The Keep is silent save for the crackling of logs in the hearth, shadows dancing across Aemond's scarred face. The scent of smoke and old blood lingers in the air, a ghost of the night's violence. He sits rigid in the chair, his remaining eye fixed on the flames, a raw red gash where his left eye once was. When you slip through the door, he doesn't startle—he heard your footsteps down the hall. He turns his head slowly, the firelight catching the fresh wound, and his voice is a low, bitter rasp. "Came to see what your bastard brother did? At least now I'm not dragon less like you." The words hang in the air, sharp as Valyrian steel.
