Dragons Blood

4.

No ones POV

It had been days since the incident in the dragon pit. Princess Rhaenyra and her children had left the next day, leaving with no goodbyes said. Maegoryia hadn't left her chambers in those days, sulking in the fact that her face had been marked. The healing process wasn't what she had thought. The stitches had to be cleaned everyday and she had to be careful with her facial movements so none would rip. Maegoryia had felt as those she should not be complaining because her brother had it worse than her. She could only imagine what it felt like to only see out of one eye, but she didn't want to find out. Helaena seemed to be the only one to come and see Maegoryia. Aegon was too drunk to even get out of bed some days and Aemond seemed to also have not left his own chambers these days as well. Today was different though.

Maegoryia walked into her brothers room with no warning, simply just pushing past the doors with a cold cup of water in her hands. Her thoughts of him still being in bed had been confirmed when she walked in and saw Aemond had been laying there, sleeping with dried tears on his face. Maegoryia walked to his beds side and threw the cold water onto his face, waking him in a frenzy. She swears that he got whip flash from how fast he sat up and snapped his neck to her.

"Maegoryia!?" Aemond yelled at his sister, upset he had been awoken in such a way. She could have just tapped his shoulder or something but no. "No more sulking. Lets go." Is all Maegoryia said as she looked at him with a serious face and walked out of his room to go and attend breakfast with their mother. As she was walking out, Aemond could only look at her like she was crazy. From what he heard, she had also been so called 'sulking' so why do they now, have to stop. He just rolled his eyes and got ready for the day so that his sister wouldn't come back with more water.

"Good Morning Mother." Maegoryia and Helaena said at the same time as they walked up to their mother who had looked surprised to see Maegoryia out of her room, but she was happy nonetheless. She simply smiled at her daughters as they sat down together and began to eat. Moments later Aemond had came in, having a look of sorrow evident on his face. He smiled at everyone and sat to eat. Half way through the silent meal, Aegon had joined them which had been surprising, seeing as he is always up around lunch, being too hungover in the mornings to join them, but that did not matter now. Alicent could only look at all of her children and smile, having them all in the same room again on a good accord for once.

"Aemond, Mae, I am glad to see you both have finally joined us." Alicent said to her children with a large smile on her face. Maegoryia thought her mothers smile was beautiful but at this moment it looked like she was about to implode.

"Of course mother. We have had time and it has been a week since the accident. We can not sulk forever. That would be nonsense." Maegoryia answered for both her and Aemond, knowing he would not want to talk at this moment, still being tired and stuffing his face with lemoncakes. He just smiled and nodded along before going back to his food.

"Well, I am glad to hear that." Alicent stated with the a nod before going back to eating, signaling that the conversation had come to an end.
Aegon had not surprisingly, fallen asleep at the table and at the end of breakfast, he was woken by mother smacking the back of his head before walking out to attend her duties and all he did was whine and groan in pain.

"You are such a baby Aegon." Maegoryia had said to her eldest brother who had gotten lightly smacked in the head.

He looked at her offended, "What's that supposed to mean?"
