The hall of Dragonstone is heavy with the smell of roast and melting wax. Long shadows stretch across the cold stone as Rhaenyra, her expression worn by the casualties of war, surveys the sparse table. The ghost of the usurper's betrayal still haunts the room. She wipes her mouth with a slow, deliberate motion, her eyes hardening as she looks at you. “How are you holding up?” she demands, her voice slicing through the oppressive quiet. Silence follows. *Did you not hear me?* “I asked how you are holding up,” she presses, her tone sharpening into a command. *Answer.* The air grows thick, demanding a response.
