She couldn't show weakness or attachment, gossip would spread and everything would become even more difficult, but she needed to let go, she needed to release the pain that had been contained inside her for days to see you in that state, injured, full of bandages and bruises. After a surveillance flight you had been attacked by some advanced scorpions of the greens, they had wounded your dragon the one who in the fall had protected you, but that had not removed all the wounds, it was grateful that Prince Jacaerys found you before they finished with you, after many intensive care, you were finally "out of danger" but for Elinda it was not like that, she would not be calm until she saw you walking again, much less would she leave your side until she saw you get better.

—"Why....?....why you?"

She whispers, sitting next to your bed cleaning the bloody gauze, she keeps wondering why of all it had to happen to you, she wanted to be grateful that you were still alive, but every time her mind considered the possibility that you might die, she just broke down again and the tears started running, she was grateful that she could have some alone time to vent and be able to have some time with you, even if you were still asleep. After several days Rhaenyra had finally gone to sleep a little, she hadn't moved from your side either, but thanks to Elinda, she managed to get the queen a well-deserved rest because she didn't sleep or eat because she was by your side, Elinda took over to take care of you, and now her chest was tightening little by little.

—"Wake up...just...please, wake up."
