"Cursed? How's that?" Jon had not had the easiest of lives up until this point and this was yet another difficulty to overcome. Still, in light of that, he still didn't exactly feel cursed. He felt that his name gave him a burden than his trueborn brothers and sisters didn't carry, certainly, but it wasn't inherently bad luck.

"Has something like this happened to you before, my lady?" If it had, she might be a valuable source of information once Jon was able to help her to her feet and to somewhere safe where they might talk. He wouldn't bombard her with questions just at the moment. He'd let her get her bearings first.
