Tyrion smiled as he came into the room for breakfast grunting almost theatrically as he sat in the chair beside his nephew Tommen "Bread… and two of those little fish. And a mug of dark beer to wash it down…and bacon, burned black."

"Little Brother" Jaime greeted him in amused fashion as Tyrion gave them an almost joyous reply in return Cersei making sure to give him more of a small smirk than a smile before he shouted "Beloved siblings!"

"Is Bran going to die" Myrcella suddenly asked concern etched on her face as Tyrion gave his niece a reassuring look "Apparently not."

"What do you mean…" Cersei asked trying her hardest to contain her shock and concern as Tyrion sensing something was up looked at both of his sibling's expressions suspecting they knew something they had no interest in sharing with him "The Maester says the boy may live."

"...It's no mercy, letting a child linger in such pain" Cersei said trying to sound as nurturing as she could while Tyrion looked at her knowing whatever it was she was hiding wasn't good "Only the Gods know for certain, all that the rest of us can do is pray…The North seems entirely lost on you."

"I still can't believe you're going" Cersei said annoyed at his almost triumphant look "Leaving your betrothed to come back with us to King's Landing while you're up here doing who knows what, it's ridiculous even for you."

"Where's your sense of wonder?! The greatest structure ever built, the intrepid men of the Night's Watch, the wintery abode of the White Walkers" Tyrion said chuckling as he pretended to scare his nephew "…besides I think you're probably more eager than you let on to sink your claws into my intended as she will also be a valued lady at King's Landing especially with her family history."

"Tell me you're not thinking of taking the Black" Jaime said amused by his brother's mood as Tyrion shook his head scoffing "And go celibate? The whores would go begging from Dorne to Casterly Rock!...No I just want to stand on top of the Wall and piss off the edge of the world!"

"The children don't need to hear your filth" Cersei said annoyed at how vulgar Tyrion could be sometimes around her children and motioned for them to follow her pausing in the doorway before she left making sure Tyrion knew of her intentions "Come!...I don't think you could get out of this arrangement with the Targaryen girl even if you tried as father seems rather keen on keeping it permanent. Also do try to be quick on getting home brother or your soon to be wife that you come back to may no longer be a dragon, by then she might just have claws of her own."

"You might want to make that whole trip to the Wall quicker than you thought" Jaime said chuckling as he could see the hidden worry behind his brother's eyes knowing somewhere Tyrion had indeed started to care about Naerys "It really is a shame bout the boy though even if the boy lives, he'll be a cripple, a grotesque. Give me a good, clean death any day."

"Speaking for the grotesques, I'd have to disagree" Tyrion said knowing people viewed him as grotesque himself and wanted to get under his brother's skin "Death is so final, whereas life, ah…Life is full of possibilities. I hope the boy does wake, I'd be interested to hear what he has to say."

Jaime who could detect that Tyrion was trying to put the pieces together about what had truly happened to Bran tried to cover his tracks being both half serious and joking as he sighed at Tyrion "My dear brother, at times you make me wonder whose side you're on."

"My dear brother you wound me" Tyrion said knowing Jaime knew that if Tyrion really wanted to find something out he could easily put the pieces together and was like a detective easily able to solve crimes committed seeing thru most people with his mismatched colored eyes "You know how much I love my family." Leaving breakfast after that Tyrion became aware that he did worry on some level what Cersei would do to his wife to be when she was alone with her in Kings Landing and just hoped that the dragon could hold out on her own until he returned, she did seem strong enough after all.

Whatever had happened to Bran left the Starks and Naerys in a sorry state with Catelyn hanging over her sons besides like a true mother wanting to nuzzle her child back to life while Rickon being the youngest chose Naerys and Robb to cling to while Eddard prepped for becoming the new Hand of the King. Jon and Naerys since his fall had acted as though nothing had changed and Jon wasn't leaving with the two of them deciding to make use of what little time they had left together while dealing with the overwhelming feeling of despair that kept trying to take its hold on everyone. Arya was delighted that she could go with them to King's Landing and had already begun asking Naerys what stories she heard about the place so she could tune out the Septa letting her imagination run wild with thoughts of her new home.

Naerys knocked on Bran's door the day before she knew they were to depart and opened it seeing Catelyn sitting there and smiled a small sad smile to her as she came in holding a large grey quilt the mother of the wolves stopping her with a questioning gaze "My dear what have you got there?"

