[ A short delay; he's still not in the habit of checking his phone. ]

How is that possible?

[ Afterlife theory gaining traction.. ]

[principled]

I could not rightly say. But I was given the names of Queen Rhaenyra, Prince Daemon, and Prince Jacaerys, as well as Alicent Hightower, three of her children, and one Daenerys, the last supposedly from our future. None of them now remain.

[anvilled]

Are you sure they're not lying to curry your favour?
How could a girl from our future be here if she is not yet dead?

[principled]

If it is a lie, it is a needlessly elaborately constructed one.

And I do not believe all who pass through here to be familiar with the Stranger.

[anvilled]

Why else would we be here and not where we are supposed to be?

There is some fucking plan at work here brother
I refuse to believe their lies.

[principled]

I will not argue the point on these devices.

[ Not a concession, nor an explanation, when what he means is, I refuse to believe you are dead. ]

But the fact remains. There are some here who do know of our family.

[ And who may not think of them kindly, but that's hardly different from their usual circumstances. ]

[anvilled]

Hardly notable. There are birds shitting on black rocks off the coast of the Northern isles who know of our family

What should we do about it in any case?
Better that they know who and what they're dealing with. I would not have them disrespect us.

[principled]

It requires less action than awareness.

[ Though he finds it stranger to be known than Maekar does, having already experienced his fair share of blank stares in answer to his family name. ]

And we shall deal with the rest as it comes.

🎀?

[ Unhappy to be agreeing, but glad to be able to rely on his brother's guidance: ]

Very well.
