video; after the move

[lemontree]

[ Well, this is certainly a change. The sun is a welcome sight, after so long... though, it's unforgiving, scorching. Familiar.

That may be why Dany is dressed differently than normal, addressing the network with a quiet sort of resolve. ]

I have not met many of you, but I hope that you all avoided as much of the suffering from the Null as possible. I know it hasn't been easy, not for anyone.

[ And, judging by the weather, it'll only get more difficult. ]

I am Daenerys. I am Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, and this new land is not unfamiliar to me. I have never been here, but I have spent much of my time in these past few years, before Hadriel, in a similar place. Whether in the lands of the Dothraki or in the unforgiving Red Waste, I have endured, and that is why I want to help.

[ Girl knows her deserts. Dany draws herself up, working toward a presentation with as much credibility as possible. ]

I intend to travel and to explore the area. If there are any others who would join me, then I welcome the company... and, frankly, the protection. Despite my practice, I am not a warrior by any means. [ Ahem. ] Until our party leaves, I am available to aid those who are struggling with the climate. Please, call on me and I will be there.

[ There's a pause, and a tiny smile as she dips her chin. ]

Be well.

I know the feeling. [ Her own dragons have saved her life more than once.

Jordan seems to approve of her, or so she guesses, by the way the creature approaches. She holds her breath instinctively, letting the dragon do what it will... and eventually raises a hand to gingerly lay on its back, taking action very carefully. ]

He's gorgeous. [ She murmurs, voice full of longing. ]

[Ladon happily bumps his snout against her hand, not minding being touched at all.

Jordan smiles fondly at the interaction.] He likes being scratched in the spot right between his eyes. [He supplies that information helpfully and then his tone turns curious.] You don't... really seem as shocked as other people might be at seeing a dragon.

[lemontree]

[ Dany is happy to scratch Ladon between his eyes as Jordan indicates, smiling softly. Almost wistfully. ]

I am the Mother of Dragons. I have three of my own, though they are not here with me.

[ To her great regret. The young queen sighs, continuing to pay attention to the only dragon that has been in her presence since her arrival. ]

I wish that they could be.

[kindrake]

Mother of Dragons... Is that just a title or are you some kind of person that can shapeshift between a dragon and a human?

[lemontree]

A title. [ She admits, though she thinks of the dragon she'd met in Hadriel who could shift between the two. ] My family has long since been connected to dragons.

[ Even after they vanished from the world. ]
