Who: Daenerys Targaryen
Broadcast: Fleetwide video.
Action: She can be found on the Hospitality Deck of the Marsiva if anyone wants to find her wandering around.
When: Today!

[Daenerys hadn't even had fortnight to settle in, to take in the situation she's found herself in. One moment she was in the almost safety of Drogon's company and the next she was surrounded by Dothraki. Now? She was.... looking at a strange speaking device? She learned enough that people could communicate with it, but not enough right away on how to do so herself. It takes her a moment to figure it out and when she finally does, her violet eyes are still wide with concern on the video feed. Once she realizes it's working, she tries to go for a more calm and assertive outward appearance.]

To think that such a place would be capable of stealing so many from their homes. I can't imagine the ransom they'd be seeking. I wish to speak to whoever thought it wise to attempt such a feat and if any others can provide valuable information, mayhap you'll receive a reward from me in return.

[Mostly her eternal gratitude, given that she had little else on her person in the way of money. Carefully, she tucks a stray silver lock behind her ear. She wanted to ask where Drogon was and yet she knew outright asking her captors where they'd taken her dragon might be too foolish of a thing to attempt.]

Comments

[heavenonearth]

[ well she's certainly a striking thing, isn't she? ]

Sorry to say it, but it's doubtful you'll get in touch with anyone important. Seems we're not worth the time.

[ not anything he isn't particularly accustomed to, anyway. can't ever trust the big guys upstairs. ]

Information, I can do. At least a bit. You're on a big ship called the Marsiva at the moment, but you'll be shuffled off soon enough. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the food while you can.

[moonofmylife]

I should think the food would be the least of my worries.

[She's still half convinced it's poisoned or tampered with, but she's been assured that wouldn't be any fun for the higher ups.]

Where do they mean to send me? Another ship in the fleet?

[heavenonearth]

You'd think that, 'til you're stuck with the food on the ships.

[ food is always a worry, as far as he's concerned. ]

But yeah, you got it. You'll end up on one of these smaller ships. It's random, but from what I hear, you can move around if you don't like where you've been assigned.

[moonofmylife]

We can move from ship to ship but we can't go home.

[Is this the universe's way of telling her she wasn't going to be sitting on the Iron Throne? How frustrating.]

[heavenonearth]

[ a bit more softly - ] I know.

I'm sure you've got important things to get back to, but hey, chin up, right? Anything that has an entrance has an exit. We'll get there.

[ that he's not really keen on getting home himself is, you know, irrelevant. ]

[moonofmylife]

I do- and something of mine is missing. It was with me when I was home but now it's not. He-

[She nearly slips up but catches herself.]

I need to find it.

[Drogon might be large and fully capable of fending for himself but she felt so disconnected without him. It had been hard enough locking Rhaegal and Viserion away but Drogon had been her last connection to her dragons. She was completely cut off now.]

[heavenonearth]

Weapon or something? Seems like anything dangerous was stripped from us before we arrived.

[ he might not have a cool dragon child, but he sure didn't feel right without his gun and his blade, that's for sure. though that's not really the same kind of pining she's experiencing. ]

[moonofmylife]

Or something.

[She almost considers telling him nothing and then -]

A dragon. My dragon.

[heavenonearth]

Dragon, huh?

[ cas hasn't known too many of those, but he's not unfamiliar with their existence, either. ]

Not surprised to hear it, though. From what I hear, those things pack quite a punch, and they seem pretty intent on keeping us pacified. But I'm sorry you had to be separated from your.. friend.

[moonofmylife]

Drogon isn't just a friend. I hatched him myself. He's one of my children.

[Pursing her lips is all she can do to bite down the anger that rises up, making her chest feel tight.]

[heavenonearth]

[ .. well, some added mix-up here, considering the dragons on earth have a humanoid appearance - or at least, are able to disguise themselves that way, so he's just going to have to assume that she's a dragon, too. ]

.. ah. Well, no wonder you're angry, then.

[ hell hath no fury like a.. mother scorned, after all. or something like that. ]

Wish I could say there's something I could do to help. Maybe if you blow a few holes in their ship they'll give you some attention, though uh, I guess I shouldn't be advising that, really.

[moonofmylife]

Drogon would be more able to 'blow holes in the ship' as you put it. I am not quite so capable as all that.

[He is right, though. Hell hath no fury like a mother scorned and this mother was bound and determined to get her dragon back. Sadly she's only a dragon in blood and name only, not appearance. She can withstand scalding waters and scorching fires but that's about it, other than somewhat controlling her dragons.]

[heavenonearth]

No? Why's that? Lose your spark?

[ he has no idea how dragons work, but hey, if angels can lose their grace, maybe dragons can lose their fire. ]

[moonofmylife]

He can breathe fire and rip men to pieces. I possess no such abilities,. I merely command and inspire others to do so for me.

[She might have an army... somewhere... just not here sadly]

[heavenonearth]

[ ah okay, so maybe not a dragon. just friends to dragons. or.. surrogate mother, in this case. fair enough. ]

Well, that's just as convenient an ability, in most cases. Perhaps a bit too slow-acting though, to be of much use to you right now, I suppose.

[moonofmylife]

Unfortunately, yes. Not that I plan to have anyone gelded anytime soon. Though I suppose being able to command someone to do such things would be useful if the occasion ever arose.

[She's mostly joking. Sort of. If any Lannisters showed up, you bet she'd have them gelded.]

[heavenonearth]

[ woah pulling out the big guns eh, scary dragon mom. ]

Yeah uh, gelding isn't the best way to make friends, I don't think, especially if you don't have that dragon to back you up. At any rate, I'm sure you'll manage. It's not so terrible here. At least, not so far.

[moonofmylife]

[Gelding might be a bit extreme. But hey whatever scares her enemies, right?]

No, it won't make me friends I'd imagine. Do you like it here?

[Because so far she's more focused on going home, instead of settling in.]

[heavenonearth]

[ hey yeah well, fear tactics are definitely a thing, and they sure do get the job done. ]

Me? .. well, yeah, I mean, I guess I do. Sure beats home, that's for sure. I've got no complaints.

[moonofmylife]

You don't want to return home?

[That's a first today.]

Would be inconsiderate to ask why?

[heavenonearth]

[ he chuckles, soft and quiet. ]

Nah. I mean, not when you put it so considerately. Where I come from is just, uh, kind of unpleasant, is all. And the food here is way better.
