Rhaena and Aemond had not seen one another since they were children and she was surprised by how different he was.
Gone was the scrawny young man she and her cousins has fought with when she was ten and in his place was a tall, muscular but lean man.
She watched him, shirtless and his long golden white hair pulled back as he practiced movements with his longsword on a dummy, striking various spots. A warrior, like in one of her books.
She was staring so much that she did not hear her name being called by Aemond.
"Rhaena." He said her name, almost as if he was confused or in disbelief that it was her. She was taller than she used to be.
Her dreadlocks are gone, her hair now long and coily. She has a deep purple cloak over her deep purple dress with gold floral embellishments at each wrist.
But the ruby stone on her right forefinger said which side she was on as did the green cloak that was thrown over the bench. However, he did not care.
He pulled on his white shirt as he walked towards her and she couldn't help but watch his arms.
"I did not mean to-" Her copper brown cheeks are flushed with the slightest red that one could only see if they paid attention and he imagined many paid attention.
"I do hope you have not lost your tongue, cousin." He quipped, knowing she had been staring at him, "We would make a pair - one eye and no tongue."
"I saw you. From a window and thought I would say hello." She tells him timidly, "You are a good fighter."
"Thank you." Aemond said, "You look... taller." A terrible compliment but she giggled and he wished to hear that sound again.
"I am still the shortest, however." Rhaena smiled, "I was looking for the library and I will leave you to your training."
"I can show you to the King's Library, if you wish?" Aemond offered. A voice - his grandsire's - scolded him but he wished to take her and spend time with her.
Rhaena smiled, "As long as it is no inconvenience?"
"I wouldn't offer if it was." Aemond pointed out dryly. But she was not offended by his bluntness, merely shaking her head.
wdym Jon Snow looking more and more like Ghost after he gets resurrected isn't canon yet? this is maybe my favourite fan theory and I love all the amazing artwork of it, so here's my own take on this idea!
or, as @en-theos lovingly said, the stark to targaryen pipeline, ft Mance's cloak at the end
There is something a bit ironic about Arya, the one who looks and act the most like Lyanna, looking for Rhaegarās rubies on the trident.
I wonder if the rubies will be relevant to the future. They are brought back in a feast for crow and Rubies, in the world of Westeros are associated with magical glamor or disguise.
I think Rhaegar is really dead, the story is about the generation after him but i really do wonder why GRRM keeps bringing them up if they werenāt relevant to someone in the story.
They keep looking for Rhaegarās Seventh Ruby too while that might have some religious connotations to it. I think it is interesting, if you count the number of people related to Rhaegar (his immediate family).
Aerys
Rhaella
Viserys
Rhaenys
Aegon
Daenerys
They cannot find the seventh ruby, and we know who that is. š
And the fact that it is Arya, who is looking for them on the Trident is very intriguing.
Two years ago, I drew the picture above. Now Iām happy to mirror it with this one. Anne got me through hard times, and I love this show with all of my heart ā¤ļø
