(Video; UN: motherofdragons)

[decisiveconquest]

(Sometimes in order to get a better state of mind, a change of scenery is necessary. Daenerys has found a larger home for herself and Drogon. The ceilings are high enough for the little dragon to fly short, safe distances. He lets out a series of happy sounds as he explores his new domain.)

Well I have his approval. (Daenerys has often been expressive with her wardrobe and that hasn't changed. Her clothing is more modern by far. Pants are easier to move about in and, with a belt, her sword and dagger are tucked close by.)

I am hosting a house warming party for any and all interested. Alcohol is welcome, so no one underage, please.

(As cute as she finds children, she must be a proper mother about this.)

And if we haven't spoken, that is of no consequence. As long as you aren't intent on ruining things, I will be happy to see you.

(She ends the transmission with her address, a date - on the weekend - and a time.)

I have...unfinished business. (Anger that needs an outlet, a story that needs to be closed.) I am content for now.

[tobrushawaysnow]

[ Zichen nods slightly, gaze returning to her. ]

You will finish it when the time comes for you to leave. As will the rest of those here who have lives to continue back where our homes are.

[ Himself included. ]

[decisiveconquest]

No, it must be finished here or it won't be done. (But that's alright. If she is meant to see to it, she will be given the chance.) You are so kind, Zichen. I wish you all the happiness this world can provide.

[tobrushawaysnow]

Then how can I help you?

[ He may be dead, but he still sees it necessary to help those he can. And he has come to think of her as a friend.

So he only shakes his head, lips quirking slightly. ]

I am as you see, when I am myself. [ Otherwise he's a monster. :| No matter what Xue Yang says. ]

You deserve happiness as well, Daenerys.

[decisiveconquest]

Your friendship helps me greatly. I didn't mean to sound like I am belittling it.

(Maybe she needs to open her heart again - just a crack. Even if it amounts to nothing, at least she will be happy temporarily. Though she can't help but think the happiness would be derived from forced ignorance.)

I like you as yourself. (She saw the strength he might possess when Wen Ning decimated the mermaid holding her captive. Monsters don't save people.)

I'm alive, I have my son, we have a safe place to call home and I have friends. My life is good. (It's just the life she had before that continues to dog her steps.)

[tobrushawaysnow]

Do not worry. I did not take it so.

[ But he is glad he can give her some help. That she also counts him a friend.

A good life, and yet...He takes a guess, from what she has told him before. ]

...Your past?

[decisiveconquest]

(She glances down, grazing the sword's hilt with her fingertips.)

I won't break if I see him, but that doesn't mean I want him to live.

[tobrushawaysnow]

[ He'd once felt that about Xue Yang. Now look at them. ]

You are always welcome wherever I live here. You do not have to go through it alone.

[decisiveconquest]

(Their situations do have some similarities. She has been practicing with a sword and her dagger, however she knows she doesn't stand a chance against Jon Snow. Unless she can catch him off-guard.)

If needed, for his safety, I might send Drogon to you.

[tobrushawaysnow]

[ Zichen slowly nods, accepting her request. ]

If it is safety which concerns you, I would be glad to teach you some of my world's swordsmanship and martial arts.

[decisiveconquest]

I will do my best to move as you do. (She won't have his strength or endurance, but some improvement is better than none.) Would you mind terribly having a weak student?

[tobrushawaysnow]

I would only ask you to do your best. Strength will come with practice and discipline.

[decisiveconquest]

I am honored to follow your lessons. Without my faithful guards, I must pick up a sword and use it well.

[tobrushawaysnow]

You will learn. [ She's too determined not to give it her all. ]

[decisiveconquest]

Don't be afraid to put me in my place. (She might get angry, but it's good for her.)
