Not quite. I only was able to fuck once that day.

[Let him show you how often he can go, Daenerys.]

Why the Wall? You have never seen it before. The Iron Throne, they would show you that to tempt you. But the Wall?

[dorzalta]

Yes, I suppose you were.

[ She hadn't thought much about a second go of it, mainly because they'd been--well, Tumenalia had its ways, didn't it? ]

I don't know about the Wall, or why they would show it to me. It was windy when the gate rose, but the grounds took me to the the Red Waste after.

[song_of_ice]

Each image had to mean something. They must have thought the Wall was important.

[Maybe they knew of the threat? Their magic tried to tell her that the Wall needed to be visited.

His first thought was of the Others rather than they might have hinted at him at all. Why would they? Who was he in all of this?]

The Red Waste? What is that?

[dorzalta]

Why not show me Dragonstone? What would they gain by showing me the Wall, save that there's land beyond it?

[ It's not as if they showed her the dead which he spoke of. ]

Sometimes, there is no meaning.

[ Which is a lie. There was so very much layered in those illusions Pyat Pree spun. ]

It's a desert. Near the Dothraki Sea. My people and I were lost in it shortly after Drogo's death.

[song_of_ice]

They might not have shown you the threat, but they showed you that the Wall is important. They had to know.

[He knew that was true, as there was no reason why he was brought back or why the Red God gave Melisandre the power to resurrect him.

It didn't make it any easier to stomach.]

How did you survive?

[dorzalta]

You give the warlock too much credit.

How did my khalasar survive the Red Waste, you mean? We found Qarth. And I lost a good man along the way.

[song_of_ice]

I've learned not to completely dismiss the magic of others.

[Especially after the events of the Wall.]

I wish I could have seen the places you have. Part of me wished to travel before I took the oath.

[dorzalta]

So have I.

[ She's seen enough magic to mistrust it when in the hands of a stranger. ]

I didn't have much choice when it came to those initial travels.

[song_of_ice]

I know, but it still must have be amazing to see.

Maybe someday I can show you the top of the Wall.

[dorzalta]

When it became my choice, it was. Before that, it was another place to live, and I wondered when we would be cast out to wander the streets again.

[song_of_ice]

If we survive the war, do mean to stay in King's Landing?

[dorzalta]

You mean when the war is won. I imagine it's much the same a city as Meereen is.

Assuming Cersei doesn't blow up the Red Keep, I imagine i would. Why?

[song_of_ice]

I don't know. I have never seen King's Landing.

[dorzalta]

Where else would I reside?

[song_of_ice]

Dragonstone seems to suit you. It means more to your family.

[dorzalta]

They both mean a great deal to my family.

[song_of_ice]

You should visit Winterfell someday.

[dorzalta]

[ Dangerous territory, that topic. She may not press for him to bend the knee to her in this place, but it would become a point of contention once more upon their return back to Westeros. ]

To visit you?

[song_of_ice]

If you let me leave the island.

[It's meant as a joke, one to dissipate the tense subject.]

[dorzalta]

That remains to be seen.

[song_of_ice]

You would make it difficult.

[If they ended up like this.]

[dorzalta]

Says the man so stubborn.

[song_of_ice]

You are just as stubborn.

[dorzalta]

It's because I know what I want.

[song_of_ice]

So do I. I know what I need too.
