What if Jonerys Pt9

Ned was sitting under the Weirdwood tree and sank in his thoughts. Suddenly he heard a noise and immediately turned in the direction of it.

"Lord Stark." Dany quickly cleared her throat. "I did not want to disturb you." She blurted and turned to leave.

"No. No. Just come." Ned smiled at her and stood up. Turned to the tree. "It is the most mystical place here. Best place to... think clear." He added quietly and Dany walked next to him.

"I've read about those trees. Not too much. There aren't too many books about this part of the Kingdom in the libraries. I mean in Essos." She answered kindly.

"Where is Robb?" Ned glanced at her. "I thought he shows you every part of our home." He looked around just to be sure his son is not there.

"Lady Stark. "Dany sighed " and insisted on his presence for something. But I did not want to go back to my room." She lowered her head. No, she wanted to find Jon Snow. That was the truth. Ned narrowed his eyes at her answer.

"I hope all my children are kind to you." He turned to her again and raised his brow.

"Yes." She faked a smile quickly "All of them are very kind. Helpful and..." it was a lie but she did not want to hurt him. That would be so indecent.

"Even Sansa?" Ned laughed a bit and caught her gaze. She just smiled and lowered her head.

"May I ask something?" Dany narrowed her eyes.

"Anything you want, Princess." Ned turned back to the tree.

"Why did you save me and brought me here?" She split it out without hesitation. "I mean danger for your family. For everyone. I ... don't understand." She shrugged but Ned remained in silence. "I don't even understand how you convinced Viserys to let me leave. Lady Stark is not happy about my presence. But... despite that, you brought me here." She tried to understand.

"I did." Ned nodded.

"You avoid answering my question, Lord Stark," Dany stated quietly.

"I've made a promise to someone. A long time ago." He took a deep breath and looked at her. "And I am a man of words." He straightened himself. "The world needs you. Even if we are not sure about why or how or when." He was talking so confusedly. "Winter is coming and we have to be prepared for it. As much as we can."
