[ Sleep does not come easy to her, especially after the events of the last few days. She fears closing her eyes for more than a moment, the images still burned brightly into the back of her eye lids. The soft tune of an unfamiliar song still echoes in the silence.

With all three dragons curled up with her on her furs Daenerys opens the journal hesitantly, reaching for a quill to pen some filters: ]

( Lady Stark )

[ Where does she begin? The desire to speak to the woman chews at her, but the words refuse to form. ]

Lady Stark─ [ I am sorry? No, that is not what she wants to say. ]
---

( Neal )

[ Again the words do not seem to come to her when she needs them. But she persists regardless. ]

I wish you had not seen what you did.
---

( filter )

It will be difficult to put aside such images, but it is for the best that you do. [ If she could take the memories of it from them she would. ] Nevertheless if you have questions... I will not deny you answers.
---


[ Some time after the filters, around mid-day Daenerys can be found seated in the courtyard of the castle, what looks as the beginning of some sort of clothing sitting in her lap. Drogon flies close by, weaving through the hair more than happy to stretch his wings. He chases after his brother Rhaegal, who also flies through the air, while Viserion rests beside Daenerys, curled up against her thigh.

She is deep in thought, or concentrating rather hard on the pieces of leather in her hands. Wonder what she is trying to make. ]

Ser? Are you ill? You speak like a man taken by fever. [ She still, unfortunately, does not understand him. ]

... I apologize, I have found that speaking with less words is faster than speaking fully, even if it does cause occasional miscommunication errors.

You said "three", and that many have not seen dragons in your world, due to them having been dead for a century. Is the reason that there are but three, and those three new, due to war?

[draca]

War was apart of it, but they simply... died out, each generation was weaker and deformed than the last, perhaps because the dragons were kept in the Dragonpit when my family ruled the Seven Kingdoms.

Dragons are not to be caged, some say it stunts their growth to be kept with a roof over their heads.

[radiantwingedone]

It would not do to grow too large to be able to move, so it would make a little sense. The trouble it could cause if the dragon was in the wild; take a long sleep and find upon waking that it can no longer exit its home.

... Although perhaps the walls are of a little more danger than the roof; complete enclosure worse than a shelter if needed.

[draca]

My family have always been connected to dragons, Aegon the Conquer and his sisters rode on the backs of dragons when they conquered the Seven Kingdoms. They were grown and raised with my family, they never took dragons from the wild.

I was told the Dragonpit is a large structure, big enough to house dragons of all sizes nevertheless the dragons that were not killed did not grow as strong or as large as their ancestors.

[radiantwingedone]

... Ah. I will admit that I am more familiar with things that have rarely sighted humans than those who have lived with them since before memory.

... There are other reasons for such things, but they may be taken as insulting.
