[Tyrion has looked better, truth be told. His mis-matched eyes were distant, sad, and a little red-rimmed. Winn's bottle of wine was open at his elbow, half empty, but it appeared that he had slowed down his consumption from the last time people saw him endulge.

Voice quiet, but steady, he spoke directly into the camera.]

For those who have, or have not been paying attention ... Daenyrs Stormborn Targaryan has gone home. Drogon, I believe, has gone with her.

[With that, he clicks off the feed. Fzzzzzt. Silence.]

Indeed I shall.[Ah there was nothing like a little grovelling to help a girl enjoy her day, although Daenerys probably wouldn't enjoy it so much so she doesn't allow herself to smirk.]

I can understand why you thought that, it's what I would have wished, but sadly that did not happen. [She sighed theatrically, turning her head away from the camera in pretend sadness.]

[Not right, not right at all. So he laid the bait a little longer, and a little farther, his eyes flicking to the dragon on her shoulder.]

Yes, now I can see that you are still here, with your little pet. Such a shame, this is the only size he will ever be, in our world or in this one. I still hold the honor of sharing his name, I trust? One Drogon for another?

[This isn't the first time that Gemini's been tested in disguise, and now she catches it, not the part about the dragon's size but the name, Drogon. She's been over most of the passenger manifests and doesn't remember seeing that name, her head snaps back to stare at the camera as she realises he's testing her, eyebrow raised. Was the part about a dragon a lie too? Unfortunately she didn't know Daenerys well enough to channel the Dragon Queen's full icy glare, but Tyrion still gets some of it.]

What are you babbling about? Drogon is not your name, fit only for him and not the likes of you. [She reaches up to pet the 'dragon' perched on her shoulder, lip curling maliciously as she glances at him.] Perhaps when he is full grown I will allow him to burn you first.

[Most people would not have caught the second part. 'Perhaps when he is full grown'. He had almost wondered if he had made a mistake ... the glare wasn't quite up to Dany's standards but perhaps she really was irritated with him.

Then the last part slipped between her lips, and his mis-matched eyes narrowed, his jaw tightened, and he all but growled.]

Who in the name of the Seven are you, imposter?

[Dany's expression turns cruel in response to the question, lips finally pulling into the vicious smirk she's been hiding. She's a little disappointed at being called out, but determined to enjoy every moment.]

Imposter? You dare address your Queen in such a fashion? ['Drogon' hisses loudly from her shoulder, wings unfurling, beady eyes glaring at Tyrion.]

Perhaps I'll have you flayed alive for your insolence, or maybe I'll shorten you by a head, I doubt what few friends you have would notice. ['Dany' smiles as if the thought would bring her real pleasure, she hopes Tyrion remembers that expression on his friend's face.]

[Oh, my dear lady, everything you do after now is simply another tick in Tyrion's mental ledger. His fingers fold together, his expression curling into a cold look of complete disinterest, but he is cataloging everything around her. Noting the ship she is on, recording information on the background of her room and just where precisely - and whom - she might be.]

I would never address my Queen in that fashion. However, my Queen would never act like this. I do give you credit for a passable imitation of my sister, however.

[Gemini's a pro at this, so there's not much to see in the background of the room, which in any case she spends next to no time in. She's watching Tyrion closely, savouring his reactions, although the dragon on her shoulder is flexing his wings angrily and hissing at Tyrion, just for added effect.]

Wouldn't I? Perhaps you don't know me as well as you think.

[She is good, he will give her that. However, each ship is individually decorated, so he does know that she is currently on the Bishop. Sadly, he knows no one on that ship, but he has noted it on the future just in case he has the opportunity to do something there.]

I know no one better in this world than my Queen. [He looks at that dragon, with the same dispassionate interest, while he looks at her with complete and total boredom.] Are you quite finished? Your theatrics border on the melodramatic now. How very trite of you to choose to torture someone with the visage of someone they care about. You must be very bored.

[It isn't nearly so much fun for her when she can't get a rise out of him and while it's irritating she doesn't want the dwarf to think he's won, so she pouts exaggeratedly at him, Dany's eyes glittering with malice.]

I'm finished when I want to be, be careful who you call melodramatic though, I might take it personally. [While she abandons some of Dany's persona she's certainly not changing form, smiling silkily at Tyrion without admitting that yes she is normally very bored.]

[Ah, that was a mistake. That flash of scale, that turning towards their stomach. A flash of weakness - and if she knew nothing about Tyrion Lannister she should know she should never see weakness.]

..I am starting to believe that you take more than a few things personally, if you go this far out of your way to hurt others.

[Unfortunately for her Gemini remains entirely oblivious, particularly as she scarcely considers him a threat.]

Out of my way? Hardly. You're not worth the effort, not that this hasn't been fun. [She yawns ostentatiously.]

[And now, you will receive a smug smile.]

If I am not worth the effort, then you never would have done it in the first place. You wanted a reaction - a negative one at that. So I must ask ... were you the one who was crushed, or did you watch your parents crush others?

[It only takes a second for Dany's face to contort into a mask of ugly rage, as she gives Tyrion a seething glare. The mention of her parents is a touchy subject for her.]

Don't you dare psychoanalyse me! I...you...[She's so furious for a moment speech fails her as she stares at Tyrion with sheer loathing before her hand swipes across, extending unnaturally to sweep the communicator to the floor.]

[And the last thing she is going to hear, is a very nasty laugh, before there's a quiet, but firm response.]

A Lannister always pays his debts, and I still owe you.

[That laugh only makes her angrier, her foot descending to smash the communicator with an angry growl]

RRRRGH!

[The wall-plating is dented by an angry punch, and then she's slithering into the ship's ventilation system to ~~sulk~~ and mutter angrily about a certain dwarf.]
