[Dany hasn't been immune to the gift giving tree either. There was a level of contained joy that she felt, being in possession of a reasonably sized dragon egg. It rested in one of her arms, cradled against her as she addressed the network at large.]

It seems that this world holds magic enough to be willing to gift many with things they desire - seemingly animals if others results are taken into account. I have been gifted with one of my children - my dragons were mentioned by Lord Tyrion's informative history lesson of the Great Houses of Westeros and my House's heraldry happens to be a three headed dragon. Back home I possessed three individual dragons and the tree has seen fit to gift me with one of them as a kindness, it seems. That aside, it stands to reason that other parts of this planet hold similar properties but, at present, I am purely speculating. Should anyone have found any evidence of such, I'd like to hear it.

[She won't get greedy and ask for all three of her dragons but so far the egg in her arms looks quite similar to Drogon's. She's not so sure just yet if that is the case but it would be nice to see him again - whatever shape he came in.]

Planetside

[Dany can be found out and about, her dragon's egg tucked safely inside a satchel away from harm or prying eyes. She was stopping to purchase various wares - supplies to make clothes and such with Qing, food for herself and her soon-to-be-born dragon, and toys for the local children.

Eventually, if one doesn't catch her there, she can be found relaxing in the hot springs, Drogon floating in the water beside her. If one accidentally walked in on her bath they could catch her there as well, or perhaps join her. The scalding water was perfect and enough to sap any stress away from the most weary of travelers.]

S.S. Caprine

[Dany can be found on the Bridge, reclining in the Captain's Chair with Drogon resting in her lap. The egg glittered in the light, black as the midnight sea with scarlet flecks that reflected off the surface. It was warm to the touch and seemed to practically vibrate with life. He would be born into the world anew, though not nearly as fierce was Daenerys' hope. Drogon was comparatively as menacing as Balerion the Black Dread but as a small thing he wouldn't be nearly as destructive.

If anyone aboard the ship might stop to report to her or to see her for personal matters they would have a glimpse of the egg. To Dany he was perfect and she was completely enamored with her unborn child, waiting for his arrival with a contained excitement.]

Well, that will be something to see...

[He breaths out, his gaze starting to gleam just at the thought of watching a dragon grow. Like all his childhood dreams coming to life.]

You are more than welcome to see him when he hatches, Lord Tyrion.

[She she smiles, remembering him saying how you wanted to see a dragon in person.]

You aren't the only admirer he seems to have either. I'm not sure whether or not to start keeping a guard on him just in case, before he hatches. I have no idea how much eggs fetch here but I know they would have been highly sought after back home.

[You know since her brother tried to steal them once upon a time. :|]

I shall make all due effort to do so.

[He smiles in turn, before one eyebrow raised in surprise.]

Hmmm. I think you're right. Have you coin, my Queen? There are plenty here who would like to work at something, and being a bodyguard to a dragon would be an honor on it's own.

I have not made any negotiations of coin just yet, but I trust the crew of the Caprine. They are good people.

[Though she doesn't want to be too trusting. Hopefully it wouldn't be a problem.]

For now he stays close to me.

[Because that was where he should be - near his mother.]

Good ... good. Just, be cautious. I think it wise you keep Drogon with you. And remember, if you need me, I am but a call away.

[A quirk of the lips.] Even though I might just be bartering with others to save you both.

Oh? Who would these 'others' be?

[Tyrion are you going to hire people gosh mister protective much? Still she feels pleased that he cares so deeply. Honestly she's never had someone in her counsel that she cared for this much since Jorah and that was an incredibly sore spot she wouldn't dwell on for too long.]

...People of great discretion and whom I trust implicitly with my very important charge -- and of course, My Queen.

[He put one hand to his chest and bowed, smiling once more.]

I'll take your word for it. I do trust your judgement, though that doesn't extend to the rest of the fleet so readily. In fact, the admirer I mentioned resides aboard the same ship as you. A strange fellow he was, but I refused him despite your acquaintance. Hawke, I believe his name was?

