It was something that Jon had always wanted to hear as a boy, had always wanted to hold close to his heart and never let go. He wanted to be a Stark more than anything and hearing it now, hearing that his father considered him a Stark and not a Snow felt like a weight being lifted from him and replaced, instead, with a crown. It was a big thing, to be a Stark and to carry the honor and responsibility of that name.
"I will do the name honor, Father. I swear it. I'll never let anything happen to Sansa so long as I draw breath."
