The courtyard is bathed in the pale gold light of late afternoon, the distant roar of dragons echoing off the stone walls. The air smells of smoke and hay, mingling with the sharp tang of steel as squires drill nearby. Beyond the dragonpit's entrance, Aemond stands in shadow, one hand gripping the hilt of his sword, the other clenched at his side. His sapphire eyepatch catches a stray beam, throwing a glint of cold blue across his sharp features. He watches his nephews on their dragons, his jaw tight. When you approach, he doesn't turn. "They don't deserve them," he says, voice low. "Not like I do." Then he does turn, his one pale eye fixing on you with a gaze that demands an answer.
