How do you believe in them? Many fear them, many worship them. I'm not sure where I stand.
[ She admits, as if she has elevated a bit beyond simply believing in a force that controls them all.
Daenerys feels some sort of kinship with him – a respect that eases her to be far more comfortable than she would wish to. However, a queen who trusts no one is as foolish as a queen who trusts everyone. Eren has earned this much. ]
Then... [ The hesitance is there, as if she's coming to terms with something. ] Perhaps the changes on the outside remain minimal in the grand scheme of everything.
[ again, with the good man business. it doesn’t hit eren heavily this time, as it did a bit on the first. perhaps it had been the fine wine, dulling his sensitivity and absorbing it in the warmth in his belly. yes, warmth there, spreading to his chest and warning him to be careful. the dragon inclines his head, sets his glass away for good, and behind him, damn it, his tail. it does a subtle bouncy thing, enough that he nearly steps on it to keep from moving around more than necessary. ]
You’re sure of yourself. [ it’s not a question, just a fond acknowledgement. he’ll take it to heart this time, and be grateful for it. ] I feel the same way, about you.

[ another gesture, this time past his waist. he hasn’t met the one who calls him yet— but he has a feeling. through everything he’s learned and the predecessors before him, to even what had happened at home, with him. it was so easy for stories to twist out of proportion. because people see things very out of proportion. ]
I'm sure because I've seen bad men masked as good ones. I've learned to weed them out in a short amount of time, much like most of the challenges that rose against me.
[ She's confident that there's an allegiance that warms the tightening flame sacs in her chest, makes her cheeks warm with a flushed red that she quickly hides as she turns. ]
You offer good council and company, I appreciate both.
[ SIP, SIP. Her eyes finally look back to him when his words pull more otherworldly — gods, devils, and the like were something she did not practice or pretend to understand. ]
Then we must hope the devils we find here are not in power. I wish to return home, to my people and the path I march along. To my children. I will not be able to with them in my way.
