''Lord Commander.'' Stannis remarked blandly

'Your Grace.''

''I'd like to speak alone.'' Stannis remarked as daavos came in.

'Ollie is my steward now, as I was Lord Commander Mormont's. I want him to attend my meetings, to learn from men with experience. One day, he might command." Jon countered confidently.

"Such a good leader already." Caro declared leaning back on the desk. Stannis stared at her. "I dont like nor trust you so I'm staying as well." Caro informed him with her sweetest of smiles. "Respectfully of course..."

"Very well. Have you considered my offer?" Stannis questioned through gritted teeth as he looked to Caro before Jon.

"I have." Jon agreed. "And I thank you for it. You do me great honor. All my life I wanted to be Jon Stark." Jon admitted humbly. Caro squeezed his shoulder. She wouldnt blame him. She loved jon and wanted the world for him.

"Say the word and you will be" Stannis agreed. He was going to win the north in his favor.

"But I have to refuse you" Jon corrected through a thick breath. "I'm Lord Commander of the Night's Watch." Jon reminded. "My place is here." Caro stared back at him before nodding softly in understanding.

"I'm giving you a chance to avenge your family. Take back the castle where you grew up." Stannis declared trying and failing at holding back his own anger. "To rule the North".

"I wish I could fight beside you. Believe me, I do." Jon admitted.

"I dont. You want the north for yourself. Not for us. Not for the starks. You dont want us to rule the north. You want Jon to be your bitch." Caro spat. "But you already have a red haired bitch ready to suck your cock."

"I dont want you to rule." Stannis agreed. "You are a woman."

"And you have a fucking death wish." Caro countered but Jon grabbed her hand stopping her.

"Apologies from both of us. But I swore a sacred vow at the Godswood. I pledged my life to the Night's Watch." Jon reminded him.

"You're as stubborn as your father." stannis remarked softly as his gaze shifted to Caro. "And as honorable." He added.

"I can imagine no higher praise" Jon remarked fondly.

"You are like my brother." Caro agreed.

"I didn't mean it as praise." Stannis corrected smugly. "Honor got your father killed." Stannis declare and Jon clenched his jaw.

"Trusting power hungry baratheons more like it." Caro countered.

"But if your mind is made up, I won't try to persuade you". Stannis hissed.

" how long you plan to stay at Castle Black?" Caro demanded.

"Same could be said for you." Stannis countered.

"Im a guest. You are a bossy name with false titles." Caro countered.

"I would like to know as well, your grace." Jon added stiffly. Caro was untamable.

"Are you bored of us already?" Stannis countered.

"You saved us from Mance Rayder's army. We will never forget that." Jon remarked knowing it was a partial lie. "But it's a question of survival." Jon added.

"Your survival of me not bashing you head in for another sexist comment." Caro clarified.

"Night's Watch can't continue to feed your men and the wildling prisoners indefinitely." Jon corrected.

"Winter is coming then?" Stannis teased.

"winter is coming". Caro agreed.

"I know it." Jon agreed.

"We march on Winterfell within a fortnight." Stannis declared. "Before the snows trap us here."

"And the wildlings?" Jon questioned. Caro glanced to him thinking the same thing.

"They'd rather burn than fight for me, so be it. I leave their fate to you" stannis hissed. ."You could execute them, that's the safest course." He added pompously.

"Or or jon you are in charge here and thats a dick head move from mr wants to burn the world down." Caro remarked. "Tormund..." she offered.

"The ginger cunt." Stannis corrected.

"you could see if Tormund is more willing to compromise than Mance ever was". Caro offered. "I could speak with him."

"So fucking charming you are." Stannis countered. "Probably tie you up bash your head in. Choke you with his chains." Stannis offered.

"Bondage. Fun." Caro countered innocently.

"I assume the brothers of the Night's Watch would rather see the wildlings dead." Stannis corrected looking to Jon.

"Most of the brothers, yes." Jon agreed. "There's little love for the free folk here."

"Im sweet as a peach. They will love me." Caro corrected.

"You're Lord Commander. Your decision." Stannis reminded him. "You have many enemies in Castle Black." Jon knew that was true.

"Have you considered sending Alliser Thorne elsewhere?" Davvos questioned

"Give him command of Eastwach-by-the-Sea." Stannis suggested but jon thought it sounded more like an order than friendly advice

. "I heard it was best to keep your enemies close." Jon countered

"Whoever said that didn't have many enemies." Stannis remarked

"Send them away to conspire against you." Caro agreed. "Build their armies weaponry and witchcraft..." stannis stared back at Caro from the door. "Bye." She added waving her hand slightly.

"He sees something in you". Davvos remarked "Might not be apparent from his tone, but it's the truth. He believes in you Jon Snow."

"I'm sorry I disappointed him". Jon answered

"Im not he is a cunt and you stick to your values," caro assured.

"The king is a complicated man". Davvos assured

"He is not the king." Caro corrected. "I saw the cute little bastard of incest get crowned. Stannis is nothing." Jon glanced back at her as she leaned against the desk confidently.

"But he wants what's right for the Seven Kingdoms." Davvos added.

"As long as he's ruling them". Jon corrected and Caro smiled in agreement.

"Or else he wants the world to burn." Caro agreed.

"He's the one true king. He has the blood right to that throne." Davvos reminded them.

"I sworn to stay clear of the politics of the Seven Kingdoms". Jon countered

"Have you now?" Davvos countered
"How does the Night's Watch vow go again?" He looked to Ollie at the door. "I bet you've got it memorized since you got here."

"Night gathers and now my watch begins..." ollie began

"Not that bit, the bit at the end". Davvos countered.

"So fucking demanding the both of them." Caro muttered.

"I'm the sword in the darkness, the watcher on the walls, the shield that guards the realm of men.I pledge my life..." ollie went on

"Okay, that's enough". Davvos agreed
"Shield that guards the realm of men.
That's what you swore to be. Now I'm not a learned man, the best way of helping the most people might not be sitting in a frozen castle at the edge of the world.It just might mean wading in the muck and getting your boots dirty and doing what needs to be done."

"And what needs to be done?" Jon countered

"As long as the Boltons rule the North, the North will suffer". Davvos remarked "Just one man's opinion". He added before heading out too.

"Hes not wrong about that." Caro agreed. "The one truthful thing either of those cunts declared.''
