He speaks with Sam, Sam &Aemon are being sent South as well while he repeats a mantra inspired by Aemon
He commands Slynt to Greyguard where wildlings climbed the Wall. Slynt refuses. Jon takes his head.

5feet.of.fury I really don‘t know what I thought could have been achieved with this chapter, but I expected more than this. 2d
majkia Well, rehashing events that have already happened and explaining about the switch of the babies in case someone missed that, I guess. 2d

5feet.of.fury @majkia when we found out about the babies I was like “I‘m sure Jon has some plan to protect the baby, or some reason he felt forced” but clearly he does not, he did it because Maester Aemon told him to “let the man be born” …that wasn‘t really enough for me lol 2d
majkia @5feet.of.fury He was taking away Stannis's opportunity to burn someone with royal blood. Mance, the baby's father, apparently would be considered royal. 2d
5feet.of.fury @majkia I know but if they think Gilly‘s baby is Mance‘s baby… it doesn‘t stop Melisandre 🫤 I am CONCERNED 2d
BethM @5feet.of.fury his little speech to Gilly made me feel like he‘ll be all gotcha! If they try to burn the kid. Also the kid is sickly, it may not live anyway. I for one was cheering at the end of this chapter. Off with his head! 1d
Sargar114 @BethM the end was great! And it honored Ned in a way, so I was good with it. The rehashing of the convo with Sam seemed unnecessary but I‘m glad we got the conversation with Gilly even though we already knew what happened, at least it was different. @5feet.of.fury I think the idea is Jon will let em know it‘s not Mance‘s kid by the time it gets to the burning part 🤷🏼‍♀️ 1d
5feet.of.fury @majkia @BethM @Sargar114 I don‘t know what else I wanted to happen honestly. Did love that last part though. 1d

They bicker over how to address the Harpy. Hizdar enters to request the fighting pits be reopened, the city would get a tax payment but she declines
Townspeople come seeking justice for crimes committed. Finding a fair restitution is difficult. Others come blaming the dragons for deaths of their livestock with burnt bones, but 1 has the bones of a child

majkia I confess I dread her chapters as I find them boring. 7d
5feet.of.fury @majkia I don‘t mind them but the whole slew of side characters around her …I could do without 7d
BethM @majkia @5feet.of.fury yeah I don‘t need pages about petitions. A lot of dry fluff in this chapter. 6d
