Eyes laid upon the innocent babe swaddled in bundles.

The hard knight couldn't help but break a smile after deafening silence.

〝 'Spose you've become a mother after all . 〞

A large looming finger , damaged and dirty — caressed the soft cheek of the child playfully .

A moment of silence.

Before she motioned to the bundle in her arms, a babe.

“. . . This is Daeron. He was orphaned in the blast.”

The Targaryens can never catch a break.

It is unfortunate that he was standing here , hoping to hear that she had been betrothed to someone who made her happy and that her family had finally figured their family issues out like normal people but only to be greeted by this .

Her grandfather died. Valarr is King now. A Greyjoy kidnapped her sister, there was a trial by combat where he killed his own brother after trying to kill Valarr.

And then someone attacked the city. A wildfyre explosion. It injured Valarr’s wife Maris, and killed and injured +

He partly expected her to forget all about him , never figured he'd be worth rememberin' is all .
