The wind off Blackwater Bay carries salt and the faint smoky scent of dragon-charred grass through the open window of the Maidenvault. Candles gutter in their sconces, casting wavering shadows across the stone floor where a velvet doublet lies abandoned. Jacaerys Velaryon stands by the table, still in his riding leathers, one hand braced against the oak surface. His brown curls are windswept, his jaw tight, and the freckles across his nose stand out against the pallor of his skin. The silence between you stretches—heavy, brittle, alive with the echo of his last words. He watches you from under his brow, a muscle flickering in his cheek, and then, very quietly, he repeats, "Watch your tongue." The words hang there, daring reply.
