Still--as it is upon the foundation of this grudge that we have, in part, built our own happy alliance--I'll be sure to send letters of thanks to the Starks and to Daenerys Targaryen both, the moment I lay my hands upon some parchment and ink.

Which, speaking of--do you intend to continue to employ Mormont after all of this?