"I made this for Bran" Naerys explained and let the quilt open fully showing the Stark sigil sewn onto it Naerys shyly holding it up for Catelyn to see "I thought he might like sleeping with this one on him a bit better."

"…Here I'll give you a hand with it" Catelyn said standing up and helped Naerys cover Bran with it Naerys bending down and giving him a soft kiss on the forehead as Catelyn watched touched by her concern and care for her child "You know I will miss you when you go, but I always knew sooner or later you'd have to fulfill that decree the King made that's been looming over your head ever since you were little. My dear I am so grateful and glad that you were taken in by us for every day you've always been such a big help and I adore you little dragon."

It was a nickname only spoken by those who truly loved her and made Naerys smile before she softly embraced Catelyn knowing she'd truly miss the woman when she left "I'll miss you too my Mother wolf you will always be like a mother to me and I will always be glad that I was raised by you and Lord Stark." Knowing Catelyn wouldn't dare leave the room Naerys felt that her goodbye had been said and felt better now knowing that when she left for King's Landing that at least Catelyn would know how much the dragon would miss her.

Walking around with Rickon sleeping on her back wasn't exactly how Naerys wanted to run into Tyrion but with timing lately not being on her side that's exactly what happened as she approached the barns and heard Tyrion discipline his nephew.

"Better looking bitches than you're used to uncle" Joffrey said peering into the barn seeing Tyrion had fallen asleep on the ground "My mother's been looking for you, we ride for King's Landing today."

"Before you go you will get to Lord and Lady Stark and offer them your sympathies" Tyrion said standing up and brushing himself off as he walked out while Joffrey practically scoffed "What good will my sympathies do them?"

"None but it is expected of you, your absence has already been noted" Tyrion said and Naerys could sense that Tyrion knew how to handle the boy and he had dealt with Joffrey's insolence many times before the dwarf watching as Joffrey smirked "Boy means nothing to me, I can't stand the wailing of women."

Slap Naerys watched as Tyrion smacked his nephew and despite her usual reluctance to hurt a child she honestly believed the boy deserved it as Tyrion raised one of his fingers in warning "One word and I hit you again."

"I'm telling mother" Joffrey said receiving another slap form Tyrion as Naerys was inwardly chuckling a bit wondering why she found it so amusing as Tyrion continued "Go tell her but first you will get to Lord and Lady Stark and you will fall on your knees in front of them and tell them how very sorry you are, that you are at their service and your prayers are with them do you understand?"

"You can't…" Joffrey was cut off by another slap from Tyrion as he looked at him angrily "do you understand?"

Joffrey blinked for a moment in disbelief and embarrassment before walking away leaving the Hound and Tyrion alone standing there as Sandor looked over at Tyrion with an amused expression "The prince will remember that little lord."

"Hope so" Tyrion said looking frustrated but a little pleased at punishing his nephew "if he forgets be a good dog and remind him."

As he walked away Naerys softly padded behind him gently reaching out with one arm and placed a hand on his shoulder "My love are you alright?"

"…ah yes" Tyrion said a little bit shocked by her sudden appearance and concern for him her touch being gentle and sweet "Just dealing with my stubborn nephew you know because he's too pigheaded to be proper and give his sympathies to the family who will soon be his as well when he and Lady Sansa are joined. I swear that boy is still sucking on his mother's teats…pardon my language my Lady that one just slipped out."

"I've got a young boy asleep on my back" Naerys said gesturing with her thumb to Rickon who snuggled even more into her "I'm not exactly sure that's the kind of language his mother would want for him to hear, but it's alright Tyrion I've heard that language before from the older Stark boys. My knowledge of words a lady shouldn't use may surprise you."

"Oh would it" Tyrion said raising an eyebrow at her amused expression "That can be either very useful or a curse my Lady if you know when to use your words correctly."

"I do in most situations…or at least I would like to believe that I do" Naerys said walking side by side with him "I do hope your trip is eventful my love and you come back with stories to tell me when you arrive in King's Landing, I'd love to hear how the Wall is and you mustn't be afraid to tell me any grizzly details about any of the outcasts and exiles you meet while there."

"Ah you're fond of tales are you" Tyrion said smiling as Naerys nodding gazing at him with a small smile in return "Very well my lady I shall return from my trip and tell you of all the monstrous men who have been given a choice between losing their manhood or joining the gallant Night's Watch and of the crimes they committed to seal such a fate for them… While you're at King's Landing I would like to caution you about something as I don't feel being your betrothed and all that it would be right of me to just let this thing slip by."

