The Dragonpit

'Thank you Your Highness, I shall make sure to do that as soon as I am able.. does His Majesty keep court hours?.. Thank you, I shall see to finding out who they are and send some letters of introduction.' Yana smiles warmly 'I've only seen her remotly ferocious less times than I can count on one hand.. shes very placid and quiet from what I hear about other dragons.. it amazes me that those that are bonded seem more wild than their wild counterparts in the tales' Yana scratches a place that Spinel loves and Spinel nudges for more when Yana stops. 'I never thought that a dragon would ever bother coming near me.. to be honest I did not even know i was on Dragonstone until i'd been there almost a month.. the only dragons i had seen were Spinel and a partialy eaten, ragged carcass

'I was on a ship, i'd paid passage to the mainland.. the capitan decided to dump me after i refused to amuse the crew.. there were..' she ahems '..several unwelcome geldings..' thankfully he dumped my gear with me so i wasnt completly stranded.. but still in an unknown place my only choice was to start walking and try to find people and some description of habitation' Yana nods 'I shall see i can find a Handler and see if they mind me leaving Spinel with them for a short time until i can make more pernamant arrangements for my time here then i shall come join the petitioners'

Yana looks a little charined and embarrised 'Please excuse my ignorance.. we mostly have camped outside of towns or made arrangements when we've visited a larger place' Spinel noses their bags and once Yana's removed her pack and the riding bags Spinel wanders off to investigate in her calm quiet manner, occasionally passing a greeting to any dragons she might pass

"My uncle liked his northern women, it seems. You've siblings born on both sides of the blanket," Rhaella said. "But your father died a hero, you will be pleased to know. He and his dragon fell fighting House Targaryen's greatest enemies."

"I regret that they are all away from court at present, though I have high hopes your sister, Lady Adara, will be returning soon. She accompanied my youngest daughter on a visit to the Summer Isles. I am sorry for the present circumstances, but we could not predict your coming. I would like to offer you my hospitality, nonetheless."

"Of course. I am sure you will find someone to direct you through the streets until the Red Keep is visible. In the meantime, you may apply to a steward for lodging if you wish to reside in the castle."

(urg continutiy lol)

After leaving the king (very much alive) and after her summons to lord hands office and after meeting Vira for dinner.. Yana gets ready to leave the day after being asked to deliver the envelope by King Maegor

Yana having gotten some simple food from the keeps kitchens she dresses in her traveling clothes of a tunic, trousers and knee length overcoat all in leather

she saddles Spinel in her simple leather pad and does the straps up 'is that comfortable Spinel?' she asks and Spinel makes an agreeable sound while scratching an itch. Yana ties on her travel bag and vaulting onto Spinel with a yelp as it jolts her happy but abused body painfully in a nice reminder like way, she ties her leg laces and nudges Spinel out into the dark open area of the pit.

Letting out a cry of joy Spinel takes off and Yana directs her in the direction of the Narrow Sea to cross it and find King Maegor's son and daughter to deliver the missive she's been given

They settle into a distance eating pace knowing nothing of the chaos happening as they travel

Janos arrived at the Dragonpit early in the morning, having arraigned for his belongings to be transported to Driftmark.
He arrived at the Dark Unlit cave where Caligo resided, which seemed as if it were empty, walking at a leisurely pace.
"Caligo, time for a ride" he said relatively loudly.
At the noise suddenly part of the wall began moving as the large form of a Black Dragons head seemingly emerged from stone, turning to face Janos, and while silent, the look in Caligo's eyes indicated that he was not happy about his slumber being disturbed.
Janos put his hand on the front part of the large Dragon's face as he said "You can and will go back to sleep when we get to Driftmark"
Caligo for a moment just stared at Janos, some annoyance in his eyes, before he started moving, at which point a huge part of the cave wall seemingly came to life, adding to Caligo's size even more. The fact that such a large creature was moving silently but for the noise made by his talons on the cave floor. Once in the main area of the Dragonpit Janos climbed atop Caligo, as the dragon began its ascent.

Malcolm watches quietly as Maekar lands, eyeing him for the first time in years. When he reached the exit of the dragonpit, Malcolm whistled quietly, walking towards him from behind. "Prince Maekar, a word?"

"Arriving somewhere without warning can be as advantageous as arriving to a fanfare. With the king dead, we may see a succession crisis on our hands. Such a clash would be most unfortunate, don't you agree?" Malcolm smiled as he reached Maekar, looking around at the city. "It would bring nothing but destruction to our people."

"I'm not suggesting anything, I'm just saying that it would be a shame if this was to come to a public clash between princes." Malcolm smiled at Maekar now, staring into his.. eye. "We all know the pain such a battle could bring."

"Of course. The gods will see that the true king sits on the Iron Throne. I look forward to seeing you up there." Malcolm bows, turning and heading into the dragonpit.
