[jon takes a lot of exception to that first remark, considering what he's just learned about his ancestry. in his head he writes some fairly self-incriminating responses concerning his grandfather the mad king roasting his stark grandfather alive in a suit of armor but of course he doesn't send them.]
I'm not fixated.
[watching someone you believed at the time to be a friend and mentor burn half to death before personally putting them out of their misery is bound to leave an impression, especially when you are barely 20. but jon meant his first comment as a half-jest; it's irritating to have it taken seriously, and in detriment to his character (anyone of targaryen blood, legitimate or not, was bound to take something like that as a personal insult).]
[People being burned alive isn't a normal topic of conversation, yet Jon has mentioned it in half their conversations. Perhaps he's merely seen it often (though Anduin hopes not), but it strikes him as weird and rather morbid.]
[The fact that he's still somewhat annoyed by the original accusation wars with his awareness that he had technically accepted Jon's apology. But in the end, Anduin reminds himself that he doesn't believe in acting out of anger - too many mistakes are made that way.]
Then I apologize. It's difficult to tell how to take things over these devices.
