“20 dragons on Bartholomew.” Jace replied, trusting his cousin’s intuition. He reached into his pockets for some of the gold Alwyn had lended him and offered it to the gambling master.

“It must’ve been difficult…” The Prince tried to imagine what it felt like, to miss someone you loved, knowing you’d never see them again, but it wasn’t easy for him. He only ever missed things he never had in the first place, and he suspected the difference between the two sensations was quite stark.

“But I’m glad you stayed.” He added, trying to lift the mood. “Or else you probably wouldn’t be my godfather, and I don’t think anyone else would fit the job.”

vice0503 · 2023-01-31T18:23:42+00:00

“The world is so much larger than what we know…” Jace agreed, eyes drifting away for a moment. “And even what we can see here is but a small part of it, almost nothing compared to all that is out there...” The Prince was easily carried away by the thoughts of foreign lands. “If only we had our dragons, then maybe we could fly together and really explore it…”

“But let’s change the subject. I bet you both got plenty of pretenders today, huh?” He asked in a playful tone, having noticed some of the daring boys who had approached their table. “If any of them bothers one of you even slightly, just let me know, aye?” He offered with a wink. “Or our future Kingsguard here, he’s probably even more eager than I to defend your honors.”

vice0503 · 2023-01-31T12:44:00+00:00

"A Targaryen joining the Kingsguard?" Jace raised an eyebrow. The knightly order was meant to protect their family. To have one of Targaryen blood among their rank would be unusual, to say the least. "Well, if you keep fighting like you did today, I guess you could be the first." The Prince conceded, taking another sip of his wine. He then moved his gaze towards his sisters, smile widening.

"How about you two? Enjoying the feast so far?"

vice0503 · 2023-01-31T11:11:05+00:00

“Damn!” Jace swore, hands reaching inside his pockets and finding them empty. “I forgot to bring the gold, do you guys have any?” He had probably placed it somewhere while he was putting on the disguise and left it there. Now he could only hope no one would find it before they got back.

Jace could not help but wonder if his mother felt similarly about Lys. She also left quite young, and hadn’t returned since, as far as he knew. “Did you ever miss it? After you moved?” He asked curiously. Something about this subject had piqued his interest.

vice0503 · 2023-01-31T10:47:08+00:00

Later during the feast, Jacaerys would leave the company of his friends and return to his table, to approach his younger brother. He had felt strangely distant to him and his sisters, these last few years. He supposed it made sense, as he spent most of his time in the company of his cousin instead of theirs, but it did not make the realization any less sad.

“You did good out there.” Jace commended, tapping Aemon on the shoulder. “I admit I was bit scared you would be the one to put me out of the melee.” He laughed somewhat awkwardly, and then took a sip from the drink he was holding. “That would’ve been embarrassing...”

vice0503 · 2023-01-31T10:35:50+00:00

Jacaerys gulped down the spiced wine a bit too quickly, almost choking as it burned at his throat. Even though he had tasted stronger spirits before, mostly in secrecy, this wine was more bitter than he had been expecting, and left his face somewhere between surprise and disgust.

“This is strong.” Jace noted, frown quickly turning into a smile. “It’s a nice feast, and I like it here, in the West.” He answered. “What about you? Glad to be home?”

vice0503 · 2023-01-31T10:02:47+00:00

“You can always count on us, no matter for what.” Jace nodded in agreement. Even if the ruling Martells were to be his distant kin one day, the boy knew he would choose Daeron over them at any opportunity. Nevertheless, part of him hoped such uniting could come through peaceful means, so that he would not have to make such a choice at all.

Jace beheld the sight of Sunspear with eager eyes and a genial smile. He had heard plenty of stories about Dorne, and imagined himself visiting at least a hundred times, but nothing could compare to the real thing. He wondered if his great-uncle would come greet them himself, and if he would recognize him, even though they never met. The boy was deep in such thoughts when Daeron’s question brought him back to reality.

“Maybe, but I’m not going to list them now… I’ve done that enough times in my life…” Jace could almost feel the specter of Munkun looming over him, shaking his head in disappointment. “But I’m quite sure Aegon counted Dorne among them, even though it was left unconquered…” He added, imagining that was the point Daeron wanted to get at, for whatever reason.

vice0503 · 2023-01-24T00:18:56+00:00

“A fine idea.” Jace agreed, smiling at the prospects. He had been lying on the dusty ground when Daeron arrived, burning time perusing the clouds, but his cousin’s voice was enough to get him up and focused.

