A part of him wondered if Claire's husband was Fergus' father, but it wasn't his place to ask such questions and not all experiences were his own. However much he had come to terms with being a bastard, there was still a part of him that dreaded and feared hearing that his mother might have been some whore in a brothel. Whatever the truth was, he had tried to imagine her as a highborn lady, someone similar to Claire in appearance and manner. Though those images must have merged since meeting her and living under Claire's care.
"Did he marry well?" It was always touch and go for bastards. Some were acknowledged and allowed high born marriages, while others were a stain on their father's family and hurriedly sent away, left to make poor marriages or lives for themselves. And others, like Gendry, were forgotten or unknown.
It was surreal to hear someone say that about a bastard. It left him stupefied and uncertain how to respond. "You have a knack for caring for children that aren't your own." Meaning him and Sansa, a clumsy compliment.
