Kit Harington has revealed what his favorite Game of Thrones scene with wife Rose Leslie is—and we absolutely did not see this answer coming. The pair, who played on-screen couple Jon Snow and Ygritte, had plenty of memorable moments together, but the actor’s favorite scene together was somewhat surprising, to say the least.

“I liked her death. I know, it sounds bizarre. I thought she nailed that. And it’s the first time in Thrones that slow motion was used, and I think it’s a beautiful, cradling moment as this battle is raging in the background. It was one of those incredible shots,” he told People.

In the scene, which takes places during the show’s Season 4 penultimate episode, titled “The Watchers on the Wall,” Leslie’s character Ygritte and the wildlings attack Castle Black in an epic battle. But when she encounters Jon—a.k.a. the love of her life—she hesitates to shoot him and is shot in the back by a little boy named Olly, whose father she killed in an earlier episode.

Jon rushes to hold Ygritte during her last moments, in which she asks him if he remembers the cave they first made love. She says she wishes they could have stayed in that cave forever, and when Jon insists they’ll return one day, she iconically replies, “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”

It was a sad episode for fans who had hoped Jon and Ygritte would be together despite their differences. However, the fact that they fell in love on set and later got married in real life was enough to get us through the TV heartbreak.

As for whether we’ll ever see the two together on screen again, Harington said it’s very unlikely. “The saddest thing is that we may never be cast again together because we’re too synonymous with Thrones,” he explained. “It’s gonna be hard to get away from that. I’d love to work with Rose, but we’re married, and we played these lovers, so are we ever going to get to do that?”

New episodes of the final season of Game of Thrones air on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
