This scene is incredibly moving and shows how truly gracious and honourable these two men, these Northern men were. Longclaw was the family sword of House Mormont. By all rights it should have gone to Jorah, the only child and heir of Jeor, had Jorah not fallen from grace. Instead, Jeor gave the sword to Jon.

Yet, when the opportunity presented itself, when Jon tried to give Jorah back his family’s sword, Jorah declined. Jon didn’t have to try and give back that sword to Jorah, but he did. To me, it felt like Jon was telling Jorah his sins had been forgiven and he should and could take his rightful place back as a Northern Lord. Jon Snow was not only offering Jorah back his sword but his honour. Jorah, though, had long since come to terms with his past and although there was that brief moment where he looked as if he would accept, he said no. Instead, he let Jon keep it. For a knight, however fallen, to give up his sword, a sword that was his birthright, a sword made of Valyrian steel and had been in his family for generations, to let it pass to someone else, was humbling I’m sure for Jon, it also showed how gracious, dignified, and honourable Ser Jorah Mormont was. It also showed that even without land or a title, Jorah Mormont was a nobleman. Jorah Mormont was a noble man who didn’t need to have his honour restored because he never lost it. And In the end, for his valour, I honestly believe Jorah was not only forgiven by the North for his transgressions but embraced as a true son and hero of the North.

A spot-on interpretation @chryssadirewolf I agree 💯 about Jorah's honor, and that after his death, he was embraced as a hero. There were likely songs written about his valor.

So okay 

Gif 1-2: She hears someone entering the chamber and closes her eyes like she is exhausted and does not want to see anybody

Gif 3: She hears his voice and there is a spark on her face because it’s HIM

Gif 5: Looks still exhausted but also relieved to see him and not anyone else

Gif 6: Scans the whole of him with McDreamyFace

She was upset with Tyrion just seconds ago, who had done things that offended her, and Jorah enters as if he might have done something too, but she is like “I am upset, but you cannot do something that upsets me, because at the moment I am just happy to see you”

[houseofthebear]

I love how he stands to his full height when she turns to him in the 4th gif…so happy and proud to be in her presence

Iain Glen’s Interview on Mary and Richard…

So does he really love Mary, one of the most popular characters from the first series? “Yes,” replies Iain. “He nurses a genuine love for Mary. In her, he sees an independent woman with great spark and intelligence, rucking up against the expectations of women from her class. He is willing to give Mary her head.” “The third person” in the relationship between Richard and Mary is, of course, her ex, Matthew. He represents a potential spanner in the works for Richard. Iain says that, “It’s complicated, because Mary harbours an unfulfilled passion for Matthew which will never go away. Richard gets to know about that and feels threatened and wants to exorcise it from her. That is one of the threads of this series, and it comes between them.” Iain continues that in many ways Richard and Mary are very well suited. “At this point, we don’t know whether they will get together, but any future marriage would have genuine passion. Richard cannot be dismissed. They’re both independent, forceful, tough people. Their relationship is hot, not sexless. They are suited to each other, but also fiery. There would be many an argument along the way. It could go either way!” The actor has relished working with Michelle Dockery who plays Mary. “She’s a wonderful person. She’s great fun. We have a real laugh together – were both great gigglers. It sounds like a paradox, but when the writing is very good, you become really dependent on the other actors to realise a scene. “Michelle and I talked a lot about our screen relationship – I really value her opinion. She’s a marvellous actress. You might think that she is tailor-made for the role of Mary, but she isn’t. She’s just made it seem that way.”

The actor believes that viewers have been so drawn to Downton Abbey because of its marvellous subtlety. “The first series struck such a chord because we live in a world where so much of public life is revealed. Everything in modern life is so stated, not hidden. “We now live in a much more morally compromised world with far fewer absolutes. Period drama such as Downton Abbey investigates a subtler world where people’s moral dilemmas seem so much more nuanced than now. In that world people wrestled with quieter issues. We look back on it and think that it was a better, often kinder place to be.” He adds, “In those days, characters struggled with whether they could express their love for someone. Nowadays we live in a world where you don’t think twice before jumping into bed with someone. We’re bombarded with images and everything is on display. So we like to go back to a world where things were not shown. Period drama is about what is not said and what is under the surface. Viewers have to work harder but they like that responsibility. Period drama like Downton Abbey really satisfies audiences.”

Oh thank you for the reblog @terisrog !!! I had never read this! Sheds really interesting light on the characters and the actors’ process…. 

This said, I wish it would appease in me that one scene where Richard physically threatens Mary in secret. I can’t quite knit that moment into the “they are made of the same cloth and equals” theory… Maybe that scene is a glitch, an “error” in the narrative arc of Sir Richard? (leaving a blank here for meta ;-)
