Action: N/A
When: 8/11

[The shouts of the Northern men was still ringing in his ears as he opened his eyes, the quiet of the ship piercing through him. The familiar stones of Wintefell were replaced by steel and machinery he didn't recognize but for some reason understood...at least in passing. Space, ships and other information he had never considered before were fresh in his mind. The darkness beyond the windows was not so mysterious or strange, though it still filled him with the same awe he felt when he stood atop the Wall for the first time.

It took time for his current imprisonment and state to at least hit him, the shock slowly wearing off the longer he sat in silence. After a few hours, he felt ready to turn to the network for the answers he wouldn't find on the Marsiva.]

My name is Jon Snow.

[There seemed little reason to ask about escape, as it seemed there were so many still here. If they could leave by their own will, they would have by now.]

Who are the men that have captured us? Are they taking us somewhere in particular or is this holding cell meant to travel without destination?

We're here. I don't think they find you much of a bore if they brought you here.

[It wouldn't stop them from finding ways to make them entertaining. He had never seen bear baiting, but it had to be like that. Introduce certain elements to make the bear act as you wanted.

So she was Targaryen. He doesn't know how to exactly respond, only that this was the woman Maester Aemon wondered about, the one who supposedly had three dragons.]

Does your armada sail without you now?

I think they will find they were mistaken soon enough. [There will be an opening. She must wait for it and keep herself alert.

And, yes, comparing their situation to bear baiting is entirely correct. Except, with them, they are baiting a dragon and a wolf. Very stupid of them.]

I am told they will not know of my absence. Time does not pass in our wake. [An oddity she cannot quite wrap her mind around.] I pray that is so otherwise my Dragons will cease to follow the ships.

[That is a relief to hear. He had a battle to wage and he would not send men off to die without fighting alongside them.]

They must be amazing to see.

[He had wondered about dragons when he was a boy, as any child might. He never imagined that he would see them again, not in this life. Yet here was the woman that had given them life.]

There is a more pressing issue than who sits on the Iron Throne.

[He has the sort of nobility Westeros dearly needs. It is a shame that many like him fall in battle rather than ruling.]

I will never grow weary of seeing them.

[Her sons have grown so much and she is as biased as any mother, but there is more to it. Daenerys is awed to be in their presence and that is why she will not risk them straying too far from her side; from men who can step in and protect them if need be. Not that they are likely to need it.]

I have not heard of it. [She pales and considers her next words.] Should this be a private conversation?

[He doesn't know very much about her, but he can see a strength beneath the surface. Something of the dragon in her.]

They aren't with you in this world.

[It's not really a question. She's indicated as much and the absence of Ghost only further confirms it.

He nods.]

It should. I would offer to meet with you and speak in person, but...

[He looks around.]

I don't know how to leave this ship.

No. [She could correct him; they are in space, but that is a lot to swallow.] We must wait until you are assigned a ship. I am a pilot on mine, so traveling to you would be no trouble.

[She likes the feeling of controlling flight. Drogon listens and heeds her, but with a ship, she is completely in control.]

You fly a ship?

[Should he really be surprised? There were stories of Targaryens flying their dragons into battle, but that was thousands of years ago. The last dragon was the size of a cat. He had heard she had dragons, but never their size.]

So we must wait before we can speak privately? How long will I have to wait on this ship?
