"I've had some experience fighting," Jon said. He thought it might be modest, considering he'd just come off the biggest victory of his career, but that had only come with aid from the Vale. He hadn't done that alone. He might have been made a king by the lords of the North but he wasn't born a king and the mantle set heavy on his shoulders.

Here, his title meant nothing. His name meant nothing. It would be the skill of his hands and the strength of his back that would carry him through here and he hoped that he would use them well and aid those around him. This man was tall and looked capable enough; he would make a fine ally.

"Not afraid to do that if I need to. I hope it doesn't come to it, though, since we've all just shown up. Hopefully whoever brought us here isn't looking to start a fight but if they are, I'm not afraid to finish it."
