Aelora’s concern had been Rhaenys from the moment she heard about Vaegon. As expected, though, it was hard to find the princess. Aelora was mixed in with a group of nobles heading towards the sept. The bells ringing were starting to give her head an ache. It was not long before she spotted the princess standing outside of the doors.
Aelora almost rolled her eyes at the statement. “Rhaenys,” she said as she reached out and took her friend’s hand. “I’m here for you, and I’ll stay here as long as you are.” Rhaenys was the closest thing Aelora would ever have to a sister, and she did not intend on forsaking her. “If you want to get away from all of these people, my guards can escourt us somewhere.” Her deep lilac eyes met Rhaenys’, and Aelora’s heart almost broke for her. Watching her truest friend grieve over her brother made Aelora remember all of the pain of losing her own brother. Seeing Rhaenys so upset made Aelora even shed a tear, though she looked down, letting her fall onto the ground.
The sight of her pillow friend softened Rhaenys’ features. She gently squeezed Aelora’s hand, thankful for her company. She was one of just a few people who she didn’t mind hovering about. Aelora had been there for everything--from her mother’s death to the Royce boy and everything in between. “I know you are, Aelora.” She murmured. The sight of her tears brought more from Rhaenys’ violet eyes. “I know you offer, but you know we mustn’t. We have to go in.” She frowned. “He would want you here too, close to us.”
She wasn’t sure how true it was, but Rhaenys wanted Aelora close. She was nearly family. She’d shared her bed as a child, had been tutored by Septa Alssa, had been with her until she’d gone away to her husband. Selfishly, she was glad to have her back, especially considering the circumstances. “I’ve missed you so, I wish you returned on happier news, but I am so glad you are here today. Are you alright, Aelly?” She asked, concerned as she reached to gently wipe Aelora’s tear away.
