[bloodstone]

Daughter.

[ He steps inside, looks around, and then turns to her. If she'll permit it, he'll let a hand lift to touch her cheek. ]

I would not have wished you here, but I am glad to see you.

[moondanced]

( oh.

not fair. she wants to be mad. she wants to let him feel her anger.

but instead she allows the touch. softens ever so slightly. ) If everyone else is here, I am glad to be here, too. ( while she's thrilled to be able to support Rhaenyra, she's most thrilled to be able to support Jace. )

Jace's room is the one adjoining mine.

[bloodstone]

As it should be. The two of you should be together.

[ His hand stays in place, thumb stroking over her cheek. So like her mother, with the boldness and fire of a dragon. It softens him to her, even with the tension. ]

I am with Rhaenyra, of course.

[moondanced]

( it's hard to trust his words sometimes. he disappeared for days. it was clear something was amiss. and suddenly he's so very loyal?

she wants to believe, though. needs to believe. )

You both are not far, are you? I think it wiser we stay closer. Even if we have a peaceful truce here, we can never be certain.

[bloodstone]

[ Sometimes, you're tormented with nightmares and horrors and then a vision of the future. And then you're told your son inherits the throne. ]

Not far. If you have need, both of us will come to you.

[moondanced]

( maybe he should get tormented with horrors more often... )

I meant should her Grace have need of me. She is more vulnerable here than ever before.

[bloodstone]

We are greater in number than the threats. No harm will come to her.

[moondanced]

Only if the threats come at us in the light. ( she frowns. )

I'm not certain we can trust the honor of all our enemies. ( aemond. she means aemond. )

[bloodstone]

No, of course we can't. But we will rally beside her and keep her safe.

[ His hand slips away, patting her shoulder gently. ]

Rhaenyra is concerned for you, and for Jace, which is no surprise. But with these strange devices to contact one another, defence will be easier.
