SINCE Viserys' death, tensions seemed to wane. Despite the original reason for Daenerys and Vaegon to be distant, things seemed to slowly but steadily turn toward a path of redemption. While Daenerys attempted to speak to her husband about bringing the Dothraki across the Narrow Sea, albeit all for Vaegon, she found no success. She tried seducing him, bargaining with him, even resorting to gentle begging. It does not budge her stubborn husband an inch.
While Daenerys had tried her best to win back her only surviving brother, Vaegon began training with Jorah on one-to-one combat and a new focus on the intellectual and literal knowledge that a king should know. Knowing that he was the next in line to receive the throne, he decided he would not be as weak and ineffectual as his brother. With the golden opportunity, Vaegon refused to let it slip through his hands.
All while the last remaining Targaryens carried on in their lives without their cruel brother, things began to crawl to a stop. The Khalasar was staying in Vaes Dothrak for a while, so finding things to do grew harder and harder. Yet, Vaegon found no care in being bored, for Viserys was dead, and his reign of terror was over. Vaegon had no regrets about seeing his brother dead and gone, or how he so cruelly died. He thought that if Drogo hadn't done it, he might have eventually done it himself.
Kinslaying was abhorred in Westeros, yet he was not in Westeros.
On one partially slow and gruelingly hot day, Ser Jorah suggested that Vaegon venture to the market, to 'further develop his social skills among diverse people', as the knight had put it. He had told Vaegon that it was essential to be able to tolerate anyone he encountered, even those he might dislike.
Reluctantly, Vaegon followed through with the knight's suggestion. They arrived at the market in the early afternoon, meandering along the street among the people. Vaegon was surprised to find such diversity among Vaes Dothrak, a city he'd formally believed to be full of nothing but the nomadic savages. He spots many different types of people selling goods. A Tyroshi merchant with a dyed lime green beard full of beads spoke in bastardized Valyrian while a Pentosi man bargained with people over his assortment of trinkets and jewels. The diversity went on and on.
Different smells filled the air, and a drum beat was audible somewhere in the distance. Pleased to be entertained, Vaegon was thankful Jorah had suggested the visit.
"Is this what King's Landing is like?" Vaegon asked as they walked.
"In a way, yes," Ser Jorah replied. "You'll find merchants from Essos in the city, trying to sell their clothes to gullible nobles and easily fascinated commoners. There are still the normal residents of the capital trying to make a living. But you won't find such diversity among the people and cultures as you would in Essos."
"Is it as dirty as they say?" Vaegon wondered. "Even from what I remember living there, the city outside of the walls of the Red Keep was relatively... unclean."
