(Video; UN: motherofdragons)

(With all of the apologies lately, Daenerys is going to prove to be quite different from the rest. She, for the most part, is looking content, watching something - someone, actually - dipping and diving over her head.)

I was informed that I may acquire wings in time. How might I go about earning them quicker?

(She has long held onto the dream of flight. Now that dream has become a ravenous craving and the young queen longs for it.)

I fall under the control of the Sanguis moon. I had talons, scales, fangs, but sadly I was grounded.

Do you want me in pieces?

I'm just offering a creative solution.

Creativity usually doesn't demand such sacrifice.

"Go big or go home", right?

This is my home.

... It's a saying. It means if you're gonna do something, do it big or don't even bother. I was messing with you.

(Mercury.)

If I learn how to fly, you will jump off that roof with me.

I could do it today and be just fine.

Not all of us are blessed with your legs.

Oh, yeah. That's me. Winner of the lottery for getting my legs hacked off. Truly, I'm blessed.

You have overcome that; you are stronger. (She gives him a pointed look.) I have felt you.

[ Is he? His legs aren't the only thing that was taken from him - and there's no replacement for what else has been lost. ]

Well, then maybe that'll get you what you want. A little amputation goes a long way, clearly.

We all lose something. I would have rather lost an arm or a leg than my sons.

(That isn't even a contest, really.)

Yeah, well, you don't get to choose the hand you're dealt. You can only play it.

You are incredibly handsome, strong and too smart for anyone's good. I know you will survive.

Yeah, yeah, you love me, I get it.

Love would be foolish. (She knows better.) I respect you.

[ To be fair, he was kidding. He's distinctly unloveable, he knows that. ]

Oh, darn. Here I was getting excited about picking out rings together and finding a nice venue for the wedding. Would you prefer indoors or out?

(She might suffer from the same issue. Except where Khal Drogo, ~~her Bear~~Ser Jorah, Missandei and Greyworm are concerned.)

I think we should have a full Dothraki wedding. They say it is a boring affair if no one dies.

[ It's nice to have exceptions. He... doesn't. Oops. Emerald doesn't count ~~okay she kind of counts~~ ]

... That might be the first wedding I'd actually be interested in attending.

(Those exceptions never saw her raze King's Landing to the ground, but she is fairly certain they wouldn't hold it against her.)

Men and women join together until another man kills the first and takes his place. They usually treat their women like mares, you see.

Except for me.

[ Mercury videotaped the destruction of a school and the city surrounding it with a smile on his face, so. You know. He's not in a place to judge either. ]

So if someone killed all the men, then what - he'd get all the women?

Yes. Until another hoard crosses your path. (It's all fun and games until everyone is dead.)

Live hard, die hard, I guess.

That is how the Dothraki live. The men, at least. If a woman is lucky, she is wed to one of the Khals. However, upon his death, she is placed with other widows and she can never marry again.
