( Alicent. A close friend. Aegon nearly chokes on his drink, head swivelling back to stare at Tim as if suddenly stumbling upon some new species. His mother didn't have friends nor would most dare use her name in such a casual manner. All talk of team names evaporates as Aegon tries to understand exactly what is happening here. )

( A friend? Did his mother have friends?? )
