The surface of BASE may be unfamiliar, but it doesn't take long -- a few days at most -- for Jon to begin to realize that in its bones, it's a lot like Castle Black. Everything around them speaks of a military organization with stretched resources. The little machines are like builders and stewards and maesters, and he suspects they eat much less than sworn brothers do. And he can see evidence everywhere of attempts to keep everything in good working order and to reuse anything that can be reused.

As such, in spite of those surface differences, he begins to feel more at home.

There was a level of certainty to Jon's expressions of exclusion that Chiron found, well, sad, in truth. It wasn't the kind of thing to say outloud, but there was no doubt to him that this was not a new thing either.

His attention turned to the stone direwolf again, the word him finally smacking Chiron upside the head. It did seem obvious, didn't it? That was likely some manifestation of Jon's father.

Rather than ask for clarification on that point, he follows another instead. "Why would the emphasis be on the older kings?"

When the matter of himself comes up, Chiron's far warmer. Happier to explain.

"It has nothing to do with them," he said. "Mages back home conduct various rituals. In one, they summon spirits of heroes from myth and from history to act as champions in their stead. I was called forth to that ritual. COST intercepted me from there."
