gelenka: to encourage, strengthen, enable (♕ kustikagon)

I have many...hobbies. [One of which includes enjoying the sight - and touch - of good-looking men. Speaking of which...] You look strong. Are you a warrior?

[Watch her change subjects like a boss.]
unnatural_animal: (sometime poet)

Barking up the wrong tree there, Dany...

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
I have some skill at.

[Which is apparently code for 'the most famous warrior in Europe since the age of fifteen.' But despite what he might say, the answer is clear just by looking at him. Richard is big, battle-scarred, and manages to give the impression that even while sitting entirely at his ease he is only a split-second away from leaping into action. He practically reeks of violence. There's not much else he could be.]
gelenka: queen (♕ dāria)

She likes big, strong violent men. Look at Drogo.

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
More than some judging your size. I have become accustomed to measuring a man's...talents...by sight alone. It comes in handy when you lead an army.

[Men of all sizes have their place in battle. She would use someone of his size at the front and at the back.]
unnatural_animal: (the world in small)

How about big, strong, violent, and gay as a... a very gay thing men?

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Does it now?

[He's keeping admirably silent about his own experience in leading armies and his own experience in cherry picking men out of it for their... talents. She reminds him of a little of a less experience Eleanor and the idea is both amusing and faintly terrifying.]

And do you have a fair measure of mine, then?
gelenka: to smile upon (♕ ilīrigon)

Oh the gay part can be interesting too. She doesn't mind watching. omgwhatisprivacyandmorals?

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[They have something in common! She smiles easily - it is the smile of a woman who is secure in herself and in her position.]

You are able-bodied, handsome and you hold your tongue well. All of those are admirable qualities.
unnatural_animal: (a knowledgeable family)

Nope. Pretty sure Richard's limits can now be summed up by 'having some girl watch the sexytimes.'

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Are those the only qualities you look for in your men?

[The only thing keeping him from laughing is the need to maintain his reputation as the brother without the sense of humor. Whether she's trying to get his service for her would-be army or her bed, it's equally funny to him.]

I've never known a commander to pick their forces based on good looks.
gelenka: dāervose jevosy yne enkot daor. (♕ biarves)

:( Don't be a party pooper, Richard. You're hot.

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hardly. [But it's not like they've had many in-depth conversations.] It's a good start.

[She laughs and shakes her head.]

Looks are not important on the battlefield. I use them to determine who will help me celebrate our victories.
unnatural_animal: (favorite)

She can watch him kill things instead? He can be hot doing that too.

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Still being polite and not laughing, but he smiles at that.] If nothing else that ought to be incentive for most to guard their faces if not their lives.

[His own face has clearly been smashed and slashed a few times itself, with his scars and broken nose, but he's still a good-looking (and rather vain) prince.]
Edited 2015-01-12 06:24 (UTC)
gelenka: queen (♕ dāria)

Alright. Good compromise.

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine they take wagers on such things. [But she is picky about who catches her eye. It's not quite enough for them to be good-looking. There has to be strength and bravery to them too.] How many men are worthy of bedding a Dragon?
unnatural_animal: (a knowledgeable family)

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He can think of at least one man who would be unwilling to, even if found worthy.]

As many as are prepared to put up with the scales and fangs, I'd say.
gelenka: dāervose jevosy yne enkot daor. (♕ jelmāzma)

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
You take my words literally. [Though there is a literal truth to them. Dragon blood flows in her veins, but she lacks the scales and fangs.] Do I look like I am covered in scales, ser? I assure you I do not have fangs.
unnatural_animal: (Default)

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[It was as close as he'll come to a joke. And he's got no room to judge after all, what with how much he loves retelling the old family legend about the Angevin bride whose demon blood makes them quarrel and plot.]

The cleverest beasts masquerade in human form and sprout wings and teeth when we least expect it. Who am I to judge?

[Whether he's being literal or making some veiled reference to his immediate family can be unclear. His canon's like that.]
gelenka: the Unburnt (♕ dorzalty)

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
So they do. [She knows that lesson well. Sometimes even the dearest of friends can hide their true intentions under dutiful guises.] My children are more likely to show you their wings and teeth, however.

It is unforgivable that I have been separated from them.
unnatural_animal: (rebel prince)

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps it was done on purpose. After all, a she-wolf will fight her fiercest if her cubs are at stake. They might want to see what you will do to get them back.
gelenka: dāervose jevosy yne enkot daor. (♕ ajomemēbagon)

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
If it is a fight they seek, it is a fight they shall have. Those who separated me from them last were consumed by their flames.
unnatural_animal: (Default)

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Richard might be the stoic brother, but that doesn't mean he's the dumb one, even if he doesn't put his plotting on display like the other two. And in this case he is more than capable of putting the constant references to dragons and her children's flames together.

Maybe he wasn't that far off the mark with the comment about hidden wings and fangs. He's from the middle ages. A dragon that looks like a woman is hardly the most incredible thing he's ever heard.]


There must surely have been easier ways to accomplish it, if immolation was their intent all along.
gelenka: to smile upon (♕ ilīrigon)

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[His humor quiets her rage and she gives him a small grin. Those in the House of the Undying had surely had suicidal tendencies. Why else provoke her and her Dragons? Or perhaps they did not think she was strong enough to fight their tricks. Either way, they got what was coming to them.

She is meant to rule - not be housed with wizards like some trophy.]


They learned the folly of their ways far too late. I do not grieve them.
unnatural_animal: (when the fall is all there is)

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Why should you grieve for your enemies? Leave that to priests. No man would willingly follow such a commander.

[At least he certainly wouldn't.]
gelenka: womankind, all women; humanity, all people (♕ ābrar)

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
They were not my enemies until they made themselves so. Before, they were merely citizens. [It's not like they were an army or a group of mercenaries.] I show all of my enemies what justice feels like.
unnatural_animal: (when the fall is all there is)

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
A man either is your enemy or he isn't. What he has been in the past or may be in the future are separate affairs.

[Spoken like a man who is engaged in near constant war with his own barons and vassals, contented one day and at his throat the next over some petty thing in that Aquitaine way. He'd expect nothing less. After all, how many times has he turned around and treated his own father the same way?]
gelenka: choice (♕ iderennon)

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
You judge men only once? A man's life can linger on and his deeds may change from one year to the next. I fear you miss much of his character if you decide he is solely your enemy.

Though... [She tilts her head thoughtfully.] He should pay for every injustice he has committed.
unnatural_animal: (Plantagenet)

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Only The Lord judges for eternity. I don't have the leisure to wait for Doomsday and so judge men by the moment.

[Simpler that way and Richard does give every appearance of being a fairly simple man.]
Edited (what is grammar) 2015-01-12 07:39 (UTC)
gelenka: to defend, protect (♕ mīsagon)

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
The Lord? [Sorry, Richard, religions vary from world to world.] Which lord is that?
unnatural_animal: (Default)

[personal profile] unnatural_animal 2015-01-12 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
The Lord God. [Duh.] What other would there be?

[Religion is one of those things which Richard can have a decidedly tricky relationship with, but at the moment they're growing closer. Before being so rudely pulled from home he was beginning to think seriously about crusades...]
gelenka: moon (♕ hūra)

[personal profile] gelenka 2015-01-12 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
I do not know which one you refer to. [There are many, many beliefs in Westeros and beyond.] There are many gods in my world.
