What was going on with Rhaegal? Did Jon really abandon a live dragon to hit the streets? Was Rhaegal meant to be concussed or something, or did Jon think he’d be faster... on... foot...?
ETA - I guess it was necessary for the contrast of Jon’s final, futile, race to the godswood, weighed against Arya’s sudden arrival, that he not have a dragon at his side. But you’ve all told me for years now that he’s the ultimate snow clown and I’m sorry to say I never fully realized it until now.
