Re: The Stone Cold Lock on Jon!

I think maybe Tysha that the line about Jon (blue flower, wall of ice, sweetness) is more like describing the fact that he is in full "bloom" as it were at a time when the Others are descending upon the north.

Ive always assumed that Ned counselled his two elder "progeny" equally. With Robb being an undeniable master of battle beyond his years, I assume Jon is similar. It just occured to me that Robb was a foreshadowing of Jon. He is the harbinger of what Jon can be. Their arcs are suprisingly similar in terms of leading men, violating their oaths, and whatnot....just Jons education was harder and not quite as deadly.

The one omission on Danys resume is battle command and experience at waging a campaign. I think it will be Jon who swears fealty to Dany at some point in order to fulfill the greater part of his duty to Westeros and she in turn will be relying on him to lead her troops. They could even be allied like this without ever knowing Jons true parentage.
