After being told that in fact, Joffrey who was the Hand. Rickon would apologize to whomever corrected his mistakes and absentmindedly wonder aloud why all those names sound alike.
"Have fun storming the castle!" He would shout as she went away.
Jon was in luxurious quarters, because he was, quite frankly, one of the most important men in the Seven Kingdoms.
Rickon wasn't used to such luxurious quarters. His were most spartan in nature, given the Stark mentality and all that.
Jon walked over and embraced Rickon. "It is good, you're right."
He returned the hug.
"I can imagine." Jon conceded.
"So... I heard about your recent adventures, the talk of the realm it is. The Showdown at King's Landing."
"Then we are agreed. We should hold a feast later, as important agreements are celebrated here in that way."
"That was nothing, what cones next will be worth speaking of."
"Huh? What would that be?" He asked. "I think we don't have another enemy to fight, do we?"
"We're going to cleanse the Realm of the rot that lies at it's heart. The prostitutes and adulterers, the impious and the corrupt, Cousin Joffrey and I both agree that now is the time to wash such things away and make the Realm a godly place again."
"You should talk about this with our new queen." Rickon suggested.
"It will be obvious what it is once it has been made."
"Yeahhhh..... about that...." Rickon started. It would have been difficult for an observer to figure out who was the older brother at this point.
"You're welcome to think that though I stand by what I said and had the city not fallen as quickly as it had, rest assured that I would have carried out that threat without remorse. As it is, I shall have to settle for scrubbing the traitor's name from the annals of history and seeing to it that his line never so much as holds sway over a tavern ever again let alone a lordship."
"Well, If that is how you feel about it, I shall respect it. I just really hope you never have the need to do that." He said, in search for some common ground. In truth, Rickon found that killing woman and children was something so horrible, very few would come back to the light once having done so.
"Perhaps...but most likely if I ever must do so, it will be Clansmen and they are little better than animals so there will be no moral qualms about it." Jon remarked. "They are really only a step below traitors like the ones we killed here which says a great deal about them."
