“That’s pretty.” He remembered Sansa telling him once that he should say that whenever a lady told him her name.

“Sansa, what do girls like?”
Sansa paused in her sewing to look at Jon Snow. “What do you mean?”
Flushing, Jon tried to keep himself from stuttering. “I mean, if I… if I want to talk to a girl, what should I do?”
A look of delight lit up Sansa’s eyes. “You like someone!” She leaned closer and asked in a conspiratorial whisper, “Who is it? I promise I won’t tell.“
Jon’s face burned and he was sure he was turning as red as Sansa’s hair. “I-I don’t know her name yet.”
“Oh. Then you should ask for her name first.”
Jon nodded, waiting for her to continue.
“And when a lady gives you her name, you must tell her how pretty it is,” she said sagely.
Jon furrowed his brows, taking in her words. “Do girls like that?”
“Yes we do. I know I would like it if someone said something like that to me.
“Well,” said Jon quietly, without thinking.“ You do have a very pretty name.”
The radiant smile that Sansa gave him then made the lesson stick to Jon more than anything else.
Sky Atlantic is NOT up for J*nerys. And yep, that’s the same Sky Atlantic that had Jonsa Hug™ on a giant billboard with “What do you love?” engraved under a heart.
