[Tyrion, Varys and Davos observe more Northerners arriving at Winterfell]

Varys:
The Karstarks.

Tyrion Lannister:
One of the better sigils. Beats an onion, anyway.

Davos Seaworth:
Can't argue with that. [they walk away] Not so long ago, the Starks and the Karstarks were slaughtering each other on the battlefield. Jon Snow brought peace to their Houses-

Tyrion Lannister:
And our Queen is grateful.

Davos Seaworth:
Her gratitude is lovely, but that's not my point. The Northmen are loyal to Jon Snow, not to her. They don't know her. The Free Folk don't know her. I've been up here a while, and I'm telling you, they're stubborn as goats. You want their loyalty? You have to earn it.

Tyrion Lannister:
I sense that you're leading to a proposal.

Davos Seaworth:
A proposal is what I'm proposing. On the off-chance that we survive the Night King...what if the Seven Kingdoms, for once in their whole shit history, were ruled by a just woman, and an honorable man?

[Tyrion and Varys follow his gaze to Jon and Daenerys, who are talking together arm-in-arm.]

Tyrion Lannister:
They do make a handsome couple.

Varys:
You overestimate our influence. Jon and Daenerys don't want to listen to lonely old men.

Tyrion Lannister:
I'm not that old. [glances at Davos] Well, I'm not as old as him. [Davos smirks] Our Queen respects the wisdom of age.

Varys:
Of course she does. Respect is how the young keep us at a distance, so we don't remind them of an unpleasant truth.

Tyrion Lannister:
What is that?

Varys:
... Nothing lasts.
