To take back what is mine, Rhaenys thinks, but she doesn't give voice to the words. Instead she frowns at Jon, mulling over what he's said for a moment. A threat to all of Westeros... and, more importantly: Daenerys. Her aunt.

Their aunt. Not that either of them, any of them, know.

"And she has agreed to fight the Lannister woman?" Because that's all she's aware of, that the threat is Cersei.

"She's doing that anyway. It's why she came to Westeros." To make her own claim on the throne, a better claim to it than Cersei has. The only reason Cersei still has the throne is because she refuses to give it up. She has no legal right to it otherwise. "It's a threat from the north. The reason the Wall was built in the first place, and the Night's Watch founded. If this threat takes over the seven kingdoms, it won't matter who wins the war."

i remembered this as i was looking for your open post, so have a surprise tag c:

"You cannot mean..." Rhaenys can't even bring herself to say it, but she's heard stories of those meant to be kept beyond the Wall. Nothing more than rumors, of course, and fishwife gossip and pirate tall tales, yet there have been stories all the same. Of creatures that might as well be myth, each story different and more incredulous than the last.

She shivers, though whether it's the thought of the White Walkers or merely the chill in the air, she doesn't make it easy to tell. Or at least until she tries to find something to wrap around herself, and finds none in hand.

surprise tags are the best tags

"Wights." An army of the dead, and therefore nearly impossible to defeat. Which is what brings him here. Defeating them will require weapons made from a material that is only available here. "You've heard of them? Most don't believe the stories."

He unties his fur-lined cloak and offers it to her. They won't be outside for much longer. He can do without it. Besides, he's used to deeper cold than this.
