"The Old Gods that I spoke of -- they simply are. They are part of the world, in every tree and rock and river. They were the gods of the Children of the Forest." A pause, and he adds, "My people, my father's people, we're called the First Men. Crossed from Essos long ago, before there were any people in Westeros. But the Children were there first, and were not the same as men. Smaller. They've been gone a long time now.
"None of that matters here, I know, but what I mean is, their gods still live, and they are part of the world. But they are silent. I've never heard from them the way the Singularity tries to tell us things from time to time. Who does it speak to more?"
As he talks, Ghost begins to chase a leosylph some distance away. For the time being, the creatures appear playful. And because Ghost is only a part of Jon's mind and what the Singularity will let him do, Ghost will remain playful, making no move to tear at the other animal.
