Summary: Jon's arrival at Dragonstone hasn't been as hopeful as expected.

Jon stood there and let the sea breeze whip around his head and his cloak.

He'd never seen the coast before, and had never imagined he would, not once he'd consigned himself to the Night's Watch. It was more rugged and beautiful than expected.

Standing here now should have felt enlivening, but instead it felt heavy with doubt and uncertainty. He'd come here to seek aid for his people, but just like the waves that crashed against Dragonstone's rocky cliffs, his words had found no impact. It's queen and ruler was equally beautiful and rugged. He'd find no alliance here.
