what I really loved (yet another thing to be quite honest) about that fireplace scene between Rhaenys and Corlys is that nothing is said out of anger. There’s no anger in either of them, not really.

Also: Steve Toussaint’s face when he’s saying that line about this brief, mortal life!!!

#sure corlys puffs up his chest a bit about the fools of the great council #but it was interesting to me that that argument sounded like a script #hence why rhaenys calls him out #but as soon as that's out of the way he does look VERY vulnerable actually #They both know the truth about rhaenyra's sons #and whilst THEY don't care #(and I do believe that truly Rhaenys doesn't give a flying eff)#others do and they cannot bury their head in the sands about it #not when driftmark is on the line #that's the difference - corlys is unwilling to face the reality and present of what it means #bc it means his blood won't be on the iron throne and all his ambition means nothing etc #whilst rhaenys is saying they need to secure driftmark and get out in front of it #before it all kicks off #because it WILL kick off #rhaenys x corlys #corlys velaryon #rhaenys targaryen
