She's perceptive, that much is apparent, and observant, as well as quick-thinking. She's only been an official resident of the Red Keep for a short time and she's already figured it out things it takes some years to understand. No wonder Sansa approved of her so highly. It further confirms that he had selected well in his choice of queen.
He's also relieved at her assertion that she doesn't expect certain things from him, at least all the time. It helps knowing that there is a place and time that he can just be Jon, if he chooses; he doesn't have to wait for a member of his family to visit, he can be himself around her. Even when alone in his own bedchamber, he could have to don the mantle of a king at a moment's notice if something comes up requiring his immediate attention. Knowing there's a place where he doesn't have to carry that weight is a relief.
"Then in that case, you should definitely call me Jon."
