Yes, there are long-term plans for fostering and maybe one or two marriages, after the wars are over and Dany's child is born. (After all, it matters a lot whether the baby is a girl or a boy.)

I wouldn't like to follow the show's route with the Others and the War for the Dawn. So there won't be a Night King as the leader of White Walkers.


Silence

"Speak, my friend. What are your news for me?"

The fisherman is crinkling his cap in his hands.

Save for the captain he is the only man in this sevenfold cursed ship who is able to speak. It is a rather gruesome thought.

"The Queen left Dragonstone at dawn. This time she was flying heading north."

"To Winterfell, I assume. It means she will be far away for days."

Seeing him smile the fisherman swallows hard.

He saw a deck red like blood. Or red by blood – it is easy to imagine, really.

He saw creatures that could have been men once – long before their captain, long before the Silence.

He saw a fleet so huge that it could enslave all the seas of the world.

But that smile of Euron Crow's Eye is the most horrifying amongst all those things.

"The dragons?" he asks.

"The black and the green went with the Queen. The white one stayed."

The Crow's Eye is lost in thought for a moment.

"Two would be better but one will also be enough. For now."

The fisherman does not understand why he tells him that, why he tells him anything about his plans.

Then, he looks into the ironborn one living eye and he does not understand how he could have ever believed he would leave this ship alive after finally delivering good news.
