Characters: Dany, Zelgadis, and Amelia
Date: April 6th
Location: Dany's apartment
Situation: Dany's looking to hire some bodyguards.
Warnings/Rating: Should be fairly G-rated???
[ She's worked with sellswords before, of course. Watched Viserys try to treat with them as children, and then later, as a woman grown and a queen, treated with them herself. She knows the steps of this dance.
But she misses Daario. The memory of his smug smile, the cruel glimmer in his eye, and the weight of his hands on her makes her heart ache. She misses him. Him, and steadfast Ser Barristan, sweet little Missandei, her handmaids Irri and Jhiqui, and even Jorah Mormont, her tough old bear. Yet she is here, alone.
She sets the tea to boil to prepare, and finds some food in the pantry that looks suitable (and easy to prepare), and waits for her guest to arrive. ]

So sorry for the wait. >.<
[Amelia, tiny in comparison to her companion, beams at Dany. For a moment she wonders at the veil, but it's only a passing mental query. People wear very different clothes here.]
[Her attention is distracted by Zelgadis' statement. . . . Now? It's his choice, but . . . Her head tilted, awkward.]
. . . Zelgadis-san, maybe you should do some talking first?
[She could understand if he wanted to get it over with, but it seemed like some talking would help with the credibility he wanted to build.]
likewise!
[ But despite her smile, she is curious. Women, of course, often cover themselves, as a sign of modesty or to protect their skin from the ravages of the sun. That a man covers himself is enough to draw her interest. ]
Re: likewise!
This isn't the type of thing people react rationally to. I don't think talking will help.
[With that, Zel did actually slide the scarf covering his mouth and nose out of the way, and pulls his hood off, in a surprisingly efficient gesture for all that build-up.]
no subject
[But this is what she's mainly there for, she suspects. Moral support. Teeth knifing into her lower lip, she watches him remove the covering, eyes flickering to Dany.]
no subject
...but not for the reason Zelgadis and Amelia might think. ]
You suffer the greyscale affliction.
[ Her voice is not without compassion. ]
no subject
[That... was not what he had expected at all.]
no subject
It's not a sickness! [A small flush.] He's not sick.
It's a spell. His grandfather did it. [Or was it his great-grandfather?] His grandfather did it without his permission, then wouldn't change him back.
[Her mouth firms.] But it gives him a lot of strengths, too, and it doesn't change who he is as a person, so it's your advantage to take him on. He's a good swordsman and a good sorcerer, so. Yes.
[Someone is maybe just a little protective after all.]
