She never realized until now that she’d craved the kind of contentment she feels with Audun. But it was more than contentment. There was love, passion, excitement. Every aspect of their lives meshed together to form a complete picture that she’d been missing. She takes his hand as they head towards the stables. 

It warms her heart to hear his words of trust. “I won’t forget. I… I’m so glad I’m here with you.” Her old life was starting to fade in her memory, and while there were certain things she’d always miss, this was the life that called to her now. 

There was an excitement to learning something new. She’d be learning to fight, how to wield a sword and an ax. How to ride. Her hair had grown quite long during her time here, and it flowed down her back in soft curls to her waist. She could feel the strands brushing over the hand at the small of her back. It didn’t even matter that it was cool. It was a perfect day.

Off to the stables they went, wandering to get his horse. He was perfectly content to have them both riding together on his back. Afterward, they wandered together to the shop that sat just beside the stables. He left Grenjar with Kate for a while, talking with a stable manager and his son. Eventually, after finding the right sort of horse, as gentle and tame as could be, he purchased her. 

Later, they rode out together to a field by the Andiun River. She was on his horse with him, her own galloping happily beside him as he held her reins as well. The wind was in their air and the temperature was temperate. It was cool but not overly breezy or freezing. Perfect.

“Are you ready to try? I will teach you. I promise to go easy on you, my love.”

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON: S01EP01 THE HEIRS OF THE DRAGON

I  trust  your  ride  was  pleasant.

Try  not  to  look  too  relieved.

I  believe  I’m  quite  content  as  a  spectator,  thank  you.

I  don’t  need  mothering.

Someone  has  to  attend  to  you.

This  discomfort  is  how  we  serve  the  realm.

I’d  rather  serve  as  a  knight  and  ride  to  battle  and  glory.

You  stink  of  dragon.

Well,  that  sounds  suspiciously  like  good  news.

And  are  we  meant  to  weep  for  dead  pirates?

I  would  be  delighted.

I  bought  you  something.

Now…  you  and  I  both  own  a  small  piece  of  our  ancestry.

You’re  always  like  this  when  you’re  worried.

I  want  to  fly  with  you  on  dragon-back,  see  the  great  wonders  across  the  Narrow  Sea,  and  eat  only  cake.

I  like  this  position.  It’s  quite  comfortable.

I  never  jest  about  cake.

So  you  remember.

They  are  searching  the  texts  for  similar  cases.

Bad  humors  of  the  mind  can  adversely  affect  the  body.

Whatever  it  is,  it  needs  to  be  kept  quiet.

Cauterization  would  be  a  wise  course  of  treatment.

This  is  the  only  place  I  can  find  comfort  these  days.

I’ve  never  been  more  certain  of  anything.

Crime  of  every  breed  has  been  allowed  to  thrive.

Carry  on.  You  were  saying  something  about  my  impunity.

Making  a  public  spectacle  of  wanton  brutality  is  hardly  in  line  with  our  laws.

Time  will  tell.

I  can  assure  you,  the  sheep  are  prettier.

Perhaps  you  aren’t  ready  to  move  on  just  yet.

Enforce  my  laws,  but  understand…  any  further  performances  like  last  night’s  will  be  answered.

I  would  gladly  take  it  if  I  thought  I  needed  it.

Best  get  on  with  it.

Now,  I’m  fairly  certain  I  can  win  these  games.

It’s  a  marvel  that  war  didn’t  break  out  at  first  blood.

We  must  either  act  now  or  leave  it  with  the  gods.

I  wish  you  luck.

This  is  the  last  thing  any  of  us  wish  to  discuss  at  this  dark  hour,  but  I  consider  the  matter  urgent.

These  recent  tragedies  have  left  you  without  an  obvious  heir.

Well,  who  else  would  have  a  claim?

I  will  not  sit  here  and  suffer  crows  that  come  to  feast  on  their  corpses!

I  wouldn’t  know  what  to  say.

I  do  know  how  passionate  you  are  for  the  histories.

All  I  wanted  was  for  someone  to  say  that  they  were  sorry  for  what  happened  to  me.

But  dream  and  pray  as  they  all  might,  it  seems  I’m  not  so  easily  replaced.

The  gods  give  just  as  the  gods  take  away.

I  corroborated  this  report  with  three  separate  witnesses.

My  family  has  just  been  destroyed.

Yet  everything  I’ve  given  you,  you’ve  thrown  back  in  my  face.

Then  why  do  you  cut  me  so  deeply?

They  all  prey  on  you  for  their  own  ends.

When  you  look  at  the  dragons,  what  do  you  see?

Without  them,  we’re  just  like  everyone  else.

I  swear  this  by  the  old  gods  and  the  new.

Promise  me.
