[[Oh it's no worry, I just know sometimes people would rather be told so they can fix, so just in case.]]
Daenerys did not consider herself vain or particularly attention-seeking, but she did treasure the compliments she was given, especially by Jon. Sure, she believed that there was at least some sincerity in the way that Rickon would praise how she read him a story or Sansa would say something about how nicely she'd done up her silver-blonde hair, but Jon's kind words always meant more, felt realer somehow.
Once he had wrapped an arm around her, though, all bets were off. She rather collapsed against him, sighing and very carefully not crying but certainly sniffling.
"I know, I know you would," she murmured, because it was true. It seemed silly to complain of what amounted to a gilded cage when what suddenly stood before Jon was so much harsher, but she couldn't help it, it all came spilling from her lips. "I suppose it could be worse, I could have spent my whole life there like some sort of pet, but what other purpose would they have for me?"
