Hearing of the North's regard for the Starks, as well as Stannis Baratheon's approval makes her stomach turn. Something about it reminds her too much of Viserys' blind belief that the smallfolk were drinking secret toasts to him and would come out in support for him when he landed in Westeros.

She only knew the Starks through stories and it was at their hands her family suffered. Convincing her of their honor was difficult from the outset, and while she would reflect on this later, she wanted to see more how Jon Snow would frame this, how he would approach it. Who he was would be shown more clearly in how he regarded and viewed those he cared for. Viserys would never have spoken softly about her or as tenderly as Jon spoke of his father.

That alone told her that he had a gentleness in him, a kind she had never really known before in her life. "If you were loved then there was love he could give. He was capable of it. Some are not. I am glad for you."
