"Among other things." Things she may one day hear about. Things that have left scars that she will notice, one day soon. He's heard the stories about himself, which had spread like wildfire, and as far as he can tell, they're all completely true. There's no exaggeration, but there doesn't need to be. He wouldn't believe the stories if he hadn't lived them himself.
And the songs, of course. It had taken mere days for the bards to write them and share them all across Westeros, from Dorne to the river areas in the north. Sansa had even sent him a raven to tell him that they've made their way to Winterfell, too. The North might be an independent kingdom now, but he and Sansa have agreed to an alliance between the two realms.
At her last statement, he turns to her with a look of surprise. No woman in Westeros -- at least none outside of Littlefinger's brothels or King's Landing's slums -- would broach the subject that boldly. It makes him think of Ygritte, the first woman he'd known who had made it clear what she wanted. He had noticed, from his first interaction with Selene, that she had that boldness in her, and that had now led to this moment, where they will soon be married. He hopes that he continues to discover things about her that are unexpected.
