Honestly, most of the lightness in Daenerys' life came from moments with Jon. She'd not thought about it so directly, but it was true: she couldn't really be the same sort of playful with any of the trueborn Starks, mostly it didn't bother her but she had never felt fully comfortable, with her position here being ambiguous at best. Jon, though, Jon she could trust and tease accordingly. Like now, not quite responding but managing to offer an almost cheeky little grin.
Winterfell had been the only home she'd known, it was true; it wasn't exactly home in the real sense, but it was close, and it was much more home than the city looming ahead of her. That was what burdened her the most, but in her way she knew she'd miss the North even if she didn't belong to it.
"I'm not sure, exactly," she admitted. "I'd want to be comfortable, of course, but I don't know that I'd need a lot of grandeur or high society. I'd like to be somewhere where it wouldn't matter who I was or where I'd come from." A little shrug. It wasn't a wild fantasy, but it was the closest she could get, and given the circumstances of her life still enough of one.
