’s neck, her own heart pounding at what felt like a thousand beats per minute.
‘ i hope i’m as confident i won’t fail you. ‘ former queen whispered out, unstable as she finally pulled away from jorah’s iron - like grasp. ‘ if . . . this is the last time we see each other, please know my heart remains with you --- even after death. you’re the only one who’ll cherish it. ‘
