I ask that you use caution if encountering Yhych in the courts. Or at least carry with you an anti-toxin.

Is anyone a weapon-maker here?

Ignore my next message until you are alone or are able to control your reaction.

[ There will be a pause, one which seems to tick away as an eternity for her. And then: ]

I'm told Kebechet is here.

Nor have I, save for Irriella. For however savage they may appear, there's a clear class structure they follow. They've visitors from other worlds, and have two organizations vying for their support in a war.

[ Honor was not the only way to win. Vengeance was another way to win. What care did she have for honor, when it landed so very many dead, and so stupidly to boot?

The mention of Jon as her brother gives Dany pause, if only because she's so rarely heard of him referred to as such. ]

I've seen far more sense over passion, lady.

[ Maybe in Westeros--but she's witnessed that passion, as well. Either way, it makes her uncomfortable to discuss dead and living brothers, or a younger woman's envy. She hadn't gone looking for a lover, merely an ally. ]

I was young when my husband died. He was passionate like the men you describe, and promised to spill the blood of many in Westeros to avenge me when the Usurper almost poisoned me.

Focus on growing and becoming who you're meant to be, instead of what you've lost.

Their class structure is what surprises me. There are so few societies that seem to allow women to be in such control. My brother said that he believes this culture is similar to Westeros. I suppose that is true, only men are in the place that women are expected to hold.

[She could appreciate Dany's advice about finding herself and her way, aside from simply mourning Robb. She knew that the queen was right, as it seemed to have benefited Dany. She was a leader of men, brought dragons back to Westeros and soon would reclaim her home.

However, it was difficult to imagine achieving anything close to that. Dany wasn't like anyone else.]

It's not that I don't mean to find who I am, but I am not ready yet to move forward. I can't let him go yet.
