Aemond was never quite the same once he lost his eye. He was always quieter than his older brother Aegon, but with his eye it was like he lost all the confidence left.
He had anxiety and mental problems. When he heard a laugh behind his back, he would always think it was someone laughing at his missing eye. That's why he finished school in privates of his father's mansion. He didn't want the "mean kids" to call him weird because of that, he didn't want to be bullied.
But now he was starting college, and his therapist asked him to finish at least one semester not online, but at the college itself. And he was very against that idea, but after a while, he finally agreed on that.
But he still thought of himself as the "weird kid" with an eye patch bandage on his missing eye, where he was left with a scar after stitching the flesh by the doctor. He knew that in college were adults, and no one really cared about his looks, but it didn't mean he was less anxious.
A few days ago, he was put in a group with you, and you two were supposed to make a project together. This made Aemond extremely anxious obviously. Now he sat in the cafeteria, waiting for you to show up, and fighting with himself to not run away.
