ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Aegon was the reserved academic, he always had been.ย Calm, grounded, cautious.ย Her younger brother had always asked questions of the adults in their life, never felt any need to soar the skies when he might bury his nose in a book, or debate with a learned man.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Rhaenys found joy and freedom her heartโs desire, delighting in songs and poetry, in stories and art.ย In the sky, Rhaenys was home, and upon the ground she soared like a true Valyrian dragonrider should, full of life and spirit, as wild and untameable as her dragon.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย And then, of course, there was Visenya.ย She gave a half-smile as she watched her sister at the festivities, though it fell quickly.ย Visenya, who never felt more at home than when she had a battle to fight.ย Her weapon a sword or a quill, honed blade or sharp tongue, she would fight with either.ย Her armor might be leather and steel, or a silken dress; she didnโt care much which.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย They were the blood of the dragon, and they were all as different as the sun and the moon and the stars.ย And yet despite that, she thoughtโฆthey were close.ย Family.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Visenyaโs smile returned to her as Rhaenys approached, and the elder sister chuckled as the youngest of the three cradled her hands.ย Shaking her head, she tutted softly, almost under her breath, though she did not draw away from his younger sister.ย โEverything is more fun with me, hm?ย You must be the only one who thinks so,โ she murmured, smile turning to a grin.
ย ย ย ย ย โBesides, how ever might I keep pace with you, dear sister?ย Everyone knows you have such energy, and I am little more than a wet blanket, here to douse the fun.โ
It was true that Rhaenys was known for her love of the finer things, and her ability to dance the night away. Why should life be wasted by sitting around and being serious all of the time when music existed? When the occasion called for serious behavior, she had no trouble with it, but most occasions had room for celebration. Rhaenys was determined to ENJOY her life, and the quest they were about to embark upon would be serious enough for a long while. They needed to have a bit of fun while they had time left.ย
โYou are no wet blanket, my love, I assure you. I shall lend you some of my energy and we shall rejoice together. Come now, everyone is waiting and I wish to dance with my sister.โ Grinning ear to ear, Rhaenys pulled Visenya into an embrace.ย โPlease donโt make me beg you, itโs unbecoming,โ she joked, resting her forehead against Visenyaโs.ย โIโll wear you down eventually, you know I will. You might as well spare me the trouble and say yes.โย
