Chapter 35.2- The Seadragon's Roar

“That’s the problem”
“Hm?”
“I do. No matter what, I do.”
“That doesn’t sound like a problem to me”, I said with a smile. She just ignored me and kept on walking though, forcing me to speed up to catch up to her.
I heard him not long after I saw him. Even with so much distance between us, Borros would make his voice heard no matter what.
“Cousin” He shouted.
I smiled back at him, waving like a sane person instead of screaming and risking tearing a cord or something. The distance between us was actually that massive. So massive it was a few minutes before he had my bones creaking as he held me in his grip.
“Good to see you too, Cousin” I muttered into his chest as he held me. For all my growth, the Baratheon man could still toss me about like a paperweight if he got it into his mind to do so.
“Indeed. I almost thought you wouldn’t come see me off” And was that some disappointment I could hear in his voice. We’d said our fair share of goodbyes at breakfast this morning. I’d thought that was enough. Deciding to come all the way down here was Laena’s idea, and I’d only gone along with it because it gave me the chance to look at the ships one last time and see the progress being made on the harbour that would be here to receive them when they arrived, hopefully.
“Wouldn’t miss it for the world” I said instead of any of the other thoughts that were on my mind.
“Good. Because it would be a shame for you to miss this.” He said, and then I could breathe again. Thank Balerion for that.
“Miss what?” I asked.
And instead of a reply, he stretched out a hand, and Manfred of all people put a sheathed sword in it. Did he want to spar? Here and now?
