(A familiar face, perhaps? Drogon is bigger than he was before, much too big to perch on her shoulder and his expressions are easier to see. Can a Dragon be worried? He certainly looks it, his low growls rumbling, unsure, at his mother's side.)

I feel like I saw this place in a dream. (The sensation of rain pouring down, blurring the lines of the buildings and washing the ash from her clothes forces her to breathe.) Is this what awaits everyone? Are these the Night Lands?

(She glances at Drogon, his eyes flaring fire bright.)

I must be alive. Unless you have learned how to fly far indeed! (Bending down, breaking herself out of her frozen state, she caresses her boy's scaly cheek.)

Does anyone recognize us?

(She is quickly entering the building for her apartment with Drogon on her heels.)

What should I expect?

(The moon was always beautiful from below. She remembers staring at it for hours as a little girl.)

We won't venture out into it again unless we have no other choice.

( good! it would be unfortunate if she and her dragon get sick. can dragons get sick? )

Only the unexpectable, since the storm and heavy rain aren't normal as I've heard.

( the moon is beautiful from any sight indeed, even the ones here despite the changes. )

A good change of clothes and warm beverages are the solution. And-- and warm food for your friend there!

(They can, but it is unlikely for one as strong as Drogon.)

Are you somewhere safe? (She is hurrying herself and Drogon to a higher floor and thus her voice is a little breathless.)

He will need fresh meat, but for now, he and I will make do with what we can find.

( what a cutie, strong dragon! also, how sweet of her concerning for his well-being, awwe. )

I'm in my own apartment at the moment but I'll go out if people need help because of the flood. ( hurry dany! don't catch a cold! )

If you need meat I can bring you some I have. And dry clothes, too.

(She is more worried about Drogon. The possibility of catching a Cold won't occur to her until he is dry and comfortable.)

No, stay there. I didn't see anyone on the street.

(So hopefully everyone is playing it safe.)

We can come to your apartment. What is the number?

( poor baby. )

Even if I have to, if something happens, I won't stay idle.

( the most sensible thing is staying indoors. )

Alright. ( insert building and apartment number. ) You can find me there, I'll wait for both of you.

I admire your bravery. (She is too accustomed to giving orders; to seeing things done herself. That will be a hard habit to shake.)

We won't be long. (Drogon makes a huffy sound and she smiles softly.) He must be starving.

(So much has happened and Drogon hasn't had a chance in a day at least to relax and get a good meal. Daenerys feels guilty for pushing him and so she takes him directly to Souji's apartment, knocking on the door.)

( if it's any consolation, he has been, too. a first captain after all. with a smile — )

Thank you. I'm bushi after all.

I'll have some tea ready and some raw meat pieces too. Be careful. ( because of the storm, the delay would be understandable so he makes time by preparing some good tea (no tea bags, only tea leaves) and cutting some fresh meat he had inside the big cooling box for dinner later. a newly purchased, traditional kimono and obi are lying on his bed, hoping she won't mind if it's male clothing.

the knocking calls his attention and goes to open it, moving aside for them to enter. )

Welcome, make yourselves comfortable.

Bushi? (She keeps under as many coverings as possible, coaxing Drogon along with gentle encouragements. He seems focused on staying beside her, hissing at anything that moves unexpectedly. Her poor boy.

At Souji's door, Drogon sniffs the air, scenting the meat. However he inspects the man first, gazing up at him with intelligent eyes.)

Thank you. (She smiles faintly and walks inside, removing her boots so she doesn't make a mess of his apartment. Drogon meanwhile decides Souji is safe and follows her, never going more than a few feet from her side.)

Avy jorrāelan, Drogon. I will not leave you.

I'll explain once you're here. ( ending the feed so they can arrive safely. wet as ramen noodles, but safely.

there, at the other side of his door, his face shows all the thrill for seeing a dragon up close, letting him do as he pleases since he's a guest. )

Welcome, little friend!

( when she takes off her footwear, he offers her a towel that was already in hand waiting for her. that language is one he had never heard before. )

There's a dry kimono in my room. I apologize since that's all I have to offer. You can change there as I get the tea.

Fair enough. (She takes the towel he offers and dries Drogon, giving his nose a kiss. The Dragon lets out a shrill whistle and Daenerys laughs.)

