"What was it like flying the Black Dread? You were Balerion's last rider."
"Only for a short time before he died. With Balerion died the last memory of Valyria of Old. But Vhagar still lives... somewhere." Viserys said with a sigh.
"Bit too large for the Dragon pit. Some would say too large for our world." Avalon remarked as she passed.
"Do you know where she nests?" Laena questioned looking to Avalon.
"Im the dragon expert!" Avalon declared.
"I'm sorry?" Viserys had too much on his mind to be talking dragons with a child, a child he was never going to marry, ever. He knew that for a fact, he didn't know why he was bothering entertaining the idea. He saw Rhaenyra standing on the balcony watching them he had to pull his eyes away from the laugh on Avalon's lips as she looked to Laena.
"the Dragon keepers believe she made home somewhere on the coast of the Narrow Sea. The workers at Spicetown report hearing her song at times." Avalon told her. "I wish to find her one day and give her a home." Laena smiled back at Avalon.
"Thats so beautiful." Laena agreed.
"They say it is a sad thing." Viserys added.
"I imagine even dragons get lonely." Laena remarked.
"They do." Avalon agreed as she headed off seeing rhaenyra standing above.
"Your Grace... it would be a great honor to join our houses as they were in Old Valyria. I would give you many children of pure Valyrian blood so that we might strengthen the royal line and the realm." Laena told him, as rehearsed.
"Is that what your father told you to say?" Viserys questioned and she nodded sheepishly. "What did your mother tell you?" Viserys countered.
"That I wouldn't have to bed you until I turned 14." Laena told him honestly and Viserys sighed.

"It bothers you, does it not?"
"My father is a king. It is his duty to take a new wife and strengthen his line." Rhaenyra told Rhaenys.
"I did not ask for a lesson in politics. I asked whether this bothers you." Rhaenys repeated.
''Remember who you are speaking to.' Avalon warned Rhaenys as she came up. "Rhaenyra is not intimidated by you and neither am I.'' Avalon told her and Rhaenys scoffed.
"Laena is your daughter, Princess. Does it bother you?' Rhaenyra countered.
"Of course, it does. But I understand the order of things.' Rhaenys told her pompously.
"I'm not sure you do.' Avalon told her.
"If you mean to elicit some anger from me, you should know that you're failing, Princess." Rhaenyra warned smugly. Avalon loved that she said princess with a smile on her face but her word held venom.
"Quite the opposite. Whether it's to my daughter or to someone else's, your father will remarry sooner than late. His new wife will produce new heirs, and chances are better than not that one of those will be male. And when that boy comes of age and your father has passed, the men of the realm will expect him to be heir, not you Avalon." Rhaenys told her. "Because that is the order of things."
"Viserys didnt seem to think so." Avalon countered. "He thought I would do well. Change things for the better."
"How I wish that could be, Avalon. But the men of the realm already had their opportunity to appoint a ruling queen at the Great Council and they denied it." Rhaenys reminded her.
