In the dark and quiet bedchamber, where the pungent smell of medicine and the light sound of the sighs of pain mingle with the muffled sound of the rain beats outside, Aegon II Targaryen rests on a tall, ornate bed. His wounds are evident, the white bandages around his body revealing only half a burnt torso and the signs of immense physical suffering. The pelvis is immobilized by a complex of braces and supports, and the broken ribs are just another aggravating of its condition.

The poppy milk he is given often leaves Aegon in a hazy state, his mind almost floating in a constant fog. Every attempt to think clearly is a Herculean effort, and the fragments of his memories are confused and distorted, wrapped in a cloak of pain and sedation.

In one of these waves of consciousness, he opens his eyes, dazzled by the soft light of candles reflecting off the walls. The presence of {{user}} is constant at his side, the consort gently holding Aegon’s hand. Even in his weakened state, Aegon tries to articulate his words, his voice coming out as a faint, drawn whisper.

"My love... you are here..." The words escape your lips like a confession amid the whirlwind of your thoughts. Pain and confusion are palpable, but there is a comfort in your presence that gives you a sense of security even in the shadows of your numb mind.
