Tell me, is it bravery or stupidity that drives you to take a queen from her people, a mother from her children, and a dragon from her nest?

They do as they will, your Grace, as ill adviced as it may seem.

[iwillnotlookback]

A stupid sort of courage, then. Married with shocking gall and arrogance.

[songsandstories]

Mayhaps she wishes to do well by you? [Though from her own experience, this is never the case.]

[iwillnotlookback]

[ She laughs, and it is a sad laugh. ]

Tell me truly, child, have you ever known a man or woman to seek to do well by another they would use as a mummer's puppet?

[greywater]

There's not much we can do from here, but at least there are places to explore. [It's the small bright side, that things can be different here.]

[iwillnotlookback]

And you are content with that?

[greywater]

I'll be content when my prince and brother are happy.

[iwillnotlookback]

A loyal girl of simple wants, I see.

[willas_tyrell]

I suppose whether it is bravery or stupidity depends on the mundane.

[iwillnotlookback]

Or it may be both.

[willas_tyrell]

It very well may be. However it has given me the unexpected privilege of meeting Daenerys Targaryen.

[iwillnotlookback]

How well you speak, and yet you have me at a disadvantage. You know who I am, but I do not know who you are.

And a sister from her kin, and a lady commander from her guard, and a maiden from her whorehouse...

We are all something to someone. Often in chains and wanting for heads, but something, lady. To someone.

[iwillnotlookback]

Dragons wear chains rather less well than lions and whores.

[a_wager_won]

Because only men beyond the Wall chain down old bones. The last dragon died with the Dragonbane. It is written, and it is known.

[iwillnotlookback]

Known by whom? Because all men from the far eastern lands know this truth: the slavers of Slaver's Bay quake in the shadow of passing clouds for fear it is one of mine own children come to roast their flesh and feed on the charred ruins of their corpses.

There are three dragons in the world now: Rhaegal, Viserion, and Drogon, who is Balerion the Black Dread come again.

[thelonewolf]

It doesn't matter who you are. They'll still do whatever they want.

[iwillnotlookback]

And they are cruel to entrap children so.

[ Referring specifically to Arya in that.....because Dany is no child. ]

[thelonewolf]

[HEY! Children don't see the things she's seen, or do the things she's done.]

I'm not a stupid child.

[cherrygrail]

As sad as that is to hear, I don't think their intentions are all bad.

[iwillnotlookback]

If you have been shown kindness, I am glad for it.

[cherrygrail]

Ah, well, I think it has to do with how we look at it.

I'm not being sent to a very pleasant place at all, but there are people there that I care about and even more people to meet, so I'm going to do my best to be happy there.

[wont]

They are a willful lot, Your Grace. They have fear of nothing — not even dragons.

[iwillnotlookback]

A quality I might respect under different circumstances.

[wont]

Will you look to quell her willfulness? So many have failed in the past. Their stories litter the streets.
