[ grace really has to dig deep into the pop culture knowledge she has about politics to know who the fuck hawk is talking about but LUCKILY she has a boner for david strathairn so she recognizes the name. ]
yeah fuck that guy
i'm not actually into politics at all but since i just came into a fuck ton of money i feel like i should be now you know?
and you already look like a hollywood heartthrob babe that's fully cheating, would love to see you with the little googles and silk scarf tho
Well, yes, that, but also about will and determination and things like that. That's how you control it, with your willpower. If you have enough willpower, you don't have to worry about not being able to perform.
[ how much of the kindness he's been given an extension of his mother's goodwill? how much of it would have been withheld otherwise? aemond is starting to see the edges where the lines fall, and he's both disappointed and relieved in what he sees.
aemond does approach and clearly, making sure his steps cannot be mistaken for another. with the games having ended β it can't hurt to be careful. ]
I'm sorry. I'd say that I hoped for the rest of your family to show up so you didn't have to miss them, but I'm not sure I'd wish this place on anyone.
I do, actually. I think he might be my favorite person. I'm not sure I'm ever going to see him again.
[ her favourite person. who is aemond's favourite? would vhagar count, or should it only be humans and the like? his favourite would be aegon, he thinks. however horrible that sounds even to his own ears. ]
They are not all terrible. They're simply complex, our relations with one another. Too much history, too much pain buried under the wounds we've given ourselves.
That's just how family is. Sometimes it's hard to live with them, but you can't really live without them.
[Except she's been doing a pretty decent job of living without them for the past year or so.]
He's smart and funny. Effortlessly charming and really good at talking his way out of trouble, which is probably a good thing because he's also really good at getting into it. He always knew what to say when our mother was being a nightmare.
[ like aegon, then. troublesome as much as he is winsome, clever and charming but putting his talents to frivolous pursuits. the struggle of having brothers, aemond thinks. ]
Perhaps you should leash your brother for a time. Keep him still that way, so that he might not hurt himself along the way. My brother Aegon is about the same, though I do not think he and your brother would share many interests.
[ being outside is preferable at the best of times, anyway. dani looks better with sunlight on his skin. warmer, healthier. like there's something missing when he's in the shade, but that wasn't obvious until he's not. so being out here, it lifts his mood, it makes him feel somewhat better about this.
not much. but some.
aemond's blond hair and eyepatch make him distinctive. dani is dark-haired and lightly tanned, but most notable is the brand on the left side of his neck - an old scar, reading BCCD-2349-102. ]
Hello, Prince Aemond. [ his tone is mild, careful. ] Perhaps...I should start by asking what you know of my world already. From Lexi, or anyone else.
