It had been a contentious topic at first, but Jon would not budge to their children's whims. Initially, it had stemmed from Jon's refusal to grant toddlers dragon eggs, but as they grew, he was just as reluctant. As Argerlla and Lyarra were going to marry outside the family, gifting them a dragon was unwise. After years of mulling, Jon and Shireen decided that spreading the dragons amongst his many sons would be just as thoughtless in the long run. The fresh, living dragon eggs were in the Dragon Spire itself, where only Shireen and Jon could enter for now. Though their decision was met with much protest from their children, they could only accept it in the end - even Rickon did not have a hatchling.
