The Dragon's Daughter (Aemond Targaryen)

Dragon Date part 2

*Vyserra POV*

Vyserra watched Aemond take the two children further into the pit and walked behind, admiring the scene. She had fallen in love with little Visenya. She felt extremely maternal towards the little girl. She thought of her mother, her childhood friend and could almost feel her smiling down upon her, happy that she is being looked after.

They had disappeared into the darkness. When Vyserra had finally caught up she could hear Robar whisper, "Mummy look." 

Vhagar was lighting up her vision by breathing small flames. Vyserra was taken aback, she hadn't seen Vhagar in years and she was even bigger than before. 

"I want to see her fly," Robar whispered.

"That's all very well, me and your mummy are going flying, so you can wave us away! Why don't you two go slowly out to your nursemaids and see us go?"

"OK," both children whispered and Vyserra giggled at them creeping out away from Vhagar.

Vyserra had been very chilled out with the children, but now it was just her and Aemond and they were going to ride Vhagar together, she was nervous again. 

"Ivestragī's jikagon Vhagar," (Let's go Vhagar) Aemond said and Vhagar started to move to the entrance, Aemond took Vyserra's hand and they walked after Vhagar.

Vyserra's hand tingled at his touch. There was something about him speaking High Valyrian which made her flutter.

"Are you sure Vhagar will still accept me?" she asked Aemond, slightly intimidated by Vhagar's huge form. It had been many years since she had even ridden another dragon.

"Not pussying out are you?" Aemond looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

"Don't be ridiculous," Vyserra said, trying to be confident when she felt like she could have a meltdown, they had reached the entrance. There was a huge stand which had obviously been built with mounting Vhagar in mind, the dragon waited patiently, looking at Aemond.

Aemond got on Vhagar and grinned at Vyserra, he put his arms out to catch her and he popped her down in front of him. The hair on Vyserra's neck stood up as she felt Aemond so close behind her. He had really wrapped himself around her and she doubted he really needed to be that close. She realised her heart was hammering extremely fast, and it wasn't because she was about to ride Vhagar. She could feel his breath on her neck and he put his arms around her, taking Vhagar's reins. 

"Are you ready Princess?" Aemond whispered in her ear. She felt her whole body shiver and thought it was impossible that Aemond wouldn't have noticed it. She nodded, lost for words. He took her hand and put it on one of the reins and put his arm around her stomach. Vyserra's body was almost shaking with delight at this contact.

"Sōvegon, Vhagar!" (Fly) Aemond shouted and they lifted off the ground. 

Vyserra almost forgot to wave at the children as they begun their ascent. She was completely distracted by the situation.

She felt out of body, hardly noticing the scenery or the fear of flying a different, massive dragon. All she felt was Aemond's body in contact with hers and his breath in her ear. 

The sound of Vhagar's flying was so loud but part-way into the flight Aemond said into her ear, "Does it look familiar?"

Vyserra realised this was a route they would fly when she was just a child, there was a tiny island over the sea and they could see a small lighthouse.

Vyserra felt overcome with emotion, there was so many memories here for her. She also felt extremely shy, this felt romantic to Vyserra, but she still didn't know how her Uncle was viewing her. It was possible he was reliving the memory with his little niece, and not a love interest. In reply, she put her hand on his and he wrapped his fingers around hers. 

*Aemonds POV*

On the flight back to King's Landing Aemond again wondered what he was doing. He had a foreign emotion in the pit of his stomach. Did he truly want to court Vyserra? 

Yes was the short answer, but that came with a lot of things Aemond didn't want to think about. He thought he would probably have another feeling-less marriage with a women he hardly knew, and his life would be easier than way. No true feelings involved and no one could get hurt. Aemond didn't like to have feelings involved but either way he cared about Vyserra as a niece, but he was definitely at this moment caring about her as more than that. He had never felt the need to hold a women's hand, to kiss her cheek, he never wanted to be a gallant knight who read poetry and simped after women. 

He shook himself and told him why bother thinking about it and whatever happens happens, he knew already he would find it extremely hard to stay away from Vyserra. And if he did? She would marry some lord and he would take her away. The rage he felt in that moment wasn't healthy, he pulled Vyserra even closer to him.

They had started their descent. He noticed two blonde heads as they got lower and lower and realised his sister and uncle were at the Dragonpit. He pointed at them so Vyserra could see and they both inwardly thought 'shit'.

When Vhagar landed Daemon rushed over and put his arms out to catch his daughter. "This looks cosy, you two can't get enough of each other it seems. I didn't realise the first man I'd have to kill to defend your honor Vyserra would be my own nephew!"

"Fuck off dad," moaned Vyserra as she covered her face with embarrassment. "Aemond would probably beat you anyway!"

"We will see," said Daemon with his eyebrows raised at Aemond. 

"Vyserra I have been looking for you everywhere," Rhaenyra said, "we have our ladies day today! We are almost late for it and the Queen will be waiting!"

"Shit sorry mum, I completely forget," Vyserra turned to Aemond, she was clearly embarrassed and knew if she said anything her dad would mock her, "Thanks," she couldn't look him in the eye, she was going red too. She patted Vhagar's nose and was off in the carriage with her mother. 

Aemond couldn't help but think that she was adorable. He smiled and Daemon said, "I'm watching you boy," and winked at him, and was off in the carriage with his wife and daughter.
