In the Tovar Manse, where she resides.

After hearing that the Sea Crow's departure would take place the day after tomorrow and not the next morning as Vira had said, Alexys made her way to her rooms, her constant frown back on her face. She'd dropped her cloak and the travel money in her own room first, and disposed of the short letter she had written to explain her disappearance.
"Mother? Are you here?" she called before opening the door and stepping in.

"Chaya" closed the door and took a few steps forward, leaning a hand on her mother's dresser. "I think I should go alone," she said in Common Tongue.

"I am not planning on sneaking to Dragonmont anymore. I will go to King's Landing and ask the dragonqueen's permission to tame a dragon. I do not want to risk getting caught sneaking in, or what if someone should recognize you? What I can do is go there and pretend I am just another Targaryen bastard looking to impress their queen," she retorted.

Alexys almost smiled at the praise, but didn't, not appreciating her mother's tone of surprise. "I could do that," she said, and moved to the table to take a seat. "What can you tell me about the Crownlands? I could use a name of some town, perhaps one with a port." She had no intentions of announcing herself a daughter of a peasant. A merchant would have been better.

Alexys stood and crossed the short distant to observe the map, noting that it was still more detailed than the ones painted in the history books. "That ought to do," she said, studying the map for a long time before turning to Vira. "What are you planning to do in the meantime?" she inquired, well aware that she might not even return from her trip, but not wanting her mother to know she had any such thoughts.

"I'll say she's from Pennyfeathers, does not necessarily mean she lived there for all her life," Alexys said, waving a hand in dismissal as if this was not an issue. "It is doubtful she would be wasting her time with the proceedings of some peasant woman."

Alexys scoffed. "Reveal myself to a Velaryon and pretend to be his bastard? I can think of more pleasant ways to get by, such as sticking my eyes out with a hot poker," she remarked, and took a few steps back to the door to make Vira feel like this little meeting had reached it's end, at least from her daughter's end. "Are you going to tell me what you will do, or not? I have travel arrangements to make."

She clenched her jaw, feeling her anger rise at her mother's numerous assumptions and high ambitions when all Alexys herself wanted was vengeance, but what irked her the most was Vira's tendency to order her around however she saw fit. "Of course. Write me the letter then," she said after a pause through gritted teeth.

"I know," Alexys deadpanned at her mother's observation about her looks, rolling her eyes at her last comment. Vira's dress recommendation went in through her one ear and out through the other. "I will bring my swords, gold and a dress or two," she added, looking at the parchment on the desk, as if staring it down would somehow make the letter appear faster.

Alexys was somewhat glad Vira had mentioned tailoring the dress so she did not have to make the awkwardly obvious comment about how it would not fit her. "Volantis?" she inquired, raising an eyebrow and looking down at her mother now instead of the letter. "Why there?"

"Why not tame one yourself?" Alexys asked, accepting the letter and stuffing it into her bodice. "Better not force Tavio into this, he might piss himself," she said with a smirk, thinking there were better things to do than to watch after that soft oaf, but relented. "I will."
