lunch was tense.
laenor wasn't present and the children was still too deep in losing the beloved shield but nyra watched her mother as she simply nudged her food around her plate. joffrey was being taken cared of by his wetnurse and they all ate in silence.
"mother, is it not to your liking?" asks nyra causing the older woman to look up and smile gently.
"my appetite has left me, my dear. but yours hasn't, so eat. don't worry about me" she scrunched her nose.

shelves that reached the top of the ceiling were filled with books of knowledge from dragons to scriptures from high septons of aegon the conqueror's reign. due to her shorter height, she could only reach the guides of potion-making but she was able to grab the leather-bound book of dragons.
How to Train Your Dragon by Hiccup Haddock III
interesting enough.
she took residency at the side chair in front of the window that was overlooking the city and began to read.
"why read about dragons when you don't possess one yourself?"
aemond's voice came from behind her and she turned her head.
"would it hurt you to announce your presence rather than sneak up on me, uncle?"
he cracked a small smile before he sat on the chair next to hers.
