      Great chapter. Seeing Jon actually makes moves towards improving in things and having actual ambition is always great to see. Tormund as squire is really interesting as well and if he lives long enough he’ll probably always add some levity to the fic.

      Very cool chapter. I like this depiction of Aemon. And the LC was right. Aemon would have made a better king.

      Jon being made to cool his heels by the LC was typical, as was Jon turning it around and turning it into a training opportunity.

      Tormund wanting to be a knight and a lord reminds me of a less mercenary version of Bronn.

        Less mercenary than bronn is like being less wet than water

      Thanks for the chapter!

      I liked this less burdened and more carefree version of Aemon, the introduction letter will be helpful and I wonder if he will send a raven to Aegon to give him a heads up. Looks like Tormund is now all in on becoming a knight and earning a lordship.

      And it seems like Jon knows Osric Wull and the playfulness/banter makes me wonder how well. And from how he addressed Jon, he may also have known Bloodraven.

      Great chapter. I’m so glad that Jon has a direwolf and that you didn’t get rid of him. I’m excited to see reactions from people of the North and South when they see Jon and Shadow. I liked the Aemon pov even though we’ll probably not hear from him for a while. I’ve been looking forward to Jon finally being in the South this entire time. Can’t wait!
