He didn't know why he brought it up. It had had nothing to do with the situation, it was almost irrelevant, and yet he felt the need to talk about it. Rose was the first bystander he wanted to tell.

Silence.

He saw her look up, hesitant, as if she feared the wrong answer would make him angry. He saw her swallow, then bite her lips. Aemond wondered if she would keep biting her lip if she knew what effect it had on him.

"Yes."

He wasn't surprised. He felt her start to breathe faster, her muscles tense.

"Who told you that?" He asked in a low voice.

"Dyana," Rose confessed. "Back when you captured Lucerys." Her voice was calm, though he was aware of the slight tremor within her. She looked at him gently, asking him not to glorify a problem that wasn't there. "She didn't tell me how it happened." She added quickly as he turned his head away. Did she fear his wrath? "She just said your nephew took your eye."

The girl talked too much.

Aemond took a deep breath. The memory of that night came back, the pain, though long gone, resurfaced, almost made him wince. He needed to calm down, to continue the conversation. His hand clenched into a fist. He tried to loosen it and massaged his temple.

"It happened after I claimed Vhagar. They came at me, full of rage and anger that I had dared."

"Dared?"

"The dragon belonged to the deceased whose funeral we attended. I have to admit it was bad timing, but there was no better time to do it." He had seen the opportunity and taken it. He would have been a fool not to. She listened to his words, her eyes locked on his lips. She nodded, her gaze warm and understanding, no sign of condemnation.
