[ what the fuck is a hobby, what does that even mean ]

To fly across the Narrow Sea and revive Valyria of old, as Aegon the Conqueror had done when he crossed and claimed Westeros on dragonback.

[ to fly with aegon and daeron, with helaena as their queen, and bring dragonlords back to the heights of power that they once had before the doom.

it's as foolish as his mother's dreams of peace. ]

My satisfaction doesn't matter. How many chances have you given him?

[holyposition]

Is that for knowledge or for conquest?

Over the years? A lot. And I'm okay with that. Things aren't always so black and white. Complaints are always going to be louder than the good things. Sometimes you love someone even though they've hurt you. You've told me enough about your king brother that I know you know this.

[ this is going in circles. ]

It doesn't matter.

Complain all you like, then. Find your satisfaction in it when he commits offence against your senses and again. If you accept it of him his actions that displease you, then you permit it.

[holyposition]

I don't believe forgiveness and acceptance are the same.

[provoke]

You cannot forgive someone without accepting what they've done. What would be there to forgive otherwise?

[holyposition]

I can accept that it happened, because it did, and I'm not deluding myself. I don't have to accept that it was right, if he’s sorry and shows willingness to change.

I would extend that same grace to anyone.

[ this is the most foolish thing he's ever heard. ]

You complicate it all for his benefit and not yours. He hurts you. He apologises. You accept him and give him opportunity to change, and then he does it again. Sometimes he tries a little harder, and you look upon it with great fondness.

What would you tell someone in the same situation?

[holyposition]

What do think you know about him hurting me? I haven't told you anything about that. I'm sure he hasn't. I can't imagine your mother spends much time gossiping about me.

You don't have any context, you don't know what our home is like, and you don't know what you're talking about.

And you say you've forgiven him.

[ the truth is that aemond doesn't need to know the details. forgiveness is an answer to insult and injury, and the withholding of it has always been a weapon aemond knows well. it has been used against him, and he has used it against others. if tim has not realised that his denials only prove the depth of his hurt to aemond, then he will not be the one to point it out. let the man learn the hard way, if he's so eager. ]

You remind me of my father like this. So willing and ready to forgive.

Find peace with your love, Tim Laughlin. You desire it so.