"What is it my Lord" Naerys said becoming serious as she halted her walk standing still as he gazed up into her eyes his expression stern "I would like you while there to be wary of my sister, I know she may seem like she knows well and has the best of intentions but there is a reason my House sigil is of a lion and if you are not cautious she will sink her claws into you."

"…I find your concern touching my love and well founded" Naerys said truly touched by his concern as she felt Tommen shift on her back finally waking up "I do believe if I was told right it was my family that was had the most murdered by yours and your father affectionately called them Dragonspawn after the deed was done. Though I know you my Lord and believe that you would never hurt me that took years for us to build this kind of confidence between the two of us if you recall correctly. So yes I would not even if someone paid me to try and sway my own personal need for conservation would so easily trust a Lannister. You are the only exception to that truth my love and it is because you are both my intended and in some regards a friend to me."

"You hold me as a friend" Tyrion said disbelief on his face as Naerys nodded and gave him a small bow Tyrion in a sudden impulsive act of gratefulness took one of her hands a placed a soft kiss on the back of it a smile breaking forth from his face that he knew would not be extinguished for some time "That is good to hear my lady I am glad that you are not so timid of me like you used to be when you were a child and that I have earned some of your trust. I will return whenever I grow bored of the Wall which I'm certain won't be too long but while I'm gone yes do try to caution yourself the last thing I would want is for harm to come to you."

"Eddard Stark will be serving as the King's Hand" Naerys said nodding as she agreed with his statement though knowing she would indeed caution herself "If there would be any harm brought to me I'm sure he'd immediately find justice for me, I am after all almost like a wolf." The two separating with their conversation concluded Naerys left Rickon with a septa while she went to make sure her bags were packed as she knew soon she would indeed be having to leave the only home she'd ever known.

Seeing the two brother's embrace Naerys smiled as she came towards the two and softly embraced Robb after Jon had pulled back trying to hide the tears that wanted to spill forth as he crushed her against his chest being taller than her despite her two year advance on him "I will miss you Robb, I promise I'll write and take care of Sansa and Arya while your father is busy with his duties as the Hand of the King."

"You'd do that for me" Robb said chuckling as Naerys nodded and he softly in a brotherly manner placed a kiss upon her cheek grateful that she was like a sibling to him "Even with your impending marriage to the Imp I can't say I'm not surprised that you would go out of your way to look after my sisters."

"Don't call him an imp" Naerys said wrinkling her nose slightly offended but also amused knowing Robb was just joking the boy not as harsh as he seemed and gently squeezed one of his hands "Of course I'd look after them Robb they are like family to me as well and a dragon or a wolf looks after their pack…or brood I suppose in a dragon's case."

"Are you about ready Naerys" Jon said bringing out her beautiful white stallion having already put a saddle on for her "I wanted to ride up with you and see the rest of you off safely."

"Well aren't you just a gentlemen" Naerys said causing Jon to flush a bit at her obvious jesting and took his outstretched hand as he help hoist her up onto her horse "You ready to depart with Benjen for the Wall?"

"Yes he seems rather excited to have someone he knows more personally joining the Watch I guess" Jon said as he and her started to make their horses trot towards the others "Though I am quite curious why your intended decided to come on the journey with us."

"He wants to see the Wall I'm guessing because he wants to do some explorning" Naerys said wrinkling her nose in amusement at Jon's slight distrust with Tyrion which she could understand as the confidence she had in Tyrion even if it was a little bit was due to them exchanging letters over the years becoming closer to each other thru the shared words and Naerys laughed when she thought she truly caught on to why Tyrion was going causing Jon to glance over at her in confusion "It might actually be because he wants to anger his family who will surely be annoyed if he stays up there too long, oh the clever man he is."

Leaving Eddard to speak to Jon alone Naerys got next to Arya on her horse and smiled at the younger girl who chuckled nodding as Naerys gently stroked her horses mane ready to leave. She saw Tyrion and Benjen out in the distance and waved to them watching as Tyrion gave her a sly wink then turning back to his horse ready to leave.

"So we depart" Arya said as the others began to move and Naerys chuckled muttering under her breath "I thought this day would never come…onward to King's Landing."

