The group had just arrived at Hardhome. Joanna could see two men standing at the shore looking at the ships.

The older-looking man had leaned over and told the younger man something before the younger man nodded and ran off just as the ships full of Crows and wildlings docked at Hardhome and Jon, Tormund, and Joanna out together.

"You trust me, Jon Snow? Joanna Stark?" Tormund asks the two of them but mainly Joanna who nods her head gently before looking away.

"Does that make me a fool?" Jon asked the man

"We are fools together now," Tormumd replied softly then they walked to meet the men and women of Hardhome, led by a man dressed in bones

"Lord of Bones. Been a long time." Tormund greeted him

"Last time I saw you the little crow was your prisoner. The other way around now. What happened?" The Lord of Bones asked the man.

"War." That was all Tormund said

"You call that a war? The greatest army the North has ever seen cut to pieces by a Southern king." The guy spat which caused Joanna to roll her eyes

"We should gather the elders find somewhere quiet to talk." Tormund tried to change the subject

"You don't give the orders here." The man told Tormund angrily

"I'm not giving an order" Tormund replies

"Why aren't you in chains?" The man asks

"He's not my prisoner," Joanna spoke up and stepped forward

"What is he?" He asks her but before she can answer, Jon did

"We're allies," Jon said causing Joanna to drop her head in slight disappointment then suddenly she heard the rest of the wildings start to complain

"You fucking traitor! You fight for the crows now." The lord of bones spat

"I don't fight for the crows." Tormund remarks

"We're not here to fight. We're here to talk." Joanna jumped in as her normal Targaryen-Lannister anger flowed through her.

"Is that right? You and the pretty crows do a lot of talking, Tormund. And when you're done talking, do you get down on your knees and suck his cock--" the lord of Bones started but was ultimately cut off by Tormund grabbing the Lord of Bones' staff from him and beating him to death with it.

"Gather the elders and let's talk," Tormand demanded once he finished. Joanna could see the group of wilding staring at her as she wore the crown Robb had made for her but she could tell that, that wasn't what they were looking at. They were looking at her hair and eyes.

"I'll stand watch out here," Joanna told Tormund. He nodded his head knowing that the only reason she didn't want to go in was for two reasons. One she didn't want to be questioned on her hair that everyone seemed to be looking at and the second, she wanted to look around to see if she could spot her brother.

So the two went into a cabin. She stayed just outside of it. But she could hear Jon and the others very well. Tormund had told her the names of everyone inside and gave her a brief description of what they looked and sounded like.

"My name's Jon Snow. I'm Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. I am also here with Joanna of House Targaryen, Lannister, Stark, and Martell. Princess of the Seven Kingdoms and Queen in the North." She heard Jon introduce. "We're not friends. We've never been friends. We won't become friends today. This isn't about friendship. This is about survival. This is about putting a 700-foot wall between you and what's out there." Jon further explained why they were there.
