"Are you heading south?" Karsi looked at Jon carefully after hearing his words.

He nodded. "It's time for me to see my old family. It's been 12 years since I last saw them..." Jon commented as if he were anyone else, not someone who missed his family, and Karsi noticed that very well.

"I had many doubts about you when I found out you're a relative of the Stark kings..." She began, but Jon interrupted her.

"The Starks haven't been kings for almost 300 years, but yes, we share the same blood. My late mother is the sister of the current Lord of Winterfell," Jon commented.

"Alright... But you don't seem to be very attached to them. Do you hate them?" Karsi murmured, seeing how Jon felt about the Starks, which was strange and even more mysterious to her.

"You're right... I don't hold my relatives in Winterfell in the highest regard, but I wouldn't say I hate them, I just despise them. And it's time for them to pay for some of their actions," Jon spoke firmly.

"..." Lucis was beside him but remained silent.

When they entered Karsi's tent, Jon wore a cloak to conceal his appearance and eyes, not wanting to be stopped along the way by people wanting to speak with him.

"I see... Well, if you've decided to go there, no one can stop you." She commented, but with some displeasure that Jon was leaving again, after all, he was very good for her tribe now that he had returned.

"And how do you plan to get past the Wall? I heard Mance crossed with a boat... Della knows more details if you're interested. Ask your sister, Val." She spoke as Jon nodded.

"That sounds too easy. I have my own way of doing it, so I'm not worried about the Wall," Jon said, cutting the subject short.

"I understand... Anyway... you killed a warg in the north... the Children of the Forest say you made a mistake. But I'm curious about what you did afterward since you went even further north, which is a mystery to all of us," she commented.

"The Children of the Forest are a bit disappointed that the one who was deceiving them is no longer here... anyway, what I found in the north..." Jon said, looking at Karsi with more serious eyes, while the only other person in the tent was Lucis herself, who looked at Jon with some caution, remembering the feeling she had when she learned what was in the north.

Karsi remained silent as Jon continued. "...What's in the north... is the army of the dead." He spoke, leaving a brief, grim silence in the tent, with Karsi furrowing her brow.

"How many...?" She murmured awkwardly.

"Three times the size of this camp... maybe more," Jon said.

"If that's true... we're going to die if we don't cross the Wall..." She said with a tone showing fear for the first time with Jon, after all, she was thinking about her daughters.

"I know... we need to get them out of here as soon as possible..." Jon commented as if it were the most obvious thing.

"We need to bring this up at the meeting. Can you attend?" She said, as this was urgent.

"Of course, but not now. I want to settle a few more things first," Jon replied.

"Alright... but come with me tomorrow. I'll talk to Della about your return and any possible news you might share." She said as Jon nodded.
