Dance of the Dragons (part I)

Jon and Dany talk. Rhaegar admits his feelings. Lyanna fights hers.

Jon narrowed his eyes as he ceased to feel the warmth of Daenerys's body next to him. She rose from the bed, pushing the blanket that covered them.

The room was still dark. The sun had not yet risen, but even in the darkness, he could see the silhouette of his wife's naked body curling into a thin silk robe, her steady steps heading for the door.

He hadn't heard a knock, but someone handed her a piece of paper and that was enough for Jon to sit alert.

"It's no big deal. Don't get up" Dany said sleepily, approaching a candle on the table, reading what was on the paper.

Jon remained alert, watching his wife's slight frown as she read the information that there was there.

"What's in it?" Jon asked, but she had already dropped the scroll and was back to the warmth of his body, getting rid of the robe right in front of his eyes and pulling the blanket over them, curling her legs into his.

"Our children have just retired. I asked them to let me know when they left and to make a brief report of what their night had been like" Dany explained, leaning her head to Jon's chest.

"Did you spy on our children?" Jon asked with a slight rebuke in his voice containing a yawn.

"Spying is a very strong word. I just told them to tell me what happened in the room after we left and let me know when they went to their rooms. I was clear to say that if

They went out... to a more private place... with someone... that shouldn't be reported. I do not have the intent to invade their privacy" Dany clarified, seeing Jon look at her from the corner of his eye, his face tense, surely wondering if their daughter might have done what she had just described.

"And what was on paper then?" Jon asked, closing his eyes for a moment longer. He seemed afraid of the answer.

"Well... your they went back to their rooms" Dany said, watching Jon open.

"What? Lyanna?" Jon started to ask.

"... danced with Jason Arryn, Sam Tarly, Arthur Tully and Jon Tarly and shortly after we left looks like she got tired. From the Great Hall, she went to the Library and fell asleep there for over the books. Her guards sent for Gray Worm and Lady Jane Rosby to take her to her bedroom" Dany explained with mild frustration, feeling Jon's body relax.

"No surprise. And Rhaegar?" Jon asked, hugging his wife.

"Danced with Q'ira Daxos Emeros, with Lady Arianna Arryn, Lady Diana Lannister and Lady Melissa Redwyne" Dany paused. Thinking about what to say. In how to say it. "But it seems that he exaggerated a bit in the drink." Dany said. Jon, to her surprise, didn't look angry.

"Hmm. Again. Not a surprise" he said "Don't fight with Lyanna, and I won't complain about Rhaegar" Jon proposed, closing his eyes as if to sleep a little longer.

"I feel like fighting with both of them" Dany grumbled. "She sleeps in the library ... the other gets drunk and pays no attention to anyone but that foreigner princess. I need to have a talk with that boy. I don't want a daughter-in-law like her, and I'll make that clear to him" Dany continued, snorting.

"A daughter-in-law like her?" Jon asked, nibbling on Daenerys's ear, knowing damn well what is the reason for her rejection about the qarth princess.

"...that would keep an eye on her father-in-law" she explained, elbowing her ribs slightly. Jon cringed and smiled. "How would I comfort my grandchildren after I burned their mother alive?" She wondered, burying her head in the pillow.
