Gilly continues to wear an old cloak given to her by Samwell when they fled Craster's Keep.{{Ref|AFFC|5}} Even after giving birth, she retains a slim figure.{{Ref|AFFC|5}} Gilly continues to breastfeed her own son as well as [[Aemon Steelsong|Dalla's boy]].{{ref|AFFC|5}}

Gilly leaves the chambers of Jon, the new Lord Commander in tears. Jon tells Sam that Val had sent Gilly to plead for [[Mance Rayder]]'s life. Jon tells Samwell that he is sending Gilly and her son away, and that Samwell is to accompany them, together with [[Dareon]] and Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], to [[Oldtown]]. As Gilly departs the next morning, he swears to her that he will find a [[wet nurse]] for the remaining child, and promises not to name the boy until he reaches the age of two as per [[wildling]] tradition.{{Ref|AFFC|5}}

Gilly and her companions board the ''[[Blackbird]]'' at [[Eastwatch-by-the-Sea]], bound for [[Braavos]]. For much of the journey Gilly is overcome with grief.{{Ref|AFFC|15}}{{Ref|AFFC|26}} Although he is blind, Maester Aemon is the only one to realize that Gilly's tears are not out of fear of the journey, but out of grief of losing her child, and he horrifies Samwell with the revelation that Jon switched the two babes to prevent [[Melisandre]] from [[blood sacrifice|burning]] Dalla's boy.{{Ref|AFFC|15}}

Gilly once gets lost while trying to find water at one of the public fountains of Braavos, being frightened by her surroundings and the strangers in the city. Samwell eventually finds her weeping beneath the statue of a long-dead [[Sealord]].{{Ref|AFFC|26}}

Gilly, Samwell, Aemon, and the babe eventually board the ''[[Cinnamon Wind]]'' and leave Braavos. Gilly starts to give her grief a place,{{Ref|AFFC|35}} and she comes to love Dalla's child as much as she loves her own.{{Ref|AFFC|45}}

Aemon dies during their journey; the night before his death, he asks Gilly if he can hold the babe and she complies, although she is afraid the old man will drop the child. Gilly is present on deck with Samwell during Aemon's funeral service, and when Samwell comments on Jon's decision to send the ancient maester on a journey by sea, Gilly tells him that Aemon's king's blood endangered his safety at Castle Black, and that Jon had sent Aemon and Dalla's babe away to save them.{{Ref|AFFC|35}} She also says they could name Dalla's baby [[Aemon Steelsong|after Aemon]], once he reaches two years old.{{Ref|AFFC|35}}

Gilly sleeps with Samwell after Aemon's funeral and tells him she is his wife now. Sam, deeply regretful as he is sworn to the vows of the [[Night's Watch]], is reminded by [[Kojja Mo]] of Gilly's losses. When Sam explains to Gilly that he swore vows before a [[heart tree]], Gilly responds that there are no trees on the water to watch what they do.{{Ref|AFFC|35}}

Gilly is impressed with [[Three Towers]] when ''Cinnamon Wind'' enters [[Whispering Sound]]. Upon their arrival at Oldtown, Samwell announces his intention to arrange [[horse]]s and a [[wagon]] for Gilly to travel to [[Horn Hill]], Samwell's childhood home.{{Ref|AFFC|45}} Samwell first travels to the [[Citadel]], however, and Gilly awaits his return upon the ''Cinnamon Wind''.{{Ref|AFFC|45}}
