[Dany idly strokes Drogon's head, more of a comforting gesture for her than any reason to calm him. That his head was down and his claws digging into her shoulders meant that he was relaxed and feeling content. As content as he could be, unable to fly freely around the city. Thank the gods he had begun to listen to her.

I would say you spent your day well then. Any extra food means one more empty belly filled. [She gave a small laugh.] I've walked farther than the distance we traveled and with less supplies. This was a simple reconnaissance mission. So long as you have a care, it isn't that terrible. I counted a large number of troops though. Do you know if they add to their numbers by summoning others?

[Maybe Alayne wouldn't know, but without asking, she'd never know.]

Come. I'm eager to start.
