[ it is softly said, carefully volleyed, and aemond hopes his brother has sense and consciousness enough to read between the lines so that he might not accuse the house of treason so openly and in broad daylight. we are hostages here, he means to say, gilded as the cages are, and ever so pretty.
they have to be careful, especially when they're outnumbered and have no dragons to call. if there is something he and his mother are in agreement, it's that they have to play the field with more prudence and subtlety than they're used to. aegon, especially, if they are to make him rise through this crowd and be recognised as the rightful heir over rhaenyra. ]
