"It would be warmer, I think, and less lonely. The winters can be dark and cold," Jon said, nodding in agreement. He didn't remember his first winter very well, having been fairly young, but he hoped that the winters here in this place didn't last as long as the ones in the Seven Kingdoms; they did not have nearly enough food stored for a years-long winter.

"I don't know if our crops will be enough for this winter but I hope we will have something to carry us through. I fear there won't be enough left even for the animals to graze if it lasts long. We may be doing them a mercy to hunt them."
