[Jon stares back at him, then gives a firm nod, then sighs.]

Thank you. It's a weight off. I can't tell you how completely ridiculous it sounded, but, well -- I couldn't tell Claire that. [Never, in a thousand years, would he ever tell Claire that something she had said to him sounded even a little ridiculous. Not wise words from a man who wants to stay married -- happily, at any rate. And in all honesty, this was the first thing he had ever really doubted. Might be that he had just misunderstood her, because he had been so happy to be showing her all the Starks in their crypt.] And then I began to wonder, what if they were right? It wouldn't be the first thing to happen here that sounded completely mad before I saw it myself.