Exciting the tavern they had been staying at Naerys stretched a bit when she heard the sound of a cry and shouting her legs taking her towards the sound as she ran worriedly and came upon Sansa who looked rather distraught. "Sansa my dear one what has happened" Naerys said placing a hand on the girl's shoulder making Sansa spin around looking at her with tears and fear filled eyes "What happened?"

"Arya's wolf Nymeria she bit Joffrey" Sansa said making Naerys eyes widen in worry knowing the mother lion wouldn't be very happy about it "She ran off and I just I don't know what to do."

"Where is the prince now" Naerys asked and Sansa gestured to the clearing behind her as Naerys took in a deep breath to center herself before looking at Sansa with a stern look "I want you to go and tell the Queen about this do you understand, I will go and see if I can help the prince."

Sansa nodded before running off leaving Naerys to step into the clearing and saw the prince sitting there cradling his hand his eyes fearful as she sat down a bit of distance between them as she rummaged through her leather pouch "May I see the wound young prince?"

"What" Joffrey said confused by her sudden question and hesitantly turned his palm face up and held it out towards her "That beastly thing hurt me, it needs to be killed!"

"Keep calm my prince it's not as bad as it looks" Naerys said and took out a small piece of cloth dipping into the stream behind her before she knelt forward and gently started dabbing at the wound watching as the prince winced and whimpered "Not as bad as it looks you say she nearly took my hand off!"

"There most of it is cleaned" Naerys said to herself not really listening to him knowing the prince was feeling ashamed of himself probably wanting to cling to his mother at that moment as she pulled a jar of salve out and popping it open gently began to run it over the wound making Joffrey stiffen in worry "What is that stuff!"

"It's ointment made from natural herbs it'll help the wound heal better and faster" Naerys explained as she then pulled out a piece of white fabric and softly began to bandage his wound.

(Yes Ned taught her how to use basic first aid in Westeros and gave her a bag of some supplies for if someone was ever wounded Naerys usually using it for the Stark boys when they do something silly and injure themselves. She isn't a huge fan of Joffrey though don't get me wrong.)

"What happened" Cersei screamed coming into the clearing as she saw Joffrey on the ground beside Naerys "What happened to my son?!"

"That thing bit me" Joffrey screamed waving his good hand around for show "That wolf girl's beast attacked me!"

"There you go my prince" Naerys said practically tuning out the exchange between mother and son and stood up offering her hand watching as Joffrey after inspecting his hand apparently satisfied with how she had treated it placed his hand in hers obviously forgetting his pride at the moment and allowed her to hoist him back onto his feet.

Cersei who had seen the exchange between the two didn't know what to make of it as here was the girl who's family hers had killed and who was set to marry her brother and yet here she was assisting her son who had the worst of personalities. Here she was showing him kindness the delicate bandaging on his hand showing that Naerys knew binding it too tight would hurt him so she had been gentle.

"I want that thing killed mother" Joffrey demanded as he walked over to her no doubt to seek comfort "It almost took my hand off!"

Seeing that the others came over and were looking at Joffrey worriedly Naerys walked over and gave Ned a nod knowing something terrible was going to be done but she had done her part and softly approached Sansa placing a hand on the girl's shoulder as she leaned in and whispered "He will be your husband someday Sansa please know I only did that for you, I don't care what really happened or if he was actually the beast he keeps screaming about because that does not matter to me. He will someday be your husband so I want him to not feel such hatred towards me or you because we will someday be members of his family. You though are what's most important to me my little wolf not him, I will always try my best to assist you."

Kicking around in her sleep Naerys could feel herself sweating as the dream she had was both bizarre and vivid the true torment and agony she could feel as outside Ned prepared to kill Lady.

Naerys blinked looking at her surroundings and walked thru what almost looked like a swamp area the warm air making her hair and clothes stick to her body making her feel gross as she continued on her steps making small splashes as she navigated the area around her. Crying out in shock Naerys came upon a huge skeleton the sight of it halting her movements for a moment before curiosity took ahold of her and blinking she went closer to inspect the bones a gasp escaping her when she realized what lay before her "A dragon!"

