"Would you please repeat it?" Dany turned to Daario and she can't believe that he just said. 
"I thought I come to her trust. This way I could keep my eye on her more." he shrugged his shoulder.
"I don't remember, I ordered you to do it." Dany raised her brow. 
"You did not." he nodded "But there is something wrong with Sansa Stark and it is not just you..." he explained, "Not just you, My Queen who feels it. I just want to keep my eyes on her, and it won't work if I act as her enemy." 
"I would need more people like you," Dany admitted with a small smile. "I allow you to continue this." she crossed her fingers in front of her body. "But watch out, Sansa Stark learned many things from Cercei Lannister. It became clear last time." she turned to the window. "Do not let her..."
"Twist my head?" Daario stepped closer to Daenerys with a smirk on his face. 
"It would not advance our cause." She stated. 
"In the old days... I would have thought you were jealous." Daario smiled, and Dany lowered her head, but he saw the small smile on her face. 
"Those were old times." she sighed. "I ... I'd be the happiest if you ... find someone, someone who you can love." she looked at his face. "Again." she added. "Especially after the loss of... " she swallowed.
"Lilyanna was just... some adventure." Daario made it clear. "I was not in love with her."
"But she was important for you." she took a deep breath and walked to the map. Keep her eyes on it. 
"I think.. it is better if Jon Snow doesn't get to know what kind of game we're playing with his sister. Right?" he asked quietly. Dany raised her head and looked at him. She opened her mouth, but she doesn't know the right answer to this question.  

"Am I interrupt something?" Jon stepped inside and he couldn't help himself, he hated when they are together... alone. No matter how many months passed, no matter how many times they were discussed that topic. He was jealous of that man, even if he wanted to hide it. 
"No." Dany smiled at him and walked closer. "We were just talking about..."
"Missandei" Daario finished her sentence. "And I did what you've asked, Your Grace. I go and made sure the guards always keep their eyes on her."
"Thank you." Dany nodded and frowned. Jon noticed there is something wrong, there is something that they may do not tell him. He waited until Daario walked out from the room passed by him then stepped to Daenerys.  He placed his arms around her and kissed her forehead.
"What did I miss?" He asked her quietly. 
"Nothing." Dany placed her cheek to his chest. 
"Did he... "Jon took a deep breath "figured out where Sansa went after she left the meeting?" 
"To the garden." Dany looked up, and she was staring at his face. "She ... needed a walk and some fresh air."
"I am glad to hear that," Jon answered with a serious face. "I would have wondered if she..."
"Go after our daughter?" Dany raised her brow and asked him, then turned back to the map. "Just for you to know our daughter was in the garden too." 
"I know. I saw her. Just some minutes ago." he answered. 

"I suppose... based on your questions you did not talk with your sister." she glanced at him.
"No. I ... needed some fresh air too. Before I go to talk with my stubborn and arrogant sister." he lowered his head. "But... I think we have time for that. Later. Now we have some more important task to do." he pointed to the map, where they were assumed Tormund and Ghost were. 
"Do you want to do this now?" Dany asked him quietly.
"Yes." he answered "And I want you to be there with me. To ... pull me back, if ... anything goes wrong." he placed his hand to her shoulder. "If you don't have anything else... more important thing... to do... with someone else." he couldn't keep his mouth. 
"I almost missed the jealous comment." she raised her eyes at him. Jon pulled her closer.
"We learned to... accept each other, but that doesn't mean... " Jon started but she placed her finger to his lips. 
"I love you" she whispered to him, and she needed to stand her tiptoe a little to reach his lips to kiss him. Jon kissed her back and raised her up by her waist. "Jon!" she giggled so loud and he put her back to the floor. 
"I love you too. And I know I don't have to worry about him. But let me be jealous at least a little." he made a face, with a small smile. They kissed each other again, and Jon hugged her close once more. 
"We should go, right?" she asked him quietly. 
"I am afraid we have to."
