⠀⠀⠀⠀Vaerya Targaryen could not remember the last time speaking to her older half-brother brought her any enjoyment. Perhaps it was six years ago when she arrived in Kings Landing to take her place in court, and he met her at the Dragonpit. He had welcomed her with open arms, doting on the girl he recently named Princess of Dragonstone. "My, how you've grown," he smiled. "Gaelithox and Dieghar have grown too," he added. "Your mother has kept you hidden in Driftmark for far too long. The Realm will be delighted to see their Dragon Princess again," he declared.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Yes, that was the last time the girl had been delighted to see him.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Now, she could barely stand to be in his presence. She knew he was speaking and could register the muffled words, but she wasn't truly paying attention; his words meant nothing to her. She continued to pick at the dirt left under her nails from her daily dragon ride earlier that morning. She wished she could tunnel into the earth forever and rest among the worms; they would make better conversation than Viserys. No, she did not deserve to be buried. She truly wished she could dig a hole into which to push her brother. If the Realm was lucky, the worms would eat him.