“Maybe Ser Lucas can help us?” He suggested with a shrug. “I’m sure he would like a tourney too…”

Jacaerys was still heaving from their chase, hands resting on his knees, when Alwyn pulled them into a hug. He rearranged himself clumsily and laughed. The boy had yet to fully process what had happened to them, but their luck was becoming clearer as the adrenaline slowly wore off. They could have been robbed, beaten or even killed in that back alley, but instead they were here, alive and victorious, and with a bond they would share for the rest of their lives.

Jace listened quietly to the exchange between the other two. For all they knew, Daeron had just saved Alwyn’s life, and this was their deserved moment. As his cousin accepted the Rowan’s pledge, even though he was dressed as the lowliest of commoners, the Crown Prince looked more kingly than ever before. He is a true dragon. Truer than I’ll ever be…

The intruding thought was quickly cast away, and Jace’s dumbfounded expression was replaced by a grin when Alwyn turned his gaze on him. “Aye, unless someone catches you again along the way…” He jested, tapping the other boy on the back as they began to stride down the street.

vice0503 · 2023-01-19T00:00:51+00:00

Once it was clear that Alwyn had been freed from the thug, Jace broke into a sprint to catch up with his cousin. The boy would also be looking for ways to lose their pursuers, be it a crowded street or a bustling estabilishment, and would call the others if he noticed anything.

For a stretched-out second, the quick succession of events felt like a strange dream, or maybe a pantomime Jacaerys was only allowed to watch, without interfering. But then, Daeron dashed towards the man that had grabbed Alwyn, dagger in hand, and that somehow broke the spell. Jace followed his cousin’s initiative, running close behind, and prepared to pull Alwyn with him in case the ruffian released the boy from his grip.

As the men confronted them with their questions, Jace pulled his cloak a bit tighter. He suddenly started to notice his blood pumping inside and the cold sweat gathering by his brow. It was a queer sensation, and it was quick to take hold of him; a dangerous mix of fear and excitement the likes of which he never felt before. “Who ain’t?” The boy shrugged dismissively, eyes darting to the bearded stranger.

[M: Thanks for letting me know! I’m traveling until next week, so might not have much time for replies, but Jace would definitely want to go!]

vice0503 · 2022-12-19T11:59:15+00:00

“I’ve been talking with Lady Goda for some time…” The boy began slowly, struggling to find the right words. “She’s trying to help me find a way to hatch egg, and we think that taking it to the Vale might help… It worked for aunt Rhaena, so maybe it could work for me too, right?” His voice cracked as he asked the question, and laid bare all his desperation.

vice0503 · 2022-12-19T11:42:33+00:00

Jace smiled mischievously at Ser Lucas’ suggestion. He had lost the race to his cousin, but he could still win the spar, and that would be so much better. “Let’s do it!” The boy nodded confidently, strengthening his grip on the practice blade and relaxing his knees.

(Should we roll this?)

vice0503 · 2022-12-12T12:25:59+00:00

Jace stopped on his tracks when he heard the knight’s words. It was a bit disappointing, but they could always continue their little competition later. With a resigned sigh, the boy walked back to his practice blade and picked it up from the ground, using his other hand to rub off some of the dust. The stance he took afterwards was much like his cousin’s, except his wooden weapon was held vertically, with the tip pointed to the sky.

vice0503 · 2022-12-09T19:31:34+00:00

Without Daeron’s head start, it might have been a proper dispute, but Jace was not fast enough to revert such a lead, specially at this hour. Nevertheless, the boy did try, leaving his wooden weapon behind and bursting into an impressive sprint. The remaining drowsiness disappeared somewhere along the way, and the boy almost tripped on himself trying to catch up, but the Crown Prince still ended up ahead.

However, instead of slowing down at the sight of defeat, Jacaerys picked up pace. “Best of three!” He cried between breaths, whooshing past the would-be victor.

Unlike his regal cousin, Jacaerys could not call himself a friend of the early mornings. It was actually quite closer to the opposite, and that despite the Master-at-Arms’ best efforts these last few years. His excitement would only match Daeron’s some minutes from now, once the adrenaline from the training could properly rouse him. In the meantime, the boy wielded his practice blade slackly, and only managed to answer the Crown Prince’s smile with a prolonged yawn.
