Starter for @promisednight
After the assassination attempt, back at the red keep
Daemon had made it back to his chambers, where he was left alone with his thoughts. He was alive, he was safe for now but the same could not be said for the lady Tully. He felt guilty, the woman was close to dying because of him, because she saved his life. And there was nothing he could do to help her, there was nothing he could do to fix this. Daemon was sitting on his bed, his hands still shaking as he replayed the events from the woods on his mind over and over again, trying to remember the face of the hooded person, knowing that if he had not wandered alone, maybe none of this would've happened. Daemon groaned in frustration, throwing a book that was next to him against the wall, a rare display of anger from him. Then he heard the knock on the door. It was one of the guards that his father had stationed right outside of his chambers, announcing that he had a visitor. Daemon did not want to see anyone, he didn't want to speak about what happened, he only wanted to be left alone. It was when the guard announced Lady Alya that Daemon's eyes softened and he allowed the guard to let her in.
