But after Daenerys's abduction and return, and Jon's conversation with Kebechet, there had been some mild satisfaction to fighting the Regency troops. The outcome, in the long term, might be good, might be bad, he doesn't know. But it was like he'd been told: someone's children were a threat to the Regency, and the Regency had tried to keep them from ever being born.
"You need to eat and sleep. We'll stay here for a few days, until you have your strength back."
Something like this had happened to him before, when he made his way back to Castle Black as fast as he could with three arrows in him. She's not wounded like that, but even so, it will take more than an afternoon for her to recover.
