"love always wakes the dragon and suddenly
flames everywhere.
i can tell already you think i'm the dragon,
that would be so like me, but i'm not i'm not the dragon.
i'm not the princess either.
who am i?
...
for a while i thought i was the dragon.
i guess i can tell you that now. and, for a while, i thought i was
the princess,
cotton candy pink, sitting there in my room, in the tower of the
castle, young and beautiful and in love and waiting for you with
confidence
by the princess looks into her mirror and sees only the princess
while i'm out here slogging through the mud, breathing fire,
and getting stabbed to death.
okay, so i'm the dragon. big deal."

𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚔
winifred margaery stark [☒] "don't get any ideas, she-wolf."

daeron mistrusts winifred and has taken a strong disliking to her apparent tendency to be erratic and heedless; the lady of house stark does not strike him as someone who would think twice about crossing him, which is the last thing with which he currently wants to deal.

everett alan ross [] "who?"

daeron is not particularly familiar with everett. he has seen him before, but he's never had any reason to approach him.

laina fyste [] "who?"

daeron is not familiar with laina at all. he has never seen or spoken to her.

niamh mormont [] "a bear is a bear, even if it is bound in servitude to a wolf."

daeron doesn't know anythin about niamh, other than the fact that she is a mormont of bear island and therefore very likely to be a problem is she and her stark allies are allowed to possess too much power.

𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚊𝚊𝚛𝚢𝚗
tiernan arryn [☑] "a pawn in a sea of knights and rooks. thank the seven."

daeron has only met tiernan a few times, but on those occasions, he identified the young arryn as pliable soon-to-be lord with less motivation than many to play the game of thrones. tiernan doesn't seem to be the type that needs to be told to do something twice, and daeron likes that.

𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚞𝚕𝚕𝚢
rowenna tully [] "the boldest trout are the ones that get caught, lady rowenna."

daeron senses a quiet strength in rowenna, one that makes him question the certainty of her allegiance to the throne; he doesn't anticipate her being easy to manipulate or convince of anything, which makes her inherently dangerous, in his eyes.

rylen greyjoy [] "i was expecting someone else."

daeron doesn't quite know what you make of the lord of pyke, not that he would ever say so explicitly. he knew rylen's father and older brothers far better than he had ever thought to learn the youngest heir to the iron islands.

dane arthur baratheon [☒] "insolence will get you nowhere, boy."

daeron despises dane. he think the baratheon is far too young and heedless to make substantial use of any kind of power or title, and he is not amused by the younger man's antics at all.

alissa tyrell [] "there is much to be heard when you keep your own mouth shut."

daeron sees promise in the young heiress of house tyrell, but he can see her becoming a problem for him in the future if she doesn't learn to tame her ambitions and her boldness.

rhaenesa naerys targaryen [✪] "a true dragon born of fire and blood."

rhaenesa is daeron's pride and joy. he thinks that she is growing into a highly capable young lady with the necessary traits to carry on the targaryen line and lead. not to mention that he cares deeply about her and would absolutely lose his mind if something were to happen to her.

visenya targaryen [✪] "learn to wield that wit of yours, my daughter, and you'll have the seven kingdoms on their knees."

like her elder sister, visenya is daeron's pride and joy. although she lacks some of the typical targaryen traits and mannerisms, daeron appreciates her creativity and intelligence and wants for her to become more like himself and rhaenesa as a means of protecting herself, more so than anything else.

"once there was a deer called stag. a white breasted,
many pointed. he refused to still when he halted,
the hooves in his mind were always lifted. everything
comes close, the branches slide. in a clearing made of
cleavings, stag sees another stag. they watch each oth-
er, they share no story. i will not cross you and you must
move on. there is nothing else. it reminds me of some
tale, stay with me to remember, it reminds me of where
i was going without you.
...
the hunter's son watched the hunter. the hunter paints
more rings on his glasses. everything is a target, says the
hunter. no matter where you look. the hunter's son says
nothing, and closes his eyes."
...
the hunter's son watches the stag,
...
the stag watches the hunter's son.

winifred margaery stark [☑] "do you think she bites?"

dane likes winifred's attitude... for the most part. he doesn't know her well, but he finds her impulsivity charming and exciting, and he thinks she could be a lot of fun if the two were to spend more time together, as long as he is able to handle her headstrong nature.

everett alan ross [] "poor man doesn't even know what fun is."

dane neither likes nor dislikes everett. based on what little he knows about everett, dane feels that the stark master-at-arms is far too content to play into the conventions of loyalty and respect, compliance and tradition, and where is the fun in that?

laina fyste [] "the north is too cold too visit often."

dane has not yet met or spoken to laina.

rylen greyjoy [☑] "is it just me, or did the sea just get a little more appealing?"

dane thinks of he and rylen as kindred spirits; he can relate to the lord of pyke's lust for adventure and unexpected ascension to his seat of power. there is some attraction there, but it could just as easily be platonic as it could be romantic.

daeron viserys targaryen [] "not much to like about a rule maker."

dane is at least intelligent enough to know that to blatantly disrespect daeron would be to essentially sign over his rights to having a head, but his feelings about the king are... bitterly indifferent. he doesn't like feeling like a puppet on a string dancing about for some elevated targaryen lord's amusement.

rhaenesa naerys targaryen [] "too much like her father."

dane doesn't much know what to make of rhaenesa. he hasn't had the opportunity to see anything from her that might contradict his perception of her as the king's perfect daughter, the realm's perfect crown princess. he hasn't written her off completely though, which suggests to him that there must be something about her that he is missing.

visenya targaryen [] "a dragon with a heart? i didn't know that was possible."

dane doesn't know her well enough to be fully confident in this assumption, but visenya strikes him as being the gentlest of the dragons that he has ever witnessed in his lifetime. she seems sweet and decidedly unlike her father and sister, but dane isn't quite sure what to make of that yet.

winifred margaery stark [☑] "we are not the same, but i would not stand against you."

everett respects his lady and admires her courage and altruism, but he harbors a quiet fear of the issues that her impulses could invoke upon the north. he is, at heart, a loyal man, so he would not cross her, but at the same time, he can't help but be a little uneasy around her.

laina fyste [☑] "your devotion is familiar."

having been born in the north and to parents of the serving class himself, everett is very familiar with laina and her last family. he admires her realistic outlook on life and her exceptional work ethic, as well as her apparent hunger for knowledge and skill development. he considers her a friend, although he is not sure if the feeling is mutual.

everett does not know daeron personally, but as the stark master-at-arms, he is has gained a considerable awareness of the king and his persuasions. everett respects authority, so he does not dislike daeron, but he also does not exactly trust him.

rhaenesa naerys targaryen [] "i hope your rule will be as fair as your appearance."

everett does not know much about the heir apparent to the iron throne, but from what he has heard, she is very much like her father; therefore, his feelings about her are very parallel to those that he feels for her father.

visenya targaryen [] "who are you?"

everett does not know much about the princess of the seven kingdoms, but from what he has heard, she seems to boast a gentler touch than her father and elder sister. he would be interested to meet her face to face.
