why can i hear people inside of the walls

yes, well. that happens sometimes. you could always ignore them.

i cannot remember maekar ever being quite that bad. . . though perhaps that is because it was never directed towards me.

are you sure about that

is it not? you always seem to find yourself in these situations.

easy on him with what? are you going to fight him?

aerion already in trouble when it is this early

what else can one do but manage? it was far easier before my father was king. dragonstone was much quieter than king's landing. i imagine it is the same for you at summerhall. i found nobody can understand, but it makes it easier to surround yourself with those who will try to.

the moon is happy this eve! a rare sight indeed. perhaps it knows of good things that lie ahead.

are you sure? baelor, if you are busy do not worry. i would not begrudge you for attending to your duties.

sometimes it seems just being different is the worst crime one can commit. they look at us with judgemental eyes. i am assuming you see it too.

you are a good boy, valarr. thank you. you remind me very much of your father when he was your age.

i just—— you do not need to speak to him or maekar on my account. it is fine. though, i do worry. he and daenora do seem to spend a lot of time together.

they kill you for being whimsical in this house by the way
