Mother. ( Don't mind him just having a very parental tone with his own mother. ) Why are you, Daemon, and Alicent in consideration for anything akin to a relationship?

voice;

[perzo]

[ it is a question that catches her so much by surprise that she falters, briefly, before responding. ]

What… why do you ask me that?

[vermax]

The superlatives. You are an option. The three of you and I do not think Alicent and Daemon have reconciled.

[perzo]

[ there's a soft sigh, from rhaenyra's end. ]

They have not, to my knowledge. Nor do I expect they ever will.

[vermax]

Then my question is not unreasonable.

[perzo]

I do not know. It must be someone's idea of a cruel joke.

[vermax]

This place does nothing without intent.

[perzo]

Intent to divide us, perhaps.

[vermax]

By implying there is something between you and Alicent Hightower?

[perzo]

Few here know our full history. From their perspective, we stand in opposition to each other, and now the house mocks us with an offensive accusation.

[vermax]

Mother.

[perzo]

[ wearied, but a little arch too. this is mother and queen coming out: ] Jacaerys.

[vermax]

( Jace bears it, he does, but he is also her heir. ) Given you’ve absconded with not a word to your council to meet privately with Alicent before, do I not have reason to worry?

[perzo]

I am not at risk in her company. Not since we agreed to a larger truce between our families.

[vermax]

Safety is not what I worry about.
