meme / accepting. - @tymptir: ‘ nothing ever truly dies. ‘ ( rhaegar --> shiera. )
A SOFT SMILE PAINTS PINK lips, gentle as she ever has been with him. rhaegar is just a boy compared with the extent of her own life -- but that amethyst gaze has seen much and more. has seen death and rebirth, war, tragedy, heartbreak, loss. how shiera wishes she could take that from him. pluck it from his heart and give him a new life, a new identity, someone who would know only peace and laughter.
but the melancholy in his eyes is what they need. they are dragons, after all, and dragons must burn.
‘ and we are living proof,” she teases, raising a glass of sweet summerwine to her pale lips. mismatched eyes are evenly trained upon him as she drinks, contemplating, wondering if perhaps some gods are real, that they should be brought together like this.
‘ my prince. ‘ a light hand comes to rest upon his arm as a smile ticks at the corners of her mouth. ‘ your time to live has only begun. you’ve lost much and more, rhaegar. but your loss will not be in vain. not when you sit upon the throne and watch your enemies burn on the fires you set. ‘
