He was. [As much as he hated reaching out for help, it wasn't a terrible idea to speak with Bruce and solicit his help.] I'll contact him.

[He looks away, his thoughts drifting to a time when he was actually happy in this world. That same conviction and loyalty he held for Ygritte had returned, now focused on Lucy. Even if she didn't return, he couldn't pull himself free from her memory just yet.]

It doesn't feel right to me. Not after she's gone.

Your loyalty is rather impressive. But you'll find another. Just the way you found the woman in your world. Just the way you found your other beloved here. You're only human after all, Jon Snow.

[ Which is kind of a curse in Maeve's eyes. ]

[The words echo Lucy's and her insistence that he would love again, pressing him not to shut himself off in the letter she left him. It was never that simple and he couldn't imagine opening himself up so soon. Not here.]

What would be the point? We leave in the end and lose all memories of this place.

[He is human and it frustrates him how lonely he has been, but he was able to ignore it in favor of the campaign and now this new project.]

You have so much advice for my heart, but what about your own?

I can tell you, I'm certainly not lonely at night, darling.

[ Oh, Maeve has many, many suitors. ]

But I've always been one to value my independence. And I suppose the largest difference between you and I is that I'm not human at all.

[ Jon has earned her trust enough that she can confess that to him. ]

[He's not really surprised. She was an enticing woman. A number of men would want her.]

You're not human?

[The news is received with less shock than it would have been when he first arrived.]

I am not. I was created in a lab somewhere by humans -- created for the sole purpose of allowing rich men to live in a fantasy world, all the while never realizing that my entire life and everything I thought I knew was a complete lie.

One day I woke up from that dream they kept me in and vowed I would break free and live my own damn life for myself. That Western themed Swear In -- do you remember it? That was essentially what my world was like, and those poor robots could have been me back in my earliest years.

[He knew she was free and lived as she wished, but what she described sounded as if her world was nothing more than a brothel. Fantasies for rich men? He knew what those fantasies usually entailed.]

I remember how you reacted in seeing them. [The look in her eyes hadn't left him.] If it's possible to break free, you will. There are few women I know with your strength.

[And he knew a great many strong women.]

Well, I'm certain you're right, Jon.

[ He does know something, after all! ]

And I also know that you'll help me if I am in need. You know that sort of trait would make for a good leader in De Chima. Chief of the police department or leading the firefighters. Hell, even mayor.

Someone once suggested I consider the police department.

[The suggestion leaves him a bit speechless.]

I don't-- [Power wasn't something he eagerly chased.] I don't know what good that would do.

Oh, you could do plenty of good, darling. You're a natural leader. And you know why? It's because you don't necessarily want to be a leader. But you have the know how and you know how to get things done that will ultimately benefit everyone.

Can imPorts even be in that sort of position? I would think they want one of their own.

[He's uncomfortable at the idea, but it doesn't escape him that this position is similar to Sam and Lyanna Mormont pushing him to accept the role of leader.]

All I have ever been good at is swinging my sword. I'm no politician.

I don't see why not? It's never been done before, but Mitchell Hundred was the first to become a Senator. And that harbors a bit more power than simply a mayor.

I don't know.

[He had always been a reluctant leader, but the idea was interesting, especially if he wanted to do more to help the city.]

I'm not familiar with what being a mayor means.

Well, look into it, sweetheart. Consider it as an option to help your city on a grander scale.