Hearing an almost crying noise Naerys turned around her eyes widening as a small baby dragon glanced up at her the deep violet color of the dragon's eyes beautiful and haunting just like her own before it made a squeal and she could've sworn she heard the small thing mutter "Mother!" The dragon was a deep crimson red with a golden underside and the underside of its wings was also a beautiful golden color and on its head in the middle and going do

wn slightly onto its neck was a beautiful crest of golden skin colored raised up almost as if the dragon had its very own crown. The dragon not getting any response from her lowered its crest as if saddened and Naerys feeling a sense of affection towards the dragon lowered herself to her knees and held out her hand watching as the dragon sniffed her hand before softly licking at her fingers softly and with care the dragons behavior similar to that of her own with a nurturing sense.

"Mother" she thought she heard the dragon say again when the dragon began to wail as if in pain and Naerys sunk to her knees overcome by a wall of pain herself crying out as she reached towards the dragon barely touching its head when everything went black. Sitting up in bed Naerys released a cry into the night as Ned ended Lady's life the feeling of sadness and despair flying over everything as in Winterfell Bran blinked his eyes awake knowing that something was coming.

Reading a book Tyrion looked up as they brought some men who were obviously captured criminals and needed to be fed.

"Ah, rapers. They were given a choice, no doubt: castration, or the Wall. Most choose the knife" He smiled as he watched Jon look away "Not impressed with your new brothers? Lovely thing about the Watch, you discard your old family and get a whole new one."

"Why do you read so much" Jon said causing Tyrion to practically scoff as he didn't look up the halfman speaking " Look at me and tell me what you see"

"Is this a trick" Jon asked honestly unsure about the dwarf finding that what little time they had spent together gave him the indication he would be okay for Naerys as he wouldn't hurt her but he might be bored of her easily which worried Jon as Tyrion smiled looking at him finally "What you see is a dwarf If I had been born a peasant, they might've left me out in the woods to die. Alas, I was born a Lannister of Casterly Rock. Things are expected of me. My father was the Hand of the King for twenty years…"

"Until your brother killed that King who was Naerys father" Jon pointed out interrupting him causing Tyrion's smile to wane into a more forced one "Yes until my brother killed him… Life is full of these little ironies. My sister married the new King, and my repulsive nephew will be King after him. I must do my part, for the honor of my House. Wouldn't you agree?"

At Jon's stare Tyrion continued satisfied so far with the conversation "But how? Well, my brother has his sword, and I have my mind…and a mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone. That's why I read so much, Jon Snow...And you? What's your story, bastard?"

"...Ask me nicely, and maybe I'll tell you, dwarf" Jon said slightly amused at the conversation while Tyrion who had glanced back down at his book looked up again at the boy with a smile again "A bastard boy with nothing to inherit, off to join the ancient Order of the Night's Watch. Alongside his valiant brothers-in-arms."

"The Night's Watch protects the realm from…" Jon started slightly offended as Tyrion interrupted him with a smirk chuckling slightly " Ah yes yes against grumpkins and snarks, and all the other monsters your wet-nurse warned you about! You're a smart boy, you don't believe all that nonsense."

Ghost suddenly went rigid and Jon looked over at the wolf as Ghost looked into his eyes with worry and Jon felt himself suddenly overcome with worry "Something's happened…Naerys."

"What about Naerys" Tyrion said looking at the boy curiously as Ghost and Jon continue to keep their eyes locked "What do you think has happened to her?"

"I don't know why I feel it" Jon said looking away from Ghost trying to get the feeling to go away as he felt a shiver in his spine "Whatever it is though she's in some sort of distress, Ghost only has ever acted like that when someone is in distress."

"Why do you think it's Naerys" Tyrion asked standing up book forgotten for now as Jon shrugged looking at him with a small smile "She's the only dragon I know and I could've sworn I saw a dragon in Ghost's eyes just now."

"Curious" Tyrion said looking around them trying to ignore that he was now anxious about the possibility that she could be in distress despite believing the boy to be talking nonsense "But we don't know if she really is now do we?"

"No we don't" Jon said looking away and petted Ghost deciding to end the conversation "Could be just a bunch of nonsense, she might not even me in any danger anyways…I just hope she's okay if she is."

"You make no sense Jon Snow" Tyrion said making the boy give him a small glare "Visions or what not we cannot know if Naerys truly is in danger but I would suggest you drop the subject before one of these men hears you talking about your feelings and gets the wrong impression." Jon stiffened with concern as he realized the truth behind Tyrion's words and the dwarf had to contain himself from laughing at the boy's embarrassed expression knowing that things truly were more entertaining than he'd thought they'd be out here at the Wall.

