Daenerys... the word of a murdering witch doesn't mean your family line is ending.
[Their conversation about her family, her barrenness, is another thing she doesn't remember. It was a few days before his own memories of home run out, the day they were in King's Landing, a place he'd never been and never thought to go to.
She pulls away from him, and he notices how she waits until her back is turned to wipe her eyes.
He's not sure what he's lost. Some of their rapport, certainly, which twists at him in a way that makes him wonder if he was mistaken about her at home -- if she'll close the door of her cabin in his face if he comes to her. Or it may only be that she hasn't yet experienced the moments that made him sure of her.
It's also true that Ghost would be very useful to him here, but is unimaginably further away, further even than if he were north of the Wall.
Apart from those things... it seems from her experience that they'll still be able to fight the Dead when their term with COST is over, and that his being here may not doom his family or the North or anyone else.]
Interrogating the Commander isn't a bad idea, but she holds the power here. It may be that she'll give the information freely, in time... she may not be our friend, but it may not follow that she's our enemy, either.
