Looking back on it, I find myself reinterpreting the whole ordeal with the White Hart.

Rhaenyra could have killed the Stag and proven herself worthy of ruling the Seven Kingdoms beyond the shadow of a doubt. If she had killed it then, she would have had another claim to the throne - one beyond her father's whims; one the Lords of Westeros might have heeded better.

But she doesn't kill it. Instead, she let's it go and never so much as speaks of it. The Stag appears before her - and for her alone - and Rhaenyra chooses not to claim it as a symbol of legitimacy.

I think that foreshadows the rest of her story.

Among Viserys' children, she alone had the power and right to rule, she alone was worthy of the throne, and yet she lets go of it repeatedly. First, by having no legitimate heirs. Then, by never really consolidating her power and influence as heir in Kings Landing. Lastly, by running away to Dragonstone and leaving the Hightowers in charge of the Iron Throne, instead of staying and ruling in her father's stead.

She constantly has opportunities to grab at power, to portray herself as Viserys' heir, to solidify her claim, but she chooses not to do so, for the same reason she chooses not to kill the stag.

She doesn't understand the game and is unprepared to shoulder the responsibility of the throne. Viserys makes her a player, but she never plays to win. She doesn't kill the stag because she doesn't want to kill it - despite knowing it would silence her critics. She doesn't try to rule because it is easier to leave than it is to stay and fight Alicent.

And it is so frustrating because she never takes advantage of the fact that she is a Targaryen - and constantly bows to what the Small Council dictates is required of her as a woman and princess. But neither does she grow her power the way the nobility of Westeros do - by collecting favors and debts.

And yes, I absolutely believe that the Dance was Viserys' fault. But it is also Rhaenyra's. Had she truly wanted the throne, she should have done all that she could to make it hers, instead of constantly running away from the responsibility it entailed.

So two versions of Captured! quest can go down. You can choose to wait to be rescued or try to escape on your own but I like to imagine both scenarios were playing out at the same time for Milana just to add to the entire hilarity that is that quest to me.

Arl Eamon, upon learning of the Warden's capture (alongside Alistair's), would react by sending in two highly skilled and capable assassins to infiltrate Fort Drakon and retrieve them. Cue Leliana and Zevran. They've done this so many times before! This is their expertise! The way the scene plays out they bounce off each other well. She handles the captain with her bluffs, he keeps a knife handy just in case, they divert the guard's attention at her post so they can sneak in. It's going swimmingly!

Pan back to Milana and Alistair in their cell. Milana pacing back and forth. Both of them refusing to address they're embarrassingly down to their loincloths and totally don't have attractions towards each other. Alistair asking the Warden what she thinks they should do, does she think the others are coming for them? "Of course but we can't just sit around and wait either. Just be ready."

Cue Milana flirting with the guard to get his attention. BIG BROWN EYES ACTIVATED. Alistair in the background trying not to blush to the tips of his ears because 1) he was NOT prepared for that plan and 2) he'd never expect to hear such blatant flirting from the Warden even if it was a ruse. All it takes is for him to enter, a little more flirts to disarm him further, a step closer before she truly disarms him and kills him swiftly. "That's one way of capturing the guard's attention." Milana shrugs. "I saw the way he was looking at me." A chuckle rings out before a familiar voice follows. "Ah, my dear Warden, did you miss me?" I have to imagine they arrived just in time and overheard the tail-end of that whole exchange. Zevran overhearing his Warden flirting up a guard to escape? I know he finds that so fucking amusing and would tease her relentlessly for it considering even he wouldn't have expected it. "The man was powerless against those lovely eyes, just as I was. Who could blame him." :3c

Anyways, from there on out I imagine they manage to find the armory to get their gear back and charge their way out from the fortress.

It's a super fun time to imagine. 😋 But I won't lie I had an underlying darker thought to this whole scenario. When was the last time Milana was left prisoner to a bunch of guards in such vulnerable clothing and state? On the surface she may have shrugged it off but I think there's unsaid satisfaction when she kills the guardsman who was more than eager to exploit her. Like dogs, Shianni.
