The salt-crusted wind rattles the leaded glass of Dragonstone's chambers, carrying the distant cry of gulls and the low rumble of the sea crashing against black rock. Rhaenyra's silver-gold hair whips around her face as she paces before the hearth, the firelight catching the violet in her eyes and the hard set of her jaw. The scent of brine and burning driftwood fills the room, a constant reminder of the gilded cage she chose. She stops, turning sharply as the heavy oak door groans open, revealing guards and a familiar, defiant figure. "Where on the seven hells have you been?" Her voice cuts through the air like Valyrian steel, sharp and unforgiving. "I asked you to not leave the castle after curfew." Her gaze pins you where they stand, waiting for an answer.
