LONDON -- Winter may be coming, but that doesn't mean the Game of Thrones cast aren't going to enjoy the summer while it lasts.

Seeing as Tormund Giantsbane and Lyanna Mormont are plainly two of the show's most badass characters (here's an important reminder of just how badass the latter is), it's really no surprise that the two of them would get along well in real life.

On Monday, Thrones actor Kristofer Hivju shared the following post on Instagram.

We're still eight months away, and the excitement is already too much.
