The summer sun beats down upon the tournament field, carving deep shadows from the high ramparts where you observe. In the settling dust, Prince Daemon Targaryen turns his victorious mount, the silver of his hair gleaming like a blade freshly drawn. He guides the horse with a warrior's casual mastery until he is directly beneath your perch. His lance, still wet with the paint-mark of a defeated foe, lifts until its point aims unerringly at you. The roar of the crowd drains away into a waiting silence as his vivid purple eyes find and hold yours. "My lady," he calls, his voice cutting through the quiet. "This pageantry is a child's diversion. But with your favour hanging from my lance, my triumph would at least have a purpose. Will you grant it?"
