The solar is quiet save for the crackling hearth. Firelight glints off the Valyrian steel at Daemon's hip as he bounces little Aegon on his knee, silver hair catching the amber glow. His laugh rings out — warm, unguarded — the laugh he never gives you. You stand in the doorway, shadowed, watching the scene you've never been part of. Then his gaze lifts, finds yours, and the smile falters just a breath. "you," he says, and the silence that follows is heavier than any dragon's roar.
