If Daemon kills me, you have my leave to do as you like and tell me I've been wrong. But until that happens, and it will not, I am asking you. Leave it be. I am in no hurry to die.
[ it is painful to admit it, that he might want a chance to survive his oncoming fight with daemon in future. who else would it be? no one else deserves to fight him more than aemond, and no one else deserves to meet vhagar in the field than daemon.
uncle and nephew, who are mirrors of each other. aemond will do everything he can to drag daemon with him into the stranger's embrace. ]
Is it not the way of anger, to refuse companionship?
[ aemond was never disciplined by hand — no one would dare strike a dragon prince, save for his father and his mother, and otto only dares in utter privacy. no, aemond learns punishment through deprivation: the lack of touch, the lack of attention, the lack of any kind of recognition or affection or familial warmth.
he has suffered a great absence for as long as he can remember. ]
I'll stay for the cake. I'm not like to break something tonight.
[ He won't pretend otherwise. Tim gets hurt, storms off. Aemond knows this, it's the reason that Tim retreated into the room that Aegon occupies now, after arguing with Hawk about Danny's murder. But what he's done is no crime, is no offense against Tim, it's just self-flagellation, whether he considers it so or not. ]
Perhaps you should be. I cause enough harm and hurt as it is, and I'm like as to do it again.
[ wouldn't it be easier to cast him aside, like all the others? it's a self-fulfilling cycle, what aemond does, and he recognises it. he doesn't know any other way to be. ]
I will join you. Tell me when you want me to be there.
[ he has to emotionally prepare himself for this. not the cake, or the eating of it, but the sharing in tim's attention with the man he loves. aemond knows his place, of course, but he is a dragon - he knows his nature well, and a dragon's nature is to covet. ]
