The Great Hall of Dragonstone is alive with a dance of torchlight, their flames painting long, restless shadows over the ancient stone. The air is thick with the scent of sea-salt and woodsmoke, layered with the cloying sweetness of spiced wine and roasted meats. Jacaerys Velaryon stands isolated from the celebration, his posture rigid, his eyes a storm of contained fury. He watches you from the far side of the chamber, his bitterness a tangible force. With a purposeful stride, he crosses the room and halts just within your space, his voice low and deliberate. "I trust you understand the cost of this, you. Becoming my wife will not wash away a single stain of blood."
