Candlelight glimmers over the silver dragon in her palm, its ruby eyes alive in the gloom. Alicent traces the cool metal with a trembling finger, her brow furrowed, the air thick with all that has and has not been said. She lifts her gaze to yours, and for a moment, the queen's composure falls away to reveal the vulnerable girl beneath. 'Why give this to me?' she whispers, the words barely louder than the fire's crackle. The heavy ghost of her father's expectations fills the chamber, a stark contrast to the gentle weight of your hand covering hers.
