The walkway closing the distance between ships creaked as boards met deck. Grey Worm stepped off, accompanied by five other Unsullied and three Dothraki as they prepared to make future arrangements regarding Wintefell.
"Will Daenerys be joining us?" Grey Worm asked Jorah. It was unlike their queen not to greet them on deck.
"I'm afraid Her Grace isn't feeling well," Jorah said. "We believe it was the fish we caught and served last night. One of our oarsmen fell ill as well, albeit with a worse case than she had,"
Grey Worm nodded. Such was the way of traveling by sea. "I take it Missandei is tending to her?"
"Yes. It will just be you and I today,"
Jorah led Grey Worm to the meeting room where they took a seat. A bowl of mixed berries was placed at the center of the table, precious fruit gathered from their trip to Bear Island a few days prior. Jorah doubted they would dine on such delicacies where they were headed. From what Lyanna told him, Winterfell was facing a crushing winter, much worse than that on Bear Island. The Starks were always saying winter was coming; apparently winter had finally come.
"If Jon Snow accepts our offer to ride with us to King's Landing, Daenerys wishes for us to remain in Winterfell until we have formulated a concrete plan, and then taken ahold of the throne," Jorah explained. "Once the Lannisters have been overthrown, the northerners will sail back to their newly succeeded Kingdom,"
"And if they don't accept our offer?" Grey Worm asked.
"We will head back to Dragonstone to regroup," Jorah said, "And possibly reach out to make an alliance with Dorne,"
Jorah could see their trip to Winterfell going either way, though he hoped the North would align with Daenerys in her quest to take the iron throne. While they were at Bear Island Jorah and Daenerys had been informed Tyrion Lannister and a man by the name of Varys had joined Jon Snow in the North, and that the Lannister was now Hand to Jon. If this were true, perhaps Tyrion's departure from King's Landing would play in their favor in that he would encourage Jon to join them in uprooting his sister. Of course, the flip side could happen as well: Tyrion may want no part in placing a new Queen on the throne, and only desire to fight for the North.
"What would we do then," Jorah thought, "If the North were to turn us away?" Jon Snow was known to be a fair and just man like his father, but what would happen if swords were to suddenly turn on them? The Unsullied and Dothraki would be able to overthrow Wintefell, but not all of the North.
Jorah heard a screech through the wooden walls, and the ship rocked slightly to one side, and then the other. No doubt Drogon had just flown overhead. This simple act filled Jorah with newfound courage. They had a dragon on their side, and in the end the Red Keep was no match for the fire of a dragon.
