[ and he does; aemond means it sincerely. the colour seems returned to jace's face more than before, though perhaps the creeping cold weather is also party to it. no matter. his nephew-cousin seems hale and healthy, discounting the matter of his hands. he will not question it any further. ]
And I have been training with Daemon as of recent. I doubt you'll tire me similarly.

He is often difficult to keep up with, I must admit. Have you sparred with him before?
