Hm, did you mean for everything to be centered?

"What's the point of this?" Jorah asked, tearing the rabbit's pelt off the meat. "Apart from showing off that your lord father could afford a competent geography tutor?"

*rolls eyes*
Don’t be hating :P

A dwarf as clever as this one had so far indicated himself to be couldn't possibly be foolish enough to attempt an escape into the forest by night

He may, if he felt it would better benefit his self-preservation.

"Can't be a very good view, considering your height."

I know he’s bantering, but poor Tyrion. Like he hasn’t heard something like that before.

"The first is to get Daenerys an army,"

A very good option.

I truly like the second one best. If he got back the eggs…

And pretty soon everyone in Westeros will be kin, so there will be no need for war, or the gods will smite everyone for the abomination of incest.

*laughs* Oh I love that. It’s so Tyrion.

"I'd stick with being surly and gruff, if I were you. It obviously wasn't your sense of humor that won the heart ( ... )

Tyrion shines in your fics. Is this fair to Jorah? ;)

Hee! That, my dear, is quite the compliment. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I'm glad you continue to enjoy...and you'll find out what's in store for Jorah and Tyrion!

"I hear Lannisters have shit for honor."

"And gold for shit." Tyrion's bulging brow furrowed. "No, wait, that was only my lord father, and as it happened, he only shat shit. Bugger."

Hee! Tyrion would win an Emmy and a Golden Globe in your fic too. :D

"Still." Tyrion set his empty bowl on the ground and sucked the juices off each of his stunted fingers in turn. "It's quite an elegant little plan. A delicate and intricately woven web. As one would expect of the Spider. And to think, Ser Jorah," he said, sliding off the front of the log to lean back against it on his elbows, "you are the man who unraveled it."

Jorah stared hard at the darkening logs amid the glowing embers of the fire. "Or the fly who got caught in it."Straight from the books! It's fun to watch Tyrion and Jorah interact (you know, with Jorah speaking and not just a sullen mess), because they're very different with different skill sets, and yet, they could be quite a fearsome duo with a common goal ( ... )

Best comment ever! I'll treat it like my Emmy or Golden Globe.

they're very different with different skill sets, and yet, they could be quite a fearsome duo with a common goal.

And Jorah, while having been a part of a master scheme to ensnare Dany, does strike me as a character that goes from one web to another, constantly getting stuck. He's not a man who makes webs.

Jorah's an interesting mix of being really clever and resourceful on his own, but there are still those he can't quite keep up with there. He just wants home and sex, and the people who want power and influence unfortunately have manipulated that. He does just find himself drifting from one bad situation to another. That said, with Tyrion's brains, I think Dany actually has a shot at the Iron throne with those two counciling her. We shall see!

Jorah and I could get along marvelously. ;)

I think she certainly would!

Ahhhhh so I really love your Tyrion in this, and of course your Jorah. Your Tyrion's just SUCH A DICK, which is just so fucking perfect. And I just have to ask, are you actually this witty in real life?. Because, if so, damn you must be entertaining to be around.

Oh goodness, I don't know if I'm this witty outside of fiction or not, but I do like making people laugh. Hopefully I'm not quite the dick Tyrion is. ;) Thanks so much, though, my dear. I'm so happy you think Tyrion's on here!

All throughout ADWD, I waited for Jorah and Tyrion to become buddies, because can't just see the snarky banter those two could have? And now you go and write this perfect Jorah/Tyrion bromance that has all the snarky, witty banter, Tyrion giving sound advice on how to win Dany back, Tyrion calling Jorah his friend and Jorah not correcting him, and it almost makes me forget that Dany and Jorah are in a bad place right now and I don't want my babies fighting (wow, that sentence got away from me a bit).

"I suppose since the Dothraki don't believe in money, that a khalasar isn't where whores go."
LOL!!! Best one yet!

"It is good you have come, Jorah the Andal," said Khal Jhogo. "We ride to find the khaleesi and the Stallion Who Mounts the World. We ride to make war on Westeros."
Evil cliffhanger is evil ;)

I know, right? That's not just our imaginations, is it? They could totally be a sort of odd couple. Hopefully we'll see more of that kind of rapport between them in book 6!

Sorry about the evil cliffie this time, but I'm glad to know this one distracted you from the Dany/Jorah bad times.

Thanks so much my dear for reading and commenting!

Things I loved about chapters 24/25

x Rhaego missing daddy Jorah :(

x Dany thinking of Jorah all the way through the chapter even though she “forbade” herself to do it.

x The fact that she's mostly hurt because he “lied” to her about she being his real home. Dany... you ARE his HOME. Don't you see? He chose YOU over Bear Island. Open your eyes, woman!

x TYRION.TYRION.TYRION.TYRION.TYRION.TYRION.

x Tyrion's words hurting just as much as Jorah's fists do.

x The way they start getting along with each other, joking all the time and becoming friends. BEST-BROMANCE-EVER.

x Tyrion giving Jorah advice on how to get Dany back. I consider Jorah a smart person but when it comes to keeping the ones he loves near him, he's always screwing things up; it's a good thing Tyrion's preventing Jorah from doing stupid things (GUH, I LOVE HIM AND HIS EXTRAORDINARY BRAIN)

x I just had to quote this:

"Do you know him?"
"One of his close kin. Brother, most likely. I took off his head as Daenerys and I made our escape."
"You have such a way with ( ... )

This? Is an awesome review, and I so appreciate you coming back to comment. Especially squeeful that you like Tyrion and the Tyrion/Jorah bromance. I know it's quite the departure for how things go with them in canon, but for some reason I can just imagine them having this kind of snarky repartee...I guess a bit like Tyrion and Bronn, only with Jorah's special flair. ;)

I hope you like where things continue to go. Thanks so much, babe!
