(Video; UN: motherofdragons)

(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 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!

[decisiveconquest]

(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...

[decisiveconquest]

(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.

[embracethewind]

( 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.

[decisiveconquest]

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.

[embracethewind]

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.