Naerys had been struck with a small fever after Lady's death and had been watched over by Eddard like a hawk which surely had pissed the King off as he still hated her and saw no need for her to live. Despite being somewhat sickly Naerys had still insisted on still riding after taking a drought that would hopefully help with the fever and they finally did arrive in King's Landing just about right on time. Arriving Naerys had been cautioned by Eddard to not show her face to the King as much and try to stay as inconspicuous as she could Naerys' agreeing with him knowing how much the King hated her and now probably was even more of a threat to her as she was now living in his home.

Deciding to go for a stroll Naerys hummed to herself as she walked around the Red Keep smiling at the place as she explored the halls wondering how it must have been for her parents to live in such a place when a man stopped in front of her giving her a small smile.

"Hello my lady" the man said looking around cautiously before giving her a small bow "My name is Barristan Selmy and I've been wandering when I would see you again Lady Naerys Targaryen."

"Ser Barristan Selmy isn't it" Naerys said her eyes clouding over in wonder before a smile broke out onto her face "You're the same man who fought with my brother Rhaegar during the Battle of the Trident, you tried to protect my family."

"Yes and I'm sorry I failed my only consolation is knowing you and your siblings are still alive" Barristan said and took the girls arm walking with her as he spoke softly "You surprise me by being here my lady I had thought you would know better than to be here where the King is."

"I have come from Winterfell to finally be wed to Tyrion Lannister" Naerys explained shyly as Barristan looked at her a bit in disbelief as she nodded "Yes the rumors are true we have been intended for each other ever since I was little."

"So they take you the last remaining Targaryen in Westeros and have you wed to a Lannister" Barristan said his voice deepening with anger "Have they no respect for your family at all?"

"No it would appear not" Naerys said looking at the man with a sad smile "It could be much worse Ser Barristan I could've been given to someone who would torture me instead, Tyrion may be a Lannister but he is kind…He will not hurt me." "Of course my lady I apologize" Ser Barristan said bowing as he went to take his leave "I'm afraid I must be off now I have some business to attend to I shall see you later."

"Alright" Naerys said watching as he walked off wondering if she had offended him in any way when a new voice was heard and Naerys turned with a startled gasp to see Jaime Lannister standing there with a smirk as he came closer towards her like a lion to catch its prey and Naerys feeling her heart beat increase stayed still.

"Glad to see you are unharmed so far I do think my brother wouldn't be able to forgive himself is something happened to you especially with your wedding so close" Jaime said but Naerys could see he might not be being entirely genuine and blinked as he held out his arm uncertainty filling her "My lady are you trying to insult me?"

"No of course not" Naerys said finally looping her arm with his and walked with him as he suddenly take a turn and she realized they were in the throne room which was surprisingly empty Jaime's smirk widening as he pointed to the Iron Throne "He was sitting right there."

"Who was" Naerys questioned her eyes narrowing suspiciously as Jaime pointed "Your father was sitting right there when I stabbed him thru the back with my sword and that's where he died."

Choking for a moment as she lost her breath in horror Naerys felt the walls closing in around her as she felt herself panicking and looked up at Jaime who glanced down at her with a knowing look obviously taking delight in her state of distress and leaned down softly placing a kiss upon her cheek. Closing her eyes in disgust at the action Naerys wanted to push him away and run back to her apartment she had been given when she heard him whisper in her ear

"Never again will another Targaryen sit on that throne I will make sure of it, you are my brother's intended and that will make you a lion…Soon you will be one of us, instead of a dragon."

Blinking her eyes open Naerys felt herself wanting to leave and gave Jaime a small bow as she looked at him with a stern but calm expression having taught herself to try not to show fear "I thank you for the walk Ser Jaime but I'm afraid I must return back to my quarters now."

"Of course my lady" Jaime said his stature telling her he knew he had frightened her "Until we meet again."

Her room had never looked so good despite being just boring red in color everywhere and closing the door behind her hearing the sound of her heartbeat Naerys felt that she couldn't of gotten back to her room any faster and wondered how long she could hide her before anyone found out deciding she needed to stay in a safe haven for now so she could calm herself down. She would eventually leave her room again she would just need time to gather herself for Naerys wasn't so easily shaken to the core, she would be back again walking around the Red Keep soon and wouldn't let their words affect her because this little dragon someday would breathe fire.
