[ Rhaenyra doesn't overtly delay, but neither does she make haste to breakfast. If Aemond is determined to engage her in conversation for reasons that have yet to be made clear, she sees no reason not to test his patience along those lines.

By the time she appears outside of the dining room, she is visibly dressed not for breakfast, but for this meeting — in a red dress that would not be out of place at the head of Dragonstone's Painted Table, with gold designs embroidered across the bodice and pointed shoulders that create a larger silhouette, have the effect of making her seem taller and broader than her stature would otherwise indicate. In lieu of her crown, she has wound her long braids atop her head, carefully pinning them by her own hand.

She has elected to meet Aemond alone, without engaging Daemon — a decision that she imagines will earn her husband's ire when he learns of it, but a neutral ground has been selected for a reason, and, despite previous attempts to incite a drawing of weapons, Aemond must know, now, that she is not so easily provoked.

She enters the breakfast room, gaze immediately sweeping across the various faces until it lands on his — and then she approaches him where he stands, in lieu of serving herself from what has been laid out. ]

Shall we speak now, or after the meal?
