"You are the sweetest thing I've yet seen." Saera spoke in a slow and sweet voice as she pet her horse's head after a long day of riding through the shores of Dragonstone.

"Thought I was your sweetest thing." Jacaerys chuckled as he came into the castle's stable, giving his twin sister a broad and smug smile. Saera smiled lightly and turned to Jacaerys, taking off her riding gloves and dropping them to the side. "You are definitely in the list, but not at the top. Mellow definitely has that spot." Saera jested though she definitely meant it.

"Ah very well then." Jacaerys chuckled, putting out his arm to escort his twin away from the horse and out the stable. Saera took it and followed Jace, like she usually always did.

"I wish you spent as much time riding with me on Vermax as you do your horses." Jacaerys chuckled as he guided her back inside the castle, and thought she knew he meant no harm, she was still annoyed at his words. But she would never say that.

"Dragonback makes me feel uneasy, Jacaerys. You know this. I was not made to ride a dragon." Saera answered as truthfully and kindly as she could. "Yes you were, Saera. You just have to practice. You need to let me take you riding more."

"Twas not, Jacaerys. And I like it that way. I do not need a dragon to feel worthy of anything. I learnt that a long time ago." Saera shrugged as they turned corners of the castle. "Perhaps not, but you need one to fly above the skies with your future king and lord husband." He answered cheekily.

"Oh hush. The Gods did not let my egg hatch, so they did not wish for me to fly in the skies. It really is as simple as that." Saera said. Sure it stung when even her new baby brother's eggs hatched, but she got over it. She was a religious one, and if the gods did not give her something it was for good reason, she was sure.

Jacaerys remained silent, clearly annoyed at her nonchalant approach to her heritage, but he brushed it off. Saera turned to him suddenly and sighed. "Do you ever wonder... about King's Landing? About our family? About court?" She asked out of the blue.

"Wonder? No, do you?" Jacaerys asked and she nodded her head instantly. "I think about our grandsire all the time... about our aunt and about our uncles." The last part made Jace visibly upset, and Saera regretted bringing it up instantly.
