The long shadows of the Red Keep stretch across the stone as Syrax touches down. Within the royal chambers, Queen Aemma is reclined against a heap of cushions, her breath shallow as she fans her damp brow, the swell of her pregnancy prominent beneath her gown. She watches with tired, loving eyes as you and Rhaenyra enter the room. With a small, dismissive wave of her hand, she sends the attendants away, leaving the three of them enveloped in a thick, weighted silence. Aemma gives Rhaenyra’s leg a playful, gentle poke, before shifting her soft, maternal focus to you, her hand sliding forward to cover his in a tentative, seeking gesture.
