( alicent could understand that mindset, truly, but at the same time ... considering going through this without rhaenyra felt like a torment even at the idea of such imaginary life. would it be worth going on in that case ? no & she wouldn't. )

❛ i don't think we should hang around here for long, daryl. ❜ says alicent with the unease in her tone clear. take one more glance down at the dead then back up ahead of them, booted feet step over what looks a woman & toward their destination: a group of stores in town to find some food, some supplies to be able to move on from here. most things will be picked over, she knows, but it can't hurt to look. ❛ if those people were shot trying to get in this store then someone might, maybe, be keeping an eye on this shop. so, we need to be quick checking 'round. ❜ alicent leans down to draw knife out of its holding on her leg to try to loosen up the door with ... something blocking it from inside ?