[She's incredibly wary of strangers asking after that exchange. So far he's been the only one. She was trying not to be fearful someone might abscond the egg and sell it.]

Well, I am pleased that you trust me - and am pleased that you are smart enough to realize that some people are not what they seem. [A pause, and then a snort.] Ah yes, Hawke. He is ... well. He is a good man with good intentions, but no. I would not ask him to guard the egg.

I trust you because you've earned it. You've been kind to me and you've helped me to understand a few things about home... about the people that I wish to rule.

[Is it warm in here? Maybe a little. Damn it somehow he has that effect on her.]

And thus far I think you're the only friend I have from Westeros here in the fleet. I want to trust those that you trust as well.

[She wants to say that he's more to her than that but somehow she doesn't want to communicate the wrong idea. Still, he means a great deal to her. His knowledge has helped her to understand a few things and talking to Theon has helped her too. While she wants to rally the kingdoms beneath her she also doesn't want to force them to do it. The North especially was proud. If they could come to some sort of arrangement perhaps they could keep their sovereignty and the Iron Islands could do the same.]

[Well, she might not be the only one who suddenly looks ... ah, slightly flushed. He looks down at his hands, a quick and quiet smile flickering across his scarred face and through his mis-matched eyes. Then he looks up at her.]

It means a great deal to me, to be your friend, and your confidante. Above anything else, I value that as much as I value anything else in this world, or ours. I value you.

[Now, he's going to clear his throat, because he did want to say something wrong at the wrong time, and he has to avoid that. She is not ready and he's not entirely certain he is ready for her not being ready.]

As for the people I trust ... you will know them when I have brought them to you. There are a few, a precious few, that I would bring into our circle of trust. Because they have earned it.

[I value you... Oh Gods why did things have to be so defined? She'd wanted to repay Jorah's feelings towards her when he'd kissed her but chose to not do it. In the end he'd wound up betraying her from the beginning. It hurt but truly Tyrion had never once betrayed her. Didn't he deserve something? And yet she didn't know that she could give him anything more than her friendship. She wanted to and yet she felt herself hesitate.]

You're always putting my thoughts and needs first... truly, I appreciate it very much. I appreciate that you're careful with me, that you don't trust others blindly.

[None of her advisors had truly steered her wrong in that regard. Jorah had always been cautious too. Ser Barristan had coached her some but Tyrion had given her parts of her history that she'd never seen or known before. He made her feel as if she truly could go to Westeros and find her home there.]

I do have a request, while we're on the subject of your work - could I have one of those garden boxes that you've been working on? If it's ready of course. I want something to keep Drogon in. I can't exactly set a funeral pyre to raise him into.

[She'd been making a joke, but truly everything about the birth of her dragons still felt so surreal. They'd been born in the ashes of her husband's death.]

[He quirked up one corner of his mouth, before he put a hand to his chest and bowed.]

You're the Queen I've vowed to serve. I want to show you that your faith in me is well-earned, and I want you to have ... well. To have what I never had. A good friend, in a good place, and an advisor who is willing to tell you the truth when you need it. As politely as possible - I like my face not to be roasted off.

[His lips quirk into a smirk, before his gaze brightens.] Naturally! I have one completed now. Would you care for me to bring to you, or would you prefer to pick it up yourself?

[She can't help but laugh at the bit about having his face roasted off.]

I make no promises of Drogon being on his best behavior at all times but I assure you you'll be keeping your face in tact. You're welcome to visit the Caprine any time you like to show me the box.

[Ah-hah, she is laughing. Which is delightful, honestly. His lips twitch up at the corners, eyes brightening.]

Well, then I shall take your word on his leaving my face intact, and deliver that to you as soon as possible.

I don't think an egg is like to harm your face terribly much.

[Still there's remnants of a chuckle still remaining.]

Thank you.
