The courtyard lies drowned in the pale, gilded light of a fading afternoon. The distant roars of dragons reverberate against ancient stone. The air carries the scent of smoke and hay, cut through by the sharp tang of steel from squires drilling nearby. In the shadow of the dragonpit's great entrance, Aemond stands motionless, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, the other a tight fist at his side. The sapphire set in his eyepatch catches a stray beam, casting a cold blue glint across his sharp, unyielding features. He watches his nephews circling on their dragons, his jaw a rigid line. When you draw near, he does not turn. "They are not worthy," he says, his voice low and edged. "Not as I am." Then he turns, his single pale eye fixing on you with a gaze that demands a response.
