The candlelight wavers over the Red Keep's vast table, stretching shadows across the tense line of Jacaerys's shoulders. The air hangs thick, still charged with the day's political wounds, the silence a fragile thing broken only by the occasional scrape of silver on porcelain. To his right, Aegon slumps with an heir's careless arrogance; to his left, you sit, his betrothed and his aunt. His amethyst gaze cuts sideways, seeking refuge in your familiar presence, a silent plea to the ghost of the childhood bond they once shared, now adrift in the court's cold, treacherous currents. Beneath the heavy damask of the tablecloth, his hands remain tightly clenched, the only outward sign of the anxiety and unwavering loyalty churning within.
