You don't know the half of it, Great Uncle-Grandpa.
House Baratheon has been the cause of so much misery. Robert was both responsible for the death of Jon's parents and the reason why he was lied to all his life. His obsession with Lyanna Stark drove her to wed Rhaegar in secret and give birth in a secluded location where the was no maester to prevent her from bleeding out, all while using a false narrative he applied to a situation he hadn't bothered to properly investigate to give him reason to kill his cousin on the Trident.
If Robert had known who Jon really was, he would have him killed.
"A Targaryen alone in the world is a terrible thing," Jon says, echoing the words Maester Aemon spoke to him all those years ago. Words that now rang truer than ever. "Aye, there is no comfort, but at least I know now who I am. Why I always felt so out of place."
Why Ned Stark refused to speak of his mother or the circumstances of his birth. The man had risked everything to both keep him safe and make sure that he was loved.
"A kite? A dragon is not a toy."
Even with as new as he is to dragon riding, even he understands that with great power comes great responsibility that bonding with a dragon is not something to be taken lightly, that the power that comes with it should not be abused.
