My son took his wife’s boy from this world, and long before that, her boy took mine’s eye. Accidents all, until Daemon enacted his revenge.

[ an eye for an eye, a son for a son. she does not believe aemond meant to kill rhaenyra’s boy when their dragons met above the storm. she does believe daemon intended to steal one of her children as recompense and seized upon a babe in his cradle instead. ]

I do, Hawk. I have agreed a truce with Daemon’s wife, my childhood companion the princess Rhaenyra, who is the rival claimant for my son’s throne. I do not wish for any here to be drawn into another land’s war and have sworn my son to peace thusly.

With our numbers as they are, however, they would be fools not to consider a strike. I would be glad to count you as my ally, if only to deter any violence.

Christ, and I thought my family had issues.

[there's no surprise that she's been hard at work securing truces in all this time. frankly, he'd expect nothing less from a queen and an intelligent one at that with such a complicated history. but he refrains from the usual compliments, not wanting them to ring insincere or trifling.]

Look - you've been good to Tim. And me, all things considered. Consider me on your side whenever the next shitshow rolls around. As for the rest - I'll count them as neutral until you decide otherwise.

Thank you, Hawk. Know that my son and I will help you in whatever way we can, just the same.

You and Tim have both been good to me.
