Tyrion tracked with slow deliberation back up the hill, taking the longer way around on his way back towards the castle, his brow furrowed in thought. There was much on his mind, and he wanted the extra moments amidst the fresh air, to sift through his thoughts, before deciding on which ones, and how, he would share with his Queen.

The conversation with Jon Snow a few moments ago, has left him with many impressions. Jon wasn't a fool, despite his statement to the contrary. He had a purpose in coming here, important enough to risk his freedom and his life for. Tyrion knew that he was likely telling the truth, and when Jon told him about his need for DragonGlass, and requested to mine it on the Island, Tyrion was relieved that there was something he could bring to Daenerys as a sign of good-will to the King in the North, which she had no reason to refuse.

Save for her pride, perhaps.
Pride often keeps us oblivious to the obvious.
But then, he mused, up until a few minutes ago, he had been unsure himself

She didn't take to Jon Snow when she'd met him. If anything, he irked her greatly with his blunt refusal and resistance of acknowledging her as his Monarch. It stirred the fire in her, and she had been rather forceful with him in turn, with the result of only alienating Jon Snow further, nearly putting him off entirely from the possibility of an alliance of any kind.
It's a good thing they'd temporarily relieved the King in the North of his transportation, as he surely would have been gone by now if they had not. Which would be a shame in so many ways, Tyrion smirked as he toyed again with the budding idea in his mind.

Between the musings he'd had as he informed Daenerys of what sort of man Jon Snow was, and what he'd observed of him since his arrival on Dragonstone, Tyrion was now convinced that Jon had all the qualifications to make for a good King.
Save for his lack of a Queen.

It wasn't until a handful of minutes ago, when he'd told Jon that Daenerys protected people from monsters, just as he did, that the idea solidified in his mind.

Those two would make for an excellent match, in every sense of the word. They were just too busy pouting, to see it.

Tyrion also knew, that though Daenerys had been prepared since before leaving Meereen for the possibility of a marriage alliance for political reasons, and Jon was the type to sacrifice his personal considerations for the good of his cause and his Kingdom, neither was considering the possibility of a union between them, nor would be open to it so early on, given their rough beginning.

Encouraging Jon, to seek out her loyal subjects' opinions of the Queen, was an excellent first step. He'd have to suggest something similar, to Daenerys as well, he smirked.
They do not know each other yet, only having met that morning. He'd need to help remedy that.


We got ourselves a sneaky matchmaker!
Wouldn't Tyrion make a great one, with his talent for subtle intrigue?! ;)

I've decided to stick with introspective Show-Canon filler for now. But, we'll see what the muses suggest as we go.

Thank you all SO much for the reviews, liked and Faves. As a new writer, it's been almost overwhelmingly encouraging, and so appreciated.
I still own nothing, but the gratitude in my heart, and the fun I'm having puppeteering these characters in accordance with my whims. Mwahaha
