If Jon knew the truth — the real truth — about the way Bran went about warging, he would be horrified. Seizing control of the minds of the unwilling, from animals to people without so much as a care for what becomes of them in the aftermath or as a result of the actions committed while in control of their minds. What happened to Hodor...

It's good that he doesn't know, that he doesn't have to add looking at his brother like a potential problem on top of everything else.

Daemon, after all, does have a point. Happiness and Jon haven't really gone hand in hand.

Jon lies back, staring up at the sky as his ancestor sees to his wounds. "Before the dragon, I had no idea who I was. Safe in the lie of being a bastard, but miserable in the role I was set up to play in order to stay safe. I did what I thought was expected of me, what I was able to accomplish as a living mar upon my father's honor. But he wasn't my father and I was never a bastard. There was a reason I always felt out of place, but that wasn't it."
