Alexandra passed through the doors and noticed eagle standing there. She glanced at him, there was war in his eyes. "Stay here. You're not loyal to me, you're loyal to the queen." She said shortly. Before she took another step she patted his shoulder.

"You're a good man , and a good friend" she said with a smile before marching down the stairs. Leaving behind her best buddy and the woman who so easily stole her heart. Her father would have a ball of a time if he knew she fell in love so easily. Love at first sight. She guessed.

Love was one thing and lust was another. She remembered her words. It was true, logically she had a zero percent chance with the queen. After all she was just a healer and the woman was the next queen, a queen without a crown and a throne but a queen nonetheless. Considering the era they were in she didn't think it was smiled upon to marry a woman, never mind a woman with a cock. A sigh escaped her lips. Love was one thing and lust was another. Yet she said those words to Daenerys because she believed that the woman at the moment had such a shallow comprehension of ruling, of being a queen. On her on own earth.

Rulers rose and fell but what they all had in common was that they conquered for power and greed. Her mind flittered back to China dynasty. The Qin dynasty in particular. Emperor Zhou had made it his mission to conquer the surrounding areas, the surrounding countries for a vision , a vision he envisioned. With no borders , there would be no war, no strife and then then could move forward. It was idealistic at best, a fools dream but there were people who supported his vision, his generals who believed in his words. It was something to dream for a future worth fighting for.

But from what she read and heard here, these people conquered for power and greed, they fought over a throne that really belonged to none of them. It was both mystifying and foolish.

But she chose a side and even though she left the pyramid she wouldn't change her mind. She had chosen to back Danny. So she needed to support her in her own way and the only way she knew how. She wasn't the best at politics and strategy. But what she did now was medicine and right now the biggest demand was proper healthcare — these people were suffering, aside from not having an income they were suffering, their children were suffering and she could help. All by spreading the word that she did at the queens behest.

Ah the things you do for love, and Danny had a damn good swing. Her cheek still stung with the reminder. Well she wasn't  a masochist but she didn't mind being rough. She would've said that but Danny was half surprised by her actions too.

Sigh.

She veered off and arrived at the slumps. She saw a few people watch her from their tents and homes. She really needed to learn the language thank god she still had a book to help her in her studies. She was sure the queen wouldn't mind.

"Alright I suppose I should start then" she murmured gripping her bag.

Weeks passed since Alexandra arrived in the slums , she set up her own medical tent , she was currently tending to a child that suffered from asthma. She didn't think she could or have asthma pumps but she explained to the boys mother to cook water and steam his face.

"Inhaling the hot steam will help him breath." She explained in Valyrian.

The woman smiled and she rubbed the ten year olds head " you'll be alright kid.." she grinned and gave him a few herbs as well "take this , the inhalation will help but try and start slow exercises to strengthen your lungs Alright?"

She had taken to bathing  in the communal baths in the district. Since she left she hadn't seen another unsullied one the area but she did get more than a few patients. The woman , Tessa's mother had helped spread the word of a healer being in their presence which then filled up her days with patients. She smiled as the next man came in.
