DJKSFgH LMAO WE'RE GOOD

He's my brother, and I'm also his heir now. Aegon iā ziry mittys drivose sesīr hae dārys.

{ Being king does not make him any less foolish. }

[ aemond won't lie, it would be amusing to see his mother read children's books in high valyrian. but she would then also know their fairytales, the nuances of the fourteen flames and valyrian custom. he can be patient as his mother learns. ]

Lēkia issa hae gūrēntan iksan daor.

{ aegon is not as learned as i am. }

[ lēkia. older brother. aemond rarely calls aegon this anymore. aegon mislikes it and aemond hates to say it only to be mocked for the perceived softness. but aegon is his brother, and he loves him more than he wants to see him dead.

aegon just makes it so difficult. ]

[vermax]

No, I suppose it does not.

Aegon had other interests than studies even when my brothers and I lived in King's Landing.

[provoke]

You and your brothers among these interests, I remember.

As I do the way you tracked horse shit through our shared apartments.

[vermax]

At least we spent time with the horses, uncle, instead of merely reading about them.

[provoke]

You can mount a horse from a running jump, then?

I'm like to see it.

[ give him an excuse to show off, please. ]

[vermax]

I have no need for such showmanship. Though if you wish to compare ones skill when it comes to something worth bragging over, uncle, perhaps some archery from horseback? ( oh wait ur depth perception tho... )

[provoke]

Would you like to try it?

[ like depth perception would affect his performance. ]

[vermax]

Riding is enough to start if we are still meeting on the morrow.

[provoke]

Would be a terrible idea, to put weapons in our hands too. On the morrow then, nephew.

Or should it be cousin, now?

[vermax]

There is no need to put on a show amongst family. ( and that is something to remember, even if it is more complicated than that. )

[provoke]

And if I called you something else?

[ if they're drawing their lines now, best to get certain things out of the way. ]

[vermax]

Like what? ( tread carefully, uncle. )

[provoke]

Well, you've kept steadfast in these trying times. Might that I toast to it, among family.

[ do you accept your father true, or are we still pretending? ]

[vermax]

I will see you on the morrow.

🎀

[provoke]

[ that's answer enough, then. ]
