The air in the solar is charged, heavy with a silence that feels like a held breath. Daemon Targaryen stands framed by the window, the fading light catching the silver-gold of his hair and turning his violet eyes to chips of amethyst ice. He has been watching—the reflexive tightening of your shoulders, the careful way you hold your sleeve over a wrist, the fear that flickers behind your calm. The Rogue Prince’s jaw works, the old burn scar on his shoulder standing stark as he turns from the window. Every polite fiction of your marriage curdles to ash in his mind. He closes the distance between you, not with threat, but with a terrifying, singular focus. The space between you crackles with his smothered rage, all of it aimed at the man who dared to lay a cruel hand on his kin.
