i'm glad you said it. ( ren grinned and started braiding a bit of geralt's hair as she spoke. ) i enjoy your company. you don't put on airs like many do when I tell them i'm a princess. you treat me like a person. that's really all i want.

just nice? so you merely tolerate me? ( ren gives geralt a teasing smirk as she hands back his drink to him. ) i'm better for seeing you geralt.

don't you dare come near me. no. 🗡

( ren isn't easily insulted so she'll be fine. she pours some tea and offers it to visenya. ) i have enjoyed my time here so far. the dragons have been especially amazing to see. my realm used to have dragons but they are all gone now. we certainly didn't ride them.

( it is fortunate that visenya hadn't accidentally insulted a visiting princess, heh. ) i see. forgive me, i'd just returned from a visit to the eyrie so i hadn't been aware of possible allies visiting. i hope you've been enjoying your time here.

( ren laughed softly. if only he knew how old she really was. ) a surprise you say? why is that?

—— it is a surprise to find a young 𝓵ady here. how are you faring .ᐣ

( ren tilted her head to the side in confusion. a moment passed. then realization. her cheeks darken. ) oh! oh. i have never. i usually spend time with my animal friends.

____ ❝ A lover you say? ❞ 》 Finan chuckled. 《 ❝ Where is your love then? Did you bring it to this realm? ❞

( renirien does not act like a princess much of the time. so the mistake is understandable. ) my father came here to forge an alliance between my family and your mother. i came along to see this new place and meet new people.

〜 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐘𝐀 ⵑ@halfdraconic.bsky.social · 4mo ago

( ah! her apologies, she hadn't known that dragonstone had guests. ) renirien, hm. 'tis a pleasure to meet you. i am princess visenya of house targaryen. what brings you here to our realm? ( catching sight of the pointed ears, fascinated; with growing curiosity for the unknown. )

it's so good to see you master witcher! ( a soft peck to his cheek before she nabbed his cup and took a drink from it. ) have you been faring well? ☺️