You will never be too old or too big for your mother. (Drogon seems to accept this and as Daenerys walks off to get changed, he walks around Souji's apartment, investigating. Don't worry, he's gentle with his wings and his snout.

When Daenerys rejoins them in the kimono, which is blessedly comfortable and dry, she gives Souji a kiss too - on his cheek.)

You have made this much easier for us. Thank you.

( how adorable, awwe! looking from behind as he pours the tea into cups and serves the pieces of meat in a plate. souji's eyes gaze to daenerys getting into his bedroom with a little pink on his cheeks; if his mentors and friends were here they would cheer him up to do something bold with her. the dragon's noises set aside his thoughts rushing at him worried that he drops something just in case. )

A--Ah! Be careful, D-Drogon, right?

( after a few minutes, souji senses daenerys from behind, changed — asdfghj that kiss! he didn't see that coming and his cheeks are all red. )

Ah-Ah-Ah-- Y-Yes! You're welcome! ( focus souji, focus. ) Would--Would you like some tea?

(Drogon makes a sound of curiosity and turns to look at Souji, tilting his head. Yes, he understands his name. Actually, the Dragon knows at least three languages (besides his own). He learned them side by side with his mother - who took time to converse with him in each.

Daenerys hides a small smile when she rejoins them. It's nice to see a man who isn't crude and demanding.)

Yes, please. Will you have some with me?

( letting out a sigh of relief, he's glad the dragon can understand perfectly as a human would. quite impressive, to be honest. better let him be curious since drogon is big enough to deck him the floor and... roast him?

after that initial shock, the kiss on his cheek unsettles him in a strange manner, walking towards the kitchen counter to offer her the small plate with the cup. why would he? she's a lady who was having trouble in the rain. )

O-Of course. Do you feel... drained without Chroma at the moment?

(She takes a seat near where Drogon settles; it puts them both at ease. Her braids feel heavy and she works on undoing them, letting her hair dry in gentle waves. At the mention of Chroma, she glances up at Souji questioningly.)

I suppose I do. I thought it was because of...everything. Do you think Chroma could help me feel better?

( the simple act of daenerys undoing her own braids so lady-like colored his cheeks way worse, setting the cup and plate on the edge of the small table before where she's sitting next to her dragon. )

If you want to and need to. ( holding his own cup and plate a little nervous. ) ... If-- If you need someone for that I'm here.

(She smiles a little, so faint the expression doesn't reach her eyes. Is his hesitation an act?)

Would that make you happy? To bed a queen? (Her fingers continue to work, unwinding her hair and setting the ties aside.) Many men would brag about it.

( if it weren't for his good control over himself, he would have spilled the tea from the cup all over the floor. his brow furrows, watching her carefully at such words. )

Bed... a queen? ( bedding!? wait — now he's flustered! ) Are you a queen!? But... that's... that's too much!

(She forces herself to take a breath before answering. He has been kind and he deserves that much of her self-control.)

I was before everything was taken from me. (Drogon rests his head on her lap, reminding her that he has not been taken.) Does it frighten you?

( his kindness isn't one where he needs something in exchange. on the contrary... he's the sort to help others when they need it. that's the nature of his job back home, a trait inherited by his sensei.

his lips press in a thin line, offering an apologetic nod. )

I'm sorry, miss... ( ah shit. he hasn't even asked her name. watching drogon with cautious eyes, her question unsettles him because... it does frighten him. ) I don't know, I've... not...

(He feels genuine and so she allows herself to entertain empathy for him. The last thing she needs to do is push away someone who could help her. She is no position to demand or argue. Beg maybe, but that's all.)

My name is Daenerys and you needn't fear me. Here I am not a queen; I'm not anybody. I'm just a woman.

( with a lump in his throat he tries to slyly swallow, souji sits next to her... only a liiittle far away to respect her personal space with drogon there. maybe another hot sip of tea can help him. )

I am Okita, Souji. As you are a queen, I am a captain, only not here. It doesn't mean we should forget the titles that define us.

Should they define us? (She knows she is more than a princess or a queen and yet she has clung to those titles with such ferocity for years. What would happen if she was just Daenerys?) Maybe I only want to be Daenerys Targaryen. She has never been nothing.

Weren't you happy being a Queen in some way? I'm happy being a First Captain. [ sip, sip! ] Becoming Daenerys Targaryen 'the woman' could be even better. You'll care for what you want from now on.
