[Help yourself, bro. Just don't take the last one. Jerk.]
See, if you just gave all your little under-commanderlings a little pat on the head or butt or whatever you guys do on 'The Wall' and some nachos and pizza? You'd win whatever war you have out of them just wanting more of what you got. Totally true.
Half of them want me dead, I scarcely think patting their heads or their arses would do me much good. [Pizza might have some merit, though... don't mind Jon just mentally filing that away for later.]
I don't sleep with it. [He just uses his direwolf as a pillow. And keeps the sword at his bedside.] It's Valyrian steel. [Read: completely priceless. Just ask House Lannister, they tried to buy one for decades but not even the poorest houses would sell.] I'm not going to just leave it lying about in someone else's castle.
Your security blanket. Your teddy bear. Your thing you can't not have with you or you get sad. Seriously. I've never seen you without it, even in the castle.
[All the best swords have names Stiles!! What kind of chump sword do you think Jon has?]
You're not really having trouble sleeping, are you? [Jon sleeps like the actual dead when he has time for it, the idea of not being able to for months on end is awful.]
Oh, doesn't matter. That's a yes, then. [Damnit Stiles!] Surely you can find some pillow that would suit. Might be the fairies could make one to your liking if you'd stop slapping them about for a bit.
No, because it's a hand-and-a-half sword and the blade of House Mormont: they've a bear for their sigil. [That makes sense, right? That's not a stupid explanation, right? Bears... claws... longer than standard sword... Right.]

You never know. You'd be surprised at how easily we're manipulated. We're men. We're not that complicated.
no subject
[You know nothing, Jon Snow.]
no subject
Sure you're not, buddy. Sure you're not.
[He so was.]
no subject
You're bloody impossible, you know that?
no subject
[He moved a little closer to the table so he could get a look at the paw, seeing if it was working like it should on her.]
no subject
What's my sword got to do with it?
no subject
Considering I'm pretty sure you sleep with that thing? What doesn't it have to do with it?

no subject
Dude, it's your binky.
no subject
[He has no idea what that is, but it just sounds insulting.]
no subject
Jon has a binky.
no subject
Last time I went to a feast I near got killed. I'm not looking to be anywhere without it.
no subject
Fair enough. But it's still your binky. Hey, no judging. I bring my staff everywhere.
[He also called his staff Lola, so...]
no subject
It's practical! [You say no judging but Jon can hear you judging.] Aye, I've not heard you call that your binky.
no subject
Because it's not. It's Lola. My binky's my pillow, which I don't have here. I haven't slept well without it.
[Woe is him, Jon. Feel so bad for him now. He has no pillow.]
no subject
no subject
[He shrugged, moving to go sit down now that the pup had finished the milk and looked to be healed up nicely.]
Better things to wish for. I've had a lot going on and a good night's sleep just hasn't really been my number one priority.

no subject
[He was chuckling as he sat down, legs stretching out as he got comfortable.]
Doesn't matter.
[He was pretty much used to crappy sleep by now.]
no subject
Oh, doesn't matter. That's a yes, then. [Damnit Stiles!] Surely you can find some pillow that would suit. Might be the fairies could make one to your liking if you'd stop slapping them about for a bit.
no subject
Longclaw. Right. Because you stab people with it. Got it.
Hey, I don't slap fairies. I shoo the perverts. And it's not the same. It has to be my pillow.
no subject
No, because it's a hand-and-a-half sword and the blade of House Mormont: they've a bear for their sigil. [That makes sense, right? That's not a stupid explanation, right? Bears... claws... longer than standard sword... Right.]
Why's that, exactly? What's your pillow like?
no subject
[Jon, your world was so weird and your names were weird. That's all there was to it. Clearly you needed to come home with him.]
It's mine.
[And that was all the explanation needed. It was his and it was just firm enough and just soft enough and just cool enough.]
