[X] Plan: A Wonderful Sight (Alicent Edition)
Partly expecting and partly hoping.Rhaenys comes off as jaded and bitter, expecting Rhaenyra to end up the same as her. Somewhat sad to see.
May I ask why? Just curious. Qoren already knows very well that we're a highly skilled and passionate warrior/knight (it's basically the most scandalous thing to know about us and so likely the farthest reaching), and he comes from a culture where such things are not abnormal, so he wouldn't even have an ingrained inclination to brush it off. Meanwhile, the other options we have are:
Thanks for the info
Just noticed - was this meant to say Speak with Lord Lyonel Strong?You have Begun Your Mentorship Under Lord Strong. You Are Expected to Attend Court, Study Law or Speak with Lord Harwin Strong At Least Once Every Three Turns
It just seems fun to duel every marriage candidate we met. We've beaten Harwin and the next sword training we'll take, Gwayne will be my priority target. In a more serious consideration I like Azel plan the most but in fun+serious scale I put Alicent, Duel, and Dragon on equal weight with Harp just a little behind.May I ask why? Just curious.

Meanwhile, the other options we have are:
- something cool and unique that he has never experienced before;
- trying to bond over literally the only interest we currently know we have in common;
- putting him next to the person we kinda want to spend the rest of our life with to see how they vibe.
I personally find it so hard to choose between these three that the duel and hawking are basically just not worth it for me.
How is it a threat to let him ride a dragon? He knows we have them. He knows that he expressed interest in marrying a dragonrider. If anything, we would be showing him that a dragon is not just a nuke, but a means to see the world from a bird's eye view, to be free from gravity and far away from earthly concerns for a moment. And we would express that we are fine with letting him share in this freedom.Taking him on a dragon ride is the single worst possible thing to do. He's Dornish. With Rhoynish ancestry. To him, a dragon is the thing that burns your house down. This is not going to leave a remotely good impression with him, since it comes off as just more blatant threats from dragonriders.
Preach Sister.You stood there, beyond frustrated at her words, and some of the truths behind them. No matter what you did there would always be men who stood in your way. Men like Unwin Peake.
Thankfully, you had one thing they would never have. A dragon.
Since the moment he arrived, everyone has been showing off their dragons as as how of force. This will just read as more of that.How is it a threat to let him ride a dragon? He knows we have them.

Eh, Qoren will never be a dragonrider. Any children he had with us, however, could be.And we would express that we are fine with letting him share in this freedom.
Poor Laena, all hungry and saddle-sore.Vagar has been hovering over the city ever since he set foot in it.
I mean, it might read this way if we just took him to the Dragonpit to say "look at Syrax, how mighty she is", but we have, like, words. And a very good excuse because he's an artist and the view up there is seriously breathtaking. And genuine personal feelings about flight that would almost certainly shine through if we say at least two sentences on the matter. If he ignores all that... honestly I think it would be hard to ignore all that and read only the threat to get offended by.Since the moment he arrived, everyone has been showing off their dragons as as how of force.

I just don't see how this is beneficial at all? The point of the exercise is to get to know him, not to try really hard to convince him that Syrax is a good girl. I don't see how starting this conflict is in any way helpful.I mean, it might read this way if we just took him to the Dragonpit to say "look at Syrax, how mighty she is", but we have, like, words.

dear god.
Rhaenyra: does her best to charm the Prince of Dorne
Tarly: already swore to himself that he would say Not A Single Godsdamned Word
I think you're in the wrong thread?
Ser Raylon would hold to his oaths and manage not to assassinate the man with us as a witness even if he wasn't Near-Unquestioningly Loyal. Which he is.Maybe we should have Rhea or someone not so anti-Dornish available just in case.
Nope, that's what happens when you copy-paste a vote when using Google translate or something similar.
No, he is voting the auto translated version of the plan knowing things...
